Swimming with the Manatees was the highlight of my trip. They just decided to swim up to shallow water right in front of the Sandpiper. Once in a lifetime opportunity. I have stayed at The Sandpiper Gulf Resort five times.I have stayed here alone and with my family. I have rented condos at various location in Fort Myers Beach, but... More

The beach is beautiful...wide sandy places, lots of live shells to look at and explore in the water. Beach was not crowded at all. Very clean accommodations as well as the surrounding property. We looked at several places on Ft. Myers Beach and after visiting "Times Square" I'm glad we chose the Sandpiper. If you like a "spring break" feel,... More

This was a great hotel/condo for our first trip to FMB. The location was great and visiting the end of April/beginning of May is a perfect time to go. Upon check in we went to our room and it was not what I had requested after checking with the desk they were great about giving me an ocean front room... More

This was my sixth (seventh?) stay here, and this is my second review of it. One of the high points of my extended family's year is going to FMB and staying at the Sandpiper, where some of the group's members have been visiting since 1998. I find myself spending the Iowa winters counting down the months until we visit, usually... More

We loved our beach front condo and had a great time at the Sandpiper. Lots of privacy there, and it is not crowded. The heater in the pool was broke so it was a little cool to swim in it. We spent most of the time at the ocean, taking in the views. I would prefer bigger coffee pots in... More

This little beachfront resort is perfect for a quiet beach vacation. You are just a few steps away from the beach. It is the perfect place to enjoy the Gulf, swim in the pool and see gorgeous sunsets. This is my third stay at the Sandpiper. Other stays were in 2010. Hotel: The room sleeps 6, using the pullout couch.... More

Stayed here with wife & kids for spring break 2012. Sandpiper was an excellent value on the beach - a few amenities: shuffleboard, 2 small pools. Room was good sized with 2 double beds, pull out sofa and kitchenette. Having Publix right down the street was a great bonus - able to pick up breakfast and lunch food so we... More

Sandpiper has everything--family pool, adult pool, right on beach, kitchenette in room, beautiful landscaping, etc. The courtyard with the family pool is the most beautiful oasis on Ft Myers Beach. The parking lot is outside the courtyard, so your car is close by, but out of sight (out of mind). Our room was poolside, first floor, so we could come... More

Our room was nicely decorated and the staff was always helpful and cordial. The Publix is just down the street, so we were able to stock up on a few basics and use the kitchenette for breakfasts and lunches. Loved the lobby's coffee bar! We filled our mugs at least once each morning and took them back to enjoy on... More
