Tween Waters Island Resort & Spa

Before booking ask if it is one of the remodeled rooms. Our room had rust on all the door frames and the beds were pieced together. Very odd smell in the room and when reported to staff, they did not seem concerned. When visiting Sanibel/Captiva find another location……..

This is our fourth stay at this resort. This is a beach front Old Florida motel style resort, that has kept the island’s laid back vibe and amenities despite been beaten hard for the latest tropical storms and hurricanes. Captiva -Sanibel is one of the best beaches in USA. Originally conceived as a bunch of beach front cottages in addition has several two story buildings with cozy rooms, all with balconies facing either the gulf, the bay or the pool. There are some restaurants including the iconic historic Old Captiva House, currently under renovation, snack bar and coffee place place by the pool. There is a nice pool with plenty of chairs, umbrellas and warm towels, and an adjacent serenity no children pool. The resort has Spa, gym and tennis courts. You can rent kayaks and bicycles. There is a full service marina at the property where you can rent boats for fishing or pleasure trips. You can rent umbrellas and chairs by the beach. $25 for an umbrella and two chairs. Our room was super clean, with coffee maker, mini fridge and bathroom a little bit dated but very clean, plenty of towels and toiletries, just what we needed. Cons: sand and gravel roads trough out the resort and parking spaces, while keeping the beach feeling can be muddy and messy when heavy rains, as it happen during our stay and our car was in a flooded area. No elevators in the buildings, is ok for me but could be a deterrent for older or disabled guests, however there is the option of renting a cottage. And the mattress in the room are a too firm. Nevertheless, none of that prevented us of having a great time. This is the third time staying in the beach front block, and the view of the magnificent gulf sunset from our balcony sipping our favorite drink is priceless. Will definitely keep coming.

Rented a boat and fishing equipment Could not have been happier with the experience. Everyone we encountered was more than nice/friendly. Cindy is the gift shop is truly a treasure. In the boat rental side the team hustles to make sure you do not have to lift a finger. Directions on navigation, lunch spots, where to see manatees were all spot on. Love the way they talked to you and gave directions without being overbearing or condescending. Just hit the perfect note all around. Would definitelyreccomend!

Both beach and pool are just steps away from the room. Room was super nice. The outside of the building could need some TLC. A shower near the building to wash off sand from the beach would be helpful.

Site of a family wedding. Property appeared fully recovered from the last hurricane. All was in order, well run, would return in the future.
