Holiday Inn SANIBEL ISLAND

Pros: Lush, gorgeous vegetation. Kid-friendly property with 'don't feed the gators' signs. Fun room decor.
Cons: Internet in the rooms was pretty slow.

We tend to take the kids down to Florida every other year to see their 'Tampa cousins', and side trips to Orlando with its theme park madness are usually a given. This summer, with the kids now in their teen years, I decided some rest and relaxation on ...

Cons: Pricey for what you get, but high prices are standard in Sanibel

Pros: Acting like a kid again on the beach, picking shells, chasing husband with seaweed
Cons: The Holiday Inn's king size bed---HARD AS ROCK
