The weekend of 9-11 I was with my husband at South os Sea in Captiva. The resort was old and neglected. The elevator needed cleaning and remodeling. On the other hand, my husband paid $400 for the 2 nights; Upon check-in, they demanded us to pay $25 each and a day for having the right to walk around the facilities. I thought it was exaggerated, since to have the activities you had to pay separately. They also took our credit card $200 as a deposit in case something got damaged, that was fine, all hotels do. But on Sunday the 11th when we checked out at 10 am, they withheld $25 more for each of us, a total of $150 for the bracelets, it seemed like an abuse to me, they are thieves in that sense. There was live music on Friday the 9th for 2 hours, but by Saturday there was no music. The weekend was very bad, rains and storms, we couldn't even enjoy the beach, I know that escapes the hotel administration, it was totally the weather. Very disappointed in the resort and its facilities. I honestly don't recommend it

What is advantage to room near ocean is it far from main building

Maddy Stare | Sep 30, 2018
Debbie Haney | Sep 30, 2018

We just stayed in a Beach villa which meant that we overlooked the beach / ocean. That was perfect for me but that being said, there's something for everyone. My Beach villa was right by the entrance to the property and therefore very accessible to restaurants and on the island but off the property things. We would take the tram or drive to the other end of the property, the north side, where the marina, Sunset Beach and the very beautiful pool complex is.

what effect will hurricane ian have on the resort, will it be closed for a few years?

Benjamin Olsen | Sep 28, 2022
Stavros .N | Sep 28, 2022

So the far what we know is that the bridge reaching from Fort Myers to Sanibel island , and hence captiva, has been destroyed by the flooding and storm surge. As rescuers reach the island by boat, we will know more. Expect a lot of damage though, we have seen so much damage in Fort Myers, where streets have damaged bavement and houses leveled. McGregor Rd reaching to sanibel island looks really bad

My family and I are staying mid December in a Marina View Room. Would a Beach villa be a better choice? We have a 7 year old who loves the beach. Thanks

Jesse K | Sep 30, 2019
Brian Davis | Sep 30, 2019

I think the beach villa would be a better choice.

We have a disabled son who can walk with a stick and a few steps without a stick but stairs are a problem.If we made a reservation it would need to be guaranteed ground/1st floor, we have stayed twice in your beech cottages .which was fine. Womby

Frank Womby | Sep 30, 2019
Donna spriggs | Sep 30, 2019

Hi Frank,. We stayed by the harbour. There was an elevator there for your use. Im not sure about the other properties. Im sure that if you explain your situation, they will more than graciously accommodate your family. I hope this helps! Have a wonderful trip!
