Travel Eats: Thistle Lodge in Sanibel, Florida

October 4, 2015

Casa Ybel Resort Thistle Lodge

If you’re visiting Sanibel Island anytime soon, you have to stop by the old-fashioned chic Thistle Lodge at Casa Ybel Resort. Or better yet, I recommend staying at the Casa Ybel Resort. You can’t beat the mile long ocean view, lush lawns, and all the amazing amenities at this spacious resort.

At the Thistle Lodge, you will find quaint sitting areas with views overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. Thistle Lodge provides an award winning menu with a blend of Floridian, European and Asian flavors. Chef Jamie at the Thistle Lodge served us their popular dishes to try. Every single dish was bursting with island flavors. The beachfront salad had me hooked. I tried recreating the dish, but no luck yet. My attempt missed some key flavors. Keep scrolling to see the delicious foods we were served for lunch.

Sharing some of the new products I’ve tried recently and how it’s benefitting my skin this Winter season. The @instanatural_beauty Vitamin C Peel Off Mask is my absolute favorite right now, for it's amazing instant glow. And the InstaNatural Vitamin C cleanser has been incredible for my skin too! Of course the @treehut Moroccan Rose Shea Sugar Scrub will not only make you smelling beautiful but it will also make your skin soft to the touch.

I tried to put into words how I feel about the @T I tried to put into words how I feel about the @ToyotaUSA 2021 Highlander Hybrid Limited 🥰 There's a new blog post - link in bio. Let's just say the staycation at @hotelmarencurio with the Toyota team and all the other amazing Florida bloggers now has officially become one of my most memorable weekends of 2021! Flip through my favorite photos from this trip (more photos at chicstylista.com). 

If you have any questions about the #Highlander, feel free to dm me. 

We also had the opportunity to help our community by doing a beach and park cleanup at Hugh Taylor Birch Park @friendsofbirch. It felt amazing to give back by cleaning the park surrounded by some beautiful souls. 

Thank you Toyota Team and @localtoyotadealers for this wonderful experience.

Just look through the photos to see what we had. My absolute favorites were the Ceviche Al Olivo, Ebi Roll Special, and the Tiradito Nikkei. You can find Sokai at four different locations: Doral, Flagler, The Falls, and Kendall. Bonus - every Friday at the Falls location they have live music. Btw, go check out their menu online! We had such a hard time choosing! 🍣 @zamoragroup
