8.6/10

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spotlessly clean, and the housekeeping staff was exceptionally kind. The screened-in patios were a lovely touch, but unfortunately, the pool bar's drinks weren't always up to par. The misinformation about happy hour from the office staff was a bit of a letdown.

Rooms

The rooms were clean and housekeeping was very nice. The soundproofing was excellent, and the screened-in patios added a nice touch.

The beach right outside the room was a dream, and the restaurant served excellent food. The hotel's location on Sanibel Island was wonderful and provided a relaxed, beautiful tropical paradise experience.

Dining

8.0

Dining was very good at the Normandie, with great service. The only downside was that breakfast didn't start until 8 am, making it a bit late for those wanting to begin their day early.

Facilities

9.0

The facilities in the courtyard layout were immaculate, and the new mattresses were very comfy.
