Romance Expert Tips & Helpful Hints

All 114 one- and two-bedroom suites have Gulf views. For romance 24/7, book a one-bedroom beachfront suite with a cabana package (daily cabana and two beach chairs on the sand).
How do you want to surprise your sweetheart? Rose petals, champagne, candles, chocolate-covered strawberries, in-room massages, and help with that special proposal all can be arranged.

Weddings have been celebrated here for more than a century. The charming plantation-style building housing the resort's elegant restaurant, Thistle Lodge, was built more than 100 years ago as a wedding present from a groom to his bride. Lucky couples have been exchanging vows at this island sanctuary ever since. Tucked among palms and gracious landscaping that edges wedding-white, shell-decked beach, Casa Ybel is one of Sanibel's most revered retreats. Ceremony sites include the photo-perfect beach, a tranquil lakeside gazebo, a sweep of lawn surrounded by verdant landscaping, and the utterly romantic environs of Thistle Lodge.
