Sundial Beach Resort & Spa

“Vacay beach shells fishing football!!! Priority is opposite order.”

Went with two families. Rented two of the grande three bedroom partial gulf view. Rooms were very big and Very CLEAN. We could have fit 8 of us in the one three bedroom condo.

Went with two families. Rented two of the grande three bedroom partial gulf view. Rooms were very big and Very CLEAN. We could have fit 8 of us in the one three bedroom condo. Full kitchen beach was less than a 100 yards or a sand wedge away. Shell hunting is fun…never seen so many shells in my life. Definitely a special place. Small waves but out kids still loved it and stayed in water all day. Bring a ball/football to toss. Kids ages 14,13,12,11.

“Absolutely AMAZING!”

My ONLY complaint was that our bed was not too comfortable. But we are pretty picky about that. Everything else is simply outstanding! Above and beyond! We really loved our visit here and will definitely be back for a family trip!

“September Getaway”

Lovely location on the Gulf. Beautifully kept grounds. Pleasant activities available. Easy access to restaurants and Island amenities.

We purchased the Sundial's Daycation offer. This is a one day pass to the resort, which is right on the beach, use of their pool, plus $60 voucher for food/drink at their outdoor restaurant. Sanibel Island was hit directly by Hurricane Ian two years ago. There was significant damage to many properties. A lot has been restored. There is still evidence of hurricane damage, but there are many absolutely beautiful areas as well - like Sundial. We headed to the beach first, which is right on the property. We had the use of lounge chairs and beach umbrella which the staff happily set up for us. The beach is gorgeous. It was a stunning, warm, sunny day when we visited. The water was calm, lots of shells along the beach, few people. Just beautiful. After a couple of hours, we headed back to the resort Tiki Bar/restaurant. We ordered a mango daiquiri, chicken wrap, chicken sandwich, couscous sides and soda for our $60 voucher. All was delicious. The daiquiri was strong, the food was nice sized portions, all served promptly. Next was a dip in the pool. Well, it is a huge, beautiful pool but the temperature was probably close to 100 degrees. I'm not sure what was going on, nor why the temperature would be that hot. Sadly, you couldn't swim in it. Those that did venture into the water basically walked in for a few minutes and got out. It was hot tub warm. With air temperature in the 80s, the pool was too warm to enjoy. Bummer. The gulf was too cold to swim in and the pool too warm. But we still enjoyed lounging poolside. We went back out to the beach a while later to do some shelling. We sat down about 4:00 and that's when the no-see-ums hit. OMG! No-see-ums are tiny gnat like bugs that bite. They love human blood. Later were learned that Sanibel has had a HUGE no-see-um infestation. We had to leave the beach. We jumped in the pool just to get away from the bugs, but they were relentless, even poolside. We had to leave the resort and get inside. We got literally 100s of tiny bites. The severe itching started several hours later (trip to Walgreens for anti-itch cream, and antihistamine was only mildly helpful). Of course, the no-see-ums are not the resorts fault, but we do wish we knew before we got bit. Maybe offering bug repellent or some warning would have been appreciated. Bottom line, the resort has done a wonderful job rebuilding after the hurricane. The main building is great, the pool would be great if it were not so warm, the beach is amazing, the property is lovely. The daycation is a good tool to get folks to come to the resort. The condos on the property are still be rebuilt. But those bugs were awful. My feelings are mixed - parts of our day were amazing, and parts were not so good.
