Very recently, we found out that world traveler and vacation guru, Arthur Frommer, announced his top ten places in the world to visit. We were not surprised to find Sanibel Island on the list. We were surprised to see Sanibel at the top of the list.Sanibel's signature lighthouse

You read that right. Arthur Frommer named Sanibel Island #1 among his favorite places to visit. We beat out Bali (the island), Paris (the city in France), Cairo (Egypt) and every other place around the globe.

But you probably already knew Sanibel as the best. More than that, you probably already know that West Wind Island Resort is the best of Sanibel. Our guests tell us that West Wind Island Resort offers the quintessential Sanibel vacation experience.

Our beach is not only great for shelling, it is a quiet place on the island. Serene is a word “serene” comes to mind.

Our swimming pool is not only large, it is heated for your comfort.

Our pool deck goes one step beyond relaxing and friendly. It includes an elevated pub, with cool drinks and snacks, and tables and chairs to sit at and chat with friends. It also has a striking view of the Gulf.

We could go on. But the blogging pros say, “Keep it short.” So we’ll summarize by saying we are, TRUE SANIBEL

We invite you to join in with your comment. What’s your favorite thing about West Wind Island Resort.?
