Sundial Beach Resort & Spa

"Omg this was the most breathtakingly beautiful beach i have ever had the good fortune to experience! My close friend decided to take me to this resort on my very first trip to Sanibel five days ago..Sat. Lucky for us there were only handful of people that came to the resort that day due to a bad storm the previous week ..and the fact that the resort had just recently opened back up..so i am guessing not too many people were aware. Anyway, we spent most of the day down by tbe ocean..or in it..the only suggestion i would make is how tacky it was that the manager practically ran after my friend because she thought she was bringing drinks into the resort..well she eas ! …i mean you are basking in the hot sun by the ocean and cant even bring bottled water in?! No worries…we eventually came up from tbe ocean and spent some time at the cozy tiki bar!"

"I was married here just a week before Hurricane Ian (September 17). I hold this resort near and dear to my heart. The entire planning process was a breeze having Francesca along side me, who is just an absolute sweetheart, and someone I can call a friend. I got to work with Hannah, who was very pleasant to work with on the day of, and was very accomidating. The entire staff here was incredible and both my wife and my family had an outstanding time. The pool was fabulous, the drinks were delicious and the entire place was magical. I know when the resort reopens, it'll be even better than it was before, and we can not wait to come back!"

"Overall we really loved this place. Check-in was easy, the main lobby was very pretty and maintained. The staff was very friendly. Only downside was they do not have luggage carts. Our room was beautiful and very clean. We didn’t realize that it was a fully stocked room with a full kitchen including pots and pans and everything. The view from our large lanai was wonderful, and we could see the ocean and everything that we wanted. There was always plenty of parking. The other resort tenants were never obnoxiously loud or anything. The best part in our opinion was all of the amenities that came with the resort fee that you typically don’t see included. Aside from the usual things like pool access and beach access with chairs and brothers, it also came with free access to all of their bikes, and they even had tow wagons that you could put your kids in behind the bicycle. They included stand up paddle boards and kayaks and pretty much anything else that you would want. The restaurants there are pretty good, but like everywhere else they were understaffed because people these days don’t want to work. And if you want to eat at the Japanese Teppanyaki you need to put in reservation very early because of how understaffed they are. We unfortunately didn’t get to eat there like we wanted but it turned out OK because there are lots of great restaurants locally. Overall we absolutely recommend this place and we will likely stay here again in the future."

"This is a very different type of resort. Some things they do very well, and some need improvement. The front desk is awesome and very accommodating. Rooms are all individually owned (it's a condo) so each room is decorated differently. Our room overall was nice, but the ceiling fan was unacceptably wobbly and noisy, and the towel rack fell off the wall. The elevators were tiny and cramped, and there was no cart to move your luggage. Glad we had one in the car. Didn't even see a bell man available. The beach and pool facilities were really nice, and they have many organized, fun activities. Just consider all these things if you plan to stay here."

"We stayed at Sundial in Sept. 2021 for our anniversary and overall we had a wonderful experience! Pros: The staff were welcoming, friendly and very helpful. Their pool and hot tub were wonderful, the free chairs and beach umbrella were fantastic, and the poolside restaurant was delicious. The room was modern with all of the amenities we hoped for, and even the shampoo and conditioner from their spa was fantastic. We got daily texts of activities happening at the resort and loved being able to walk to everything we could possibly need. As this was our anniversary trip, the staff even greeted us with a bottle of champagne. Cons: The only con was that our bathroom wasn't very clean upon arrival and our sheets were extremely sandy and didn't appear to have been washed between guests. However, as soon as I called the front desk, they sent someone up with new sheets to remake our bed."
