I love Sanibel Island, this last visit was my 11th in 28 years. It also happens to be my 8th at The Colony Resort. Ever since a friend recommended this wonderful place to me, I haven't stayed anywhere else on the island & I keep recommending it to others. Great prices, clean, pretty, comfy condos, friendly staff, great location on... More

Cute little cottage/condo area. Nice location to beach and strip of restaurants and shops. Very beachy feel - pool is small but kids didn't mind. Several families cooked out at grills and used the picnic tables to eat. The walk to the beach is quick and nice. The condos kitchen was weel equipped tiny and had lots of those "no... More

If you've never been to Sanibel Island you are missing one of the most beautiful and romantic spots on the Gulf of Mexico. With its spectacular beaches, fabulous fishing, a world-class wildlife refuge, and one of the best shelling beaches in the world, Sanibel is a four-star resort island just a short drive from Ft. Myers, Florida. We have stayed... More

We've stayed here several times and are always very happy with whatever condo unit we stay in. The kitchenette is well equipped; the porch is a bonus and very private; the bed and bath are clean and comfortable. We love the location, steps from the Gulf and a short walk to the Bay and to shops and restaurants.

Very clean upon arrival and everything you need like the comforts of home. Clean towels are provided for you on a daily basis. The pool was nice, although not a lot of seating... More

I booked one night during high season at this resort and was pleasantly surprised! I expected the worst, especially in light of the reasonable rate and that they had availability but lo and behold it was excellent! The room was HUGE! It had three rooms plus a lanai!!! We were right adjacent to the pool and to get to the... More

We stayed at the Colony Resort for Spring Break. Loved the condo! Nice decor. A great king sized bed and sleeper sofa. Plenty of storage with two closets in the bedroom and one additional closet in the living room where the sleeper sofa is. The condo met all of our needs and had beach chairs for our use. The office... More

Stayed in unit C-43 for 5 nights. It was a great find. An easy walk to the beach and the pool is never crowded...there is plenty of seating around the pool and even an upstairs deck for sunning. The condos are older but are very well maintained. The bedroom has 2 beds and there are 2 couches...one is a sleeper.... More

What a lovely resort! We had a wonderful stay and already look forward to our next trip. The management staff was so friendly and made us feel very welcome.

We chose Colony Resort based on reviews and the fact that it was available on a nightly basis- most condos in the area require a 3-4 night minimum stay. The staff was phenomenal! So friendly and helpful; they really went out the extra mile. Stayed in c-20, decorated cute with some updating. It's a huge hotel room or a very... More
