Very nice accommodations right at the beach. Clean and very friendly staff. Free bottle of wine and fresh flowers in room. Quiet and relaxing.

I've been to this hotel a couple of times and they've never disappointed. The rooms are great - equipped with a kitchen that includes fridge, microwave, stove, pots, pans, glasses, etc. Super helpful, if you have kids or you go on a fishing trip and want to cook up your catch of the day! The screened in porch was great... More

Beach front room was $251 (AAA rate), overpriced I thought, for what it turned out to be.. It wasn't exactly "beach front", more like "ocean view." The tiny bedroom had almost wall to wall king sized bed. There was only about a foot between the foot of the bed and the wall. However, the mattress was comfortable. Furniture in "living... More

This was our second stay at Song of the Sea. They gave us a free bottle of wine that was waiting in our room at check in, so a nice touch. The continental breakfast is pretty good: make your own waffles, pastries, toast, bagels, hard boiled eggs, fresh fruit, yogurt. We ate it everyday. The pool and hot tub were... More

Room was well appointed with fridge and small sink. We had ocean view room, that was set back enough to be not right on beach but enclosed patio opened to small grassy area with walkway to beach, steps away. I think this was a good pick for a couple get away, since the condos and bigger hotels seem to cater... More

Rooms have a screen porch, small kitchenette with full refrigerator, microwave, small 4 burner stove and small sink. Lovely handmade Spanish floor tiles, wicker and upholstered chairs, brand new LG 42” HDTV with full cable. There is... More

If you like small hotels right on the beach, this is for you. Song of the Sea is one of several properties run by the same company. I stayed here 30 years ago when it had a more Ma and Pa look. Now it is updated, and rooms appointed nicely. Bathrooms although updated are very small. Our view from the... More

We were able to use the pool bar, pool, and bicycles at the Sanibel Inn next door.The bikes were not in great shape- the ones next door at Sanibel Inn were in better shape. They also have bicycle helmets available. We didn't use them but there are also tennis courts. We would wake up in the morning and have a... More
