Shalimar Cottages And Motel

“Short visit .. Will be longer next time”

We stayed only one night, but there will definitely be more in the future. The property was new and very well kept. The staff were polite and easy to approach, and definitely made us feel welcome.

We stayed only one night, but there will definitely be more in the future. The property was new and very well kept. The staff were polite and easy to approach, and definitely made us feel welcome. The easy short-walk proximity to the beach, to the pool, as well as short drives to restaurants and stores were great. The studio-style room was large, clean, had a very comfortable large bed, full-size oven and refrigerator, as well as a HUGE TV, a couch, table, and a screened balcony. The bathroom and walk-in shower was well-sized and had very soft towels provided. Parking was great as the spots were under the building. We were extremely impressed, and if we hadn't made plans with friends on FMB, we would've easily spent a week here. In short, The Shalimar is OUTSTANDING.

“Wonderful experience”

What a lovely hotel. My room, in the Seahorse building, was lovely and spacious although I didn't spend much time in it because the screened porch was so comfortable.

What a lovely hotel. My room, in the Seahorse building, was lovely and spacious although I didn't spend much time in it because the screened porch was so comfortable. It was a great place to watch the sun set, the moon rise and the water lap the shore. The facilities were just what I needed: a peaceful pool, with chairs in and around it, and chairs light enough to move around on the beach. The hotel is designed with many thoughtful touches, such as hooks on the porch to allow swimsuits to dry, convenient placement of light switches and dual shower heads.

We had a fabulous first- time experience at this beautiful resort! The manager, owner and office staff were so kind and accommodating and treated you like family. Their saltwater pool was divine, and we swam there daily. It was very convenient being able to go to the office and pick up needed supplies, change of towels, etc. Our one-bedroom villa was well stocked with everything you could think of, including a clothes steamer. We rented a beach umbrella and loungers, and fresh pool towels were available daily. We only encountered no-see-ums a handful of times at dusk when the wind died down. The wrist band waterproof bracelet was very convenient. The entire resort was very quiet and relaxing. We had many wonderful dining experiences, including Timbers (twice) Doc Fords, newly opened Bubble Room, Tuti-Pazzi and Mudbugs (both with excellent music) Dantes and Cielo. Highly recommend Captiva Cruises (Cabbage Key lunch cruise). The beautiful boat ride alone was worth the price of admission watching the dolphins swim alongside. With each passing year post Hurricane Ian, it is remarkable to see how much this beautiful island has bounced back.

“New, modern beach front resort”

We had a wonderful stay at Shalimar Beach Resort on Sanibel Island. We stayed in Room 108 (2 queen beds with full kitchen) as a family of 3 (2 adults and 1 teenager), and it was a great fit for us. The property feels brand new with a clean, modern design. Our unit was spotless, and the beds were v… Mehr

We had a wonderful stay at Shalimar Beach Resort on Sanibel Island. We stayed in Room 108 (2 queen beds with full kitchen) as a family of 3 (2 adults and 1 teenager), and it was a great fit for us. The property feels brand new with a clean, modern design. Our unit was spotless, and the beds were very comfortable. Even though we were on the back side of the property, we still had a nice ocean view and could hear the waves from our large screened-in patio. Highlights: • Heated pool with beautiful ocean views and plenty of chairs • Beach access with miles of walking and tons of shells • Walking and bike paths nearby • Free washer and dryer access (bring your own detergent or purchase on site) • Ice machine available • Wristband-style room keys (much more convenient than key cards) • Bathroom located next to the pool area Things to be aware of: • There are stairs to reach the office and rooms (there is a small elevator available) • Parking is somewhat limited. We always found a space but not always directly by our unit. • No daily housekeeping. Towels must be exchanged at the office. This didn’t bother us, but you do need to carry them back and forth. Overall, we found Shalimar Beach Resort to be clean, peaceful, and beautifully done. We would definitely stay here again.
