Sundial Beach Resort

Frommer's Review

The largest resort on Sanibel, this condominium complex lacks intimacy, but it has lots to keep families occupied (even jogging strollers are provided so you don't have to schlep your own), from a palm-studded, beachside pool area to a free marine-biology program and a small ecology center with touch tank. The one-, two-, and three-bedroom condominiums are housed in two- and three-story buildings (as high as they get on Sanibel) and have screened balconies overlooking the beach or landscaped gardens. Rooms have gone from pleasantly decorated in a Golden Girls kind of way to a more tropical, modern vibe. Guests have access to the nearby Dunes Championship Golf Course.

Among several dining options here, overlooking the pool and the Gulf, the relaxing Beaches Grill & Bar is popular at sunset and has nightly entertainment. Off site is Ellington's Jazz Bar and Restaurant, serving steaks, seafood, pasta, and Sunday brunch.

Facilities:4 restaurants; 2 bars; 5 heated outdoor pools; 12 tennis courts; exercise room; Jacuzzi; watersports equipment rental; bike rental; children's programs; game room; concierge; activities desk; business center; limited room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; coin-op washers and dryers
