We had another great weekend at the West Wind Inn. While the room decor is a little dated it is always a clean and well cared for property. Love the large pool with the pool bar for drinks and the on-site cafe makes it so easy to eat breakfast and lunch without having to leave the beach to go to... More

For quiet and relaxation, this the place the rooms are nice, appear to be updated. But we spent most our time outside. The pool. Is large enough for families and heated. The poolside pub is very inviting. Snack and drink at umbrella shaded tables. It's the beach though. Excellent shelling, uncrossed - although saw crowds elsewhere on the island beaches.... More

Clean,friendly,warm welcome,room is small, yet more than adequate. Amenities are complete for a quiet beach/pool vacation. Pool bar pleasant, resturant intimate, food good. Reasonably priced. We re locals, we will get away at the West Wind again for sure. There are fancier places, more expensive places, but can't imagine better places.

While small, the room was very very clean. The bathroom was recently renovated and nice, but small. We enjoyed the beautiful view of the pool and the gulf from our lanai. The people at the front desk were very nice. The process for renting bikes and beach umbrellas and chairs was very easy. The pool bar was great and the... More

We loved our stay at WW Inn. Our room faced the gulf and the screened in porch was wonderful. The kitchenette was great, we used it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Especially helpful b/c the food on the island has been so disappointing. The cleaning service did a beautiful job every day. Only complaint, very weak toilet! The pool is... More

This is my tenth year visiting Sanibel and have always stayed at West Wind Inn. The main reason to stay is its proximity to the beach. In my experience, the rooms have been clean and the breakfasts been good. However, this past week something has changed. The cleanliness of my room was not what I would expect...specifically, I thought the... More

This hotel was a wonderful place to stay, yet too low-key to even call a "hotel"! We had a beautiful ocean view room with a king-size bed, screened porch, kitchenette, flat screen T.V., full-size refridgerator, and a charming little bathroom with great lighting!!! The front desk staff was very friendly, and housekeeping was on top of things! The only complaints... More

This was our 3rd visit to the West Wind Inn and we were very disappointed this time. Our room was clean the prior visits but this time the bathroom was unacceptable. We arrived very late due to bad weather and my husband had to actually clean the toilet before we could use it even though it had a sanitized strip... More

Not that I was having a honeymoon, but it sure felt that way, the arrival was amazing. I mentioned my first name of the reservation and they knew exactly who I was and for how long I was staying. I was provided with a map of the hotel, the area where we were going to stay and where we should... More
