    We have stayed at the Residence Inn Marriott Fort Myers Sanibel for a couple of trips to Sanibel and Captiva Island, Florida.

    The hotel offers the comforts of home with full kitchens, high-speed internet access, air-conditioning (a must have), work desk, and great pool area.

    We are members of Marriott's Bonvoy program, so we like being able to use points for our stays or earn them for future visits.

    There is more than enough space for us to spread out and take a deep breath. There are balconies on many of the rooms but we haven't used them much do to the no-see-um bugs that love South Florida.
