Casa Ybel Resort, Sanibel Island, Florida© Casa Ybel Resort

Overview:

Casa Ybel Resort lies off the mainstream path along the shell-studded natural beaches of Florida's Sanibel Island. While in operation since the turn of the century, a modern and renovated Casa Ybel offers travelers a true sanctuary — a place to "get away from it all."

Tucked away in a nature preserve, Casa Ybel also welcomes feathered guests that come to feed and rest in Florida's friendly climate.

Whether you're seeking adventure, family fun or romance... award-winning Casa Ybel offers southern hospitality and long-admired traditions to make your stay a pleasant one.

The award-winning menu includes a blend of Floridian, European, and Asian flavors to please the most discriminating tastes. Reservations suggested.

Recreation:

Casa Ybel likes to say that relaxation and recreation are one in the same. Topping this list is the 14 miles of world-famous beach that can be enjoyed from the comfort of individually-placed beach equipment, including chaise lounges, umbrellas and cabanas. The 23 miles of paved bike paths can be enjoyed by renting bikes, kiddy carts, tandem bikes and more. What a great way to see the island!

Southwest Florida is known as a golfing paradise and many courses are within driving distance of Casa Ybel Resort. Swimming, tennis and volleyball is also available.

Children's Programs:

The Casa Kids Club is a great time for ages 4 to 11. The three-hour daily program consists of indoor and outdoor games and various craft projects. Swimming and other activities are sometimes available, depending on the ages and abilities of the children in attendance on any given day.

A kiddy pool and olympic-size swimming pool for older kids provide the right amount of splash appeal. Other sport activities include basketball, tennis, volleyball, bounce ball, bicycles and horseshoes.

The Recreation Department also offers activities throughout the afternoon for children of all ages.
