Top Gulf Shores Hotel Reviews

Marriott Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were amazing during our stay and it had beautiful view of the bay. Definitely a great stay!!"

DiamondHead Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"When we came in Michael, let us know that we were upgraded. The room was great! We had a view of the sunset as well as the beach. Pro tip, the 09 stack of rooms seems to be the best arrangement of rooms. The bartender at Cabanas was great, and the band that was playing on Sunday was excellent. We did not realize it would be a mini kitchen, and if we were staying longer, we would've appreciated that. We were overall very pleased with this day. If we were to come back to Fort Myers Beach in the future, we would definitely look at this place again."

Sundial Beach Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and quiet. I did not realize how expansive the property is. I was quite a long walk from the main pool and where you get beach chairs and umbrellas. Beach access was close, but to use showers you had to walk 100 yards or more by the west end pool. Food was delicious at tiki bar. Drinks were delicious but very pricey. Lots of food options and activities at the main pool all day. Chairs were comfortable everywhere and very clean facilities. It was a short notice reservation so I couldn't get a room closer to things. But they were always available for a ride in the golf cart whenever I needed. Staff was very kind everywhere!"

Hampton Inn & Suites Fort Myers Beach/Sanibel Gateway

10/10 Excellent

"Great location to pop on over to Doc Ford’s, Ft Meyers Beach and even Walmart’s. Great desk staff, thank you Liza and Jeff. We decided to stay an extra night. Breakfast was the best in three hotel chains over 8 nights on the road. "

Candlewood Suites Fort Myers Sanibel Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This is an extended stay property and I was only staying 2 nights. I picked it for the location, so didn’t cook or need the fridge. The room was very clean, plenty of towels, etc, and the staff was very nice. I will definitely stay again if going to that area."
