We loved this place. Wanted to stay in a cottage, but they were all booked, so we stayed in the motel part. Couldn't get closer to the water if you pitched a tent in the sand. Manager was very helpful as we arrived on Thanksgiving Day. Gave us his cell # so we could check in even though the office... More

I went with my four closest friends for a weekend getaway to Sanibel Island and stayed at Shalimar. We chose Shalimar because another friend recommended it two years ago. We went at the end of October then and decided to go back again this year at the same time. This year we stayed in the motel part of the resort,... More

We planned a trip to Sanibel Florida not knowing wher to stay, after reviewing lots of places to stay we chose Shalimar. It was just my husband and I so we wanted a quiet place. A place to lay our heads ,and do some light cooking to save a little money.The cottage was very clean and well stocked with all... More

Spectacular views. The bathroom has mold and it was dirty with hair and black footprints in the bath tub. The wood frame doors were black from dirt. Great room design. Kitchenette and cute. Area was too buggy. No welcome package and the door can be unlocked with ANY KEY! No key for the deadbolt. We are Floridians staying in many... More

Not too fancy, but the clients comfort was thought of and little touches like clothes lines and video lending make for a very comfortable stay. The bed linens could really use updating. Avoid the main floor in motel as it is loud when people walk on the 2nd floor More

My family and I stayed at the Shalimar in July. We stayed in the hotel instead of the cottages. The room we got was room 11 upstairs room. The room was clean and the view was awesome. Our room had a perfect view wof the beach and gulf. The staff was so friendly and helpful. We would recommend this hotel... More

We always get treated like family. And there is no other motel right in the sand at such a GREAT price. And if you not real high maintenance type of people you will love it too. A small kitchen, stove, fridge, microwave, porch, cable TV and just plain nice. We have been going here for seven years at least 3... More
