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...

Our family has made the Shalimar our home away from home over the last eight years. It is quiet with great beaches, fishing and a staff that is second to none. We have stayed in the hotel, cottages and apartment. It is clean friendly and close to restaurants, shopping and leisure activities. We will continue to reserve at the Shalimar... More

My wife and I were looking for a quiet 5 day getaway on Sanibel Island, Florida and thought that we found the perfect place in the Shalimar. At first glance the place is charming and with both cottages and motel-style rooms facing the ocean we were impressed with the outwardly appearance. To be honest we would have rated this place...

The Shalimar motel was nice and clean with an excellent view of the ocean. The staff was friendly and helpful and it was a nice quiet atmosphere. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to get away from the crowds and hectic everyday life. Will definitely be coming back!!!

Shalimar is a small cottage-style resort sitting right on the Gulf of Mexico. We have stayed in both the gulf-front cottage (I believe it was #5) and one of the gulf view rooms in the "motel" section. Both were very pleasant and had porches that looked directly at the ocean. The facility is fairly old, and kitchenettes were tiny, but... More
