We were ready for a few days in Sanibel after being in disney (our wallets were relieved too) The hotel was clean and comfortable and right there on the gulf of mexico. Not the best beaches in the world, nothing like the Caribbean beaches but a great place to relax, a nice bar by the pool for a cocktail and... more

We have stayed at West Wind Inn multiple times over the last decade. It consistently delivers high value. Immaculately clean, friendly efficient service, nice accomodations. Each time we go they have added new features or some major upkeep so that it is always fresh and pleasant. The location truly is paradise. We love West Wind! more

I was looking for a great view of the beach and a quiet place to stay. I was thrilled with West Wind. It was clean and quiet with a great view. The front staff was great and helped me with many questions. Added bonus of being near the Darling Refuge. I will return! more

I don't normally write reviews unless they are really bad or really good. I am anxious to write this review because it exceeded any and all expectations. Our room was newly renovated and was spottles with a neat kichenette. The view from our screened in balcony of the ocean gave us the most beautiful sunset every evening. The heated pool... more

The West Wind makes you feel like your in Aruba. It is the only hotel directly on the beach with tiki bar, restaurant, for the best prices ever! ( unless you want to stay at the only coporate run hotel on the island and it costs more and it touristy ! Yuck ! ) Everyone, exspecially the rest staff is... more

The good news is that the grounds are gorgeous. The bad news is that the rooms are not updated at all. There was mold in the bathroom. Trash in the breezeway. Very disappointed. more

We have stayed at several locations on the west coast and none have been as good as the West Wind Inn. The facillities were good, a good pool deck and plenty of shading umbrellas. The guest laundry, Normandie Cafe with excellent Breakfast and Lunch service (and dinner from November to March), bicycle rental and pool bar were all very reasonably... more

We stayed in a Gulf-front kitchenette unit and the place was spacious and had a great screened porch with a view. The kitchen was really well equipped with everything that one would need to actually cook and eat. The bathroom was on the small side but with plenty of storage space and enough towels and toiletries. The place is a... more

First trip to Sanibel area and was very pleased overall with the hotel. The west wind inn is more like a motel/hotel set up. We had first floor rooms near the washing machine area which was a little bit of an eyesore and noise problem early morning. We had 3 rooms with 5 kids so we were up early anyways.... more
