This was our first trip to Sanibel. Not knowing what to expect from our trip, it was only adults. We will be returning and taking the children with us next summer. The beach was perfect. It was clean, easy to maneuver with our belongings (as in it was packed and easy to get around on, not loose sand that you sink into). It's a very relaxed environment, there were no touristy spots. We generally stay in the Panama City Beach area, which is very busy. Sanibel is nothing like that! There is a true island feel. Our room at Sanibel Siesta was very clean. The beds were comfortable! Lots of extra pillows and blankets included in the closets. We loved that the room had everything we needed for the beach, chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, boogie boards, noodles, all of it. We cannot wait to return next summer!
