coming here 15+years. Peaceful, any minor hiccups always appropriately dealt with by Ramos and/or front desk staff. Immaculate, well-maintained & improved (we speculate annually about what will be improved). On-site laundry a boon, it's fun doing a wash while sitting in the sun in Nov/Dec. Non-smoking a great improvement. Only quibble is that we'd like the pool a bit warmer... More

This is by far one of the cleanest hotel's we've ever stayed at. We loved the view from the second floor. Honestly, we spent all our time on the beach and never used the pool, altho it looked nice. The office staff was very pleasant. Loved being able to use their computer to print my boarding passes. They had morning... More

We enjoyed our stay very much. I think your prices are equal to other similar type places in Sanibel but think the service could be better in the way of amenities. Having a coffee maker to make your own coffee in the room would be nice. By the time I got to the coffee in the office at 10 am... More

Great motel. Huge rooms with efficiency kitchen amenities. Beautiful view from screened porch & right on the beach! They also give you a discount at the wonderful Sandbar resteraunt which is right next store. Rooms are spotless and staff is excellent. Can't wait to return!

The beauty of Tripadvisor is seeing everyone's different perspectives of the exact same place. I stayed at the Shalimar during the "frat boys and sorority girls" week one of the reviewers referred to, in fact, I just may have been one of those sorority girls!! To be fair, yes, there was a night we came home late and were upon... More

My husband and I have stayed at the Shalimar for the past 5 years. We LOVE the Atmosphere at this small, wonderful resort. You can't beat the motel rooms for Ocean Views and quick access to the beach. The rooms are clean and well equipped with small kitchenettes. We simply stop at the grocery store before check-in and pick up... More

My husband and I stayed there last month during the 5 days when the group of over aged frat boys and sorority girls were partying. I appreciate the owners response to my husband's review and yes we should of complained to the owner directly. However, someone else must have because suddenly (each night) they stopped, slammed their doors, and there... More

Relax, relax, relax, this place is perfect. Quiet and beautiful but with all comfort you need. BBQ, canoe, bikes, and pool everything you need. Restaurant and supermarket not too far away. Enjoy your stay.

We have stayed at the Shalimar many times at various times of the year in different types of rooms. It really has an "Old Florida" feel. Adirondack chairs on the beach, screened porches on all rooms, and a very relaxing feel. Nice pool, very clean rooms, kayak and bike rentals on site. Would highly recommend this resort to all of...
