David-since when is it trashing when we are concerned about the management of OUR resort. We love Casa Ybel and have every right to speak up when we don't agree about how things are handled. Don't ever tell me things haven't changed since Mariner sold us out. The rebuilding of our units was a disaster. The quality of the units is NOT the quality it first was and we have every right to speak up about it. The trip advisor means nothing to me. We bought at Casa Ybel preconstruction and use our weeks and when we don't we rent them ourselves. So there!!!!!

Again a person incognito.
I do not understand where your interests are with regards to maintaining a healthy condition at Casa Ybel.
If you can't see it is very unfair for a website with a large readership such as tripadvisor to run a privately owned time share deep into tha ground, I suddently understand where you are cmming from.
If you are an owner you should help 3500 other owners to stand up for what is fair.
I have many owners asking me how can we make things right, and I said I would write them a letter for them to change their vicious attacks.
Please help us Casa Ybel owners to get some understnading and support.
Would you place us at #19 on Sanibel?

I am a timeshare owner at Casa Ybel and a frequent contributor to and reader of Tripadvisor.
Tripadvisor does not control what is written on their site. The best way to promote your favorite travel destinations and restaurants is to leave reviews of your own on Tripadvisor. If everyone who loves Casa Ybel leaves a glowing (and honest) review on Tripadvisor, the ratings for the resort will rise in the ranks. People who read Tripadvisor before they chose their vacation destination, will take into account all of the reviews they read there, but most especially, the recent ones.
My advice is to go on Tripadvisor yourself and write a review. Tell the world what you love about Casa Ybel and Sanibel! Casa Ybel is currently listed at #17. Your review will help it move up in the rankings.
