Concierge.com's insider take:

We'd venture to say that this is the only resort in the world that shows outdoor movies to guests who munch on popcorn while floating on inner tubes in the pool. There's no shortage of fun at this luxury resort, which overlooks Sanibel Island from the spot where the Caloosahatchee River meets the Gulf of Mexico. Not only is there a wide choice of accommodation (240 rooms and suites, 107 VIP residences, plus 38 two-bedroom, 1,400-square-foot waterfront condos with full kitchens, living rooms, and screened lanais overlooking the bay) but there are so many restaurants that you can dine in a different one almost every day for a week. There are six options, including the Palm Court Bakery for on-the-run muffins, pastries, coffee, and gelato; Tarpon House, a seafood restaurant that's family-friendly; Courtside Steakhouse; and the Banyan Room, a formal restaurant with plantation-style-library ambience.
