Great Get Away!! Quiet resort, with ocean front view and benefit of resort amenities including walkable tiki bar and restaurant. It was the perfect time of year to visit during off season- not crowded, and plenty to do. Room was dated but clean with daily housekeeping and linen service. Hotel staff was attentive and checked in to address any issues timely. Breakfast was fresh with healthy selections. The beach was beautiful and daily set up of chairs and umbrellas by the staff was very helpful. Paddle boards, kayak and bikes included in the resort fee provided many options for fun. We will be back!

Paradise in Sanibel I reserved a room for a quick solo trip to Sanibel Island. I found Song of the Sea on this website. The reviews were great. So I decided to go. OMG - this place is sooo beautiful and the beach was great. I love to shell and founds lots of them there. The staff was so nice and helpful. Michael , one of the staff members couldn't be any nicer, he made me feel right at home in this paradise. Also there is another person, Amanda she was sooo helpful as well, she told me a lot about the grounds and she even told me about their awesome breakfast drinks, fresh squeezed orange/strawberry juice. Sooo good !!!!!!! I love this place, so easy to get to. Close to a lot of fun things to do. I will be back, someday. Thanks for a wonderful paradise vacation !!!! marcie

Great location Exactly what we were looking for, close to family member’s time share. Loved large refrigerator. Nice hotel breakfast. Fruit was great. Clean. Friendly staff. Pool was great and not too crowded. Will certainly be back next year if we don’t buy a time share.

Song of the Sea, Sanibel Island Place was great, clean and great service. The structure is not modern, but they are clean and bathrooms are renovated (a big deal for me). Love the vintage decoration inside as well and it felt so cozy. Anvar in front desk was amazing!

Perfect getaway My husband and I stayed at Song of the Sea for 2 nights/3 days. I picked this place primarily because of location and the floors were not carpeted (my preference). We were pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness and ample size of the room. We reserved a partial ocean view in the 2nd floor which didn’t afford you much of the ocean view but given the time of year it was too hot to sit in the screened in balcony anyway. Here are some pros and cons. Cons- The property is dated with 2 floors with the upper floors providing the most privacy. The kitchenette is small but they do provide a full size refrigerator. However the funky little coffee maker in the room only takes their pre-packed coffee pods and not good. The pool is small with a few number of chairs that we noticed were taken early on. While they tell you there is a beach chair attendant for the beach chairs we never saw one and it was on a first come first serve basis. Lastly, the bed pillows were small. Upon departure we recommended they provide normal size pillows. Pros- the property was quiet, well maintained and clean. Breakfast is continental with plenty of items to choose from; cereal, bagels, muffins, waffles, hard boiled eggs, fruit etc. and the attendants were very nice, and made sure everything was right. The sitting area was outside on a lovely patio. There are complimentary bikes and helmets, kayaks and paddle boards to use. They have a larger sister property right next door you could use which looked newer but was busier and noisier with a larger pool and bar so depending on what you like you could choose either. Based on the resort offerings we would recommend. Dinners- the first night we went to Doc Ford’s Rum Bar in Sanibel, very casual. Recommend you go early (6 ish) because after that the waiting was crazy. It’s a good place for burgers, sandwiches etc. The highlight of our dinner was the grilled oyster appetizer that was great everything else was average. 2nd night we went to Mad Hatter, phenomenal! It’s adjacent to the ocean and you could see the sunset from there. The atmosphere is eclectic with the host wearing the most outrageous “Alice in Wonderland” fitting suit, but the service was exceptional. For appetizers we had a shrimp wrapped in philo dough and the Mad hatter salad, both very good but the entrees were the stars, black grouper over mashed potatoes and I had the triple tale fish over risotto. Both excellent! Fine dining! Location was good!
