Sanibel Vacation Planning, Value Hotels vs Beach Front

You get big value for your dollar, as the Holiday Inn in Sanibel Island is loaded with all sorts of water sports activities and beachside fun. The hotel's location near the center of Sanibel is perfect, and is convenient to shopping, dining, the bike path, and Captiva. The service was great, grounds perfectly groomed, and the rooms have a nice island style decor. We just loved staying at this Inn, with tons of sun-drenching play, which makes for a perfect family beach vacation.

	This is the most tropically themed Holiday Inn that we have seen, perfect for a Sanibel Island beach setting.
	What a beautiful place to hop on a sailboat and cruise swiftly around the island, all at the speed of the wind.
	Between the rear of the pool area and the beach is a nice and shady grassy oasis. This is where kids play and parents unwind, all with a great view of the water.
	The poolside bar was a great place to relax at the end of the day, and sip on a yummy frozen cocktail.
	Beachside ping-pong was a huge hit with all of the children.
	The hotel has a wonderful pool, which was perfect to jump in after our long afternoon walks down the beach.
	The number one activity in Sanibel is enjoying the beaches. The building you may notice in the background are that of Ft. Myers Beach.
	Be sure to bring your bikes, if not you can rent them, as that is by far the best way to get around Island.
	If you can find someone to push you high enough, you can turn a hammock into a ride-at-the-fair!
	This white sandy trail is your quick access path the beach.
