Great Breakfast Buffet

“I thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast buffet at Sundial. The dining area offered a nice view, and the food options were solid, including an omelette bar. The only suggestion I have is to add yogurt for the fresh fruit. Otherwise, it was a good way to start the day.” view full review

Fun Activities for Kids

“During our stay, I noticed how fun and engaging the main pool was for children. It wasn’t just a pool; it had activities like table hockey, ping pong, and mini-basketball nearby. My kids had a blast meeting other kids while enjoying these amenities and crafted some fun shells at the activity center.” view full review

Spacious and Clean Condos

“Our condo was impressively spacious and beautifully appointed. It was well-maintained and very clean, with all the amenities we needed, including a fully equipped kitchen. Having a high countertop and a comfy seating area made our stay extra enjoyable.” view full review

Relaxing Poolside Experience

“I loved the poolside atmosphere at Sundial. The main pool had a great vibe, and there were plenty of chaise lounges available. I particularly appreciated having nearby food options, like pizza and ice cream down by the pool, which made it easy to enjoy a relaxing day.” view full review

Sundial Beach Resort offers an incredible family experience with spacious condos, wonderful beach access, and friendly service. The amenities are plentiful, and the dining options were quite good, but there were a few hiccups with poolside service and beach chair availability. Moreover, we had some issues with those pesky no-see-ums, so be sure to bring repellant.

I had a fantastic wedding experience at this resort. The staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating, making the day unforgettable.

My stay at Sundial was a mix of highs and lows. On the plus side, the location is absolutely fantastic, right on the beach, and the amenities available are quite enjoyable. The rooms are clean and have everything a family might need, but the service experience was not up to par this time around. Overall, it's a beautiful place but be cautious about room assignments and service levels during peak times.

I had a great experience at this resort, which is really more like a small village with multiple buildings than a traditional hotel. The rooms were spacious and meticulously clean, plus the pool area offered a relaxed vibe which was perfect for our family. However, the breakfast options could use some improvement, and it can be a bit quiet around the resort if you're looking for nightlife. Overall, it was a fantastic getaway with direct beach access and plenty of activities for the kids!

The resort's location is fantastic, sitting right on a beautiful beach. It allows easy access to the ocean, though getting to other attractions on the island took a bit longer than expected.

We had a lovely time on Sanibel Island, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and beach access. The resort offered good amenities, though some renovations were ongoing during our stay. Our unit was clean and had a decent view, but the noise from landscaping work was disruptive. Overall, it was a relaxing trip, but certain service aspects could improve.
