Sanibel Arms West will be back and better than ever!
The owners and staff members of Sanibel Arms West would like to thank each and every one of you for your heartfelt messages, texts, and emails. While we have not been able to respond to all of them at this time, please know that they were received, and we all felt the Sanibel Love! β€οΈ
Our staff consisting of Steve, Kenny, Otmane, Chris, Austin and Leslie are all safe and accounted for. They all survived the storm relatively unscathed, but the lack of power, water and basic services was overwhelming!
Itβs been exactly three weeks today since Hurricane Ian blew through and changed our lives forever. We do have good news to report that the Sanibel Causeway has reopened today with some restrictions. Please refer to the City of Sanibel website for information regarding re-entry.
We can not express enough gratitude and thanks to all that have been working 24/7 to make this a reality. ππ»ππ»ππ
We are thankful to share that our buildings are still standing! Many of our units do have considerable damage and it will be quite some time before we can welcome guests. However, we are already putting our recovery plan in place.
We are all trying to process the level of destruction that hit not only Sanibel but all of Southwest Florida. The loss of life, property, belongings, businesses and your memories of our little slice of paradise is heartbreaking. π
We thank you for your patience and grace as we navigate this incredibly heartbreaking time. Our staff is working with limited services and remotely. Please be patient as we work through our reservations chronologically as we issue cancellations and refunds. We have already cancelled and refunded all reservations up till March of 2023.
It is easy to focus on the loss, but we are now focused on the future. Please share on our page any memories of your time with us so we can all remember how great Sanibel Arms West is while we continue to focus on our rebuilding projects throughout the year.
Sanibel Arms West will be back, and we will be better than ever! We are a resilient, strong community and have strong leadership on property as well as with the City of Sanibel and the State of Florida. We are !
