Pointe Santo Question

Question

Not for certain if anyone here will know the answer but I thought I would give it a shot. Are the elevators at Pointe Santo accessible by wheelchair ? In other words is there a ramp leading up to the elevators in lieu of stairs ? TIA

Answer

Good question. Short answer: yes, according to recent guest reports, the elevators at Pointe Santo are accessible by wheelchair, with ramps leading up to them — but there are some caveats. Here’s what I found, plus considerations and a few things you may want to double check before your trip.

What Guests and Sources Are Saying

On TripAdvisor, a guest wrote: “Yes, elevators are open at Pointe Santo and all have ramps to get to the elevator.”
That same guest noted that Building E’s elevator had some issues recently (“currently … up within days”), implying things can change, so it’s good to verify.
The condo-rental listing for unit C42 explicitly states that “all elevators are currently operational.”
On the website for another unit (E26), they mention that “certain amenities, such as the elevator … may not be available during your stay,” which indicates there could be occasional outage or maintenance.

Accessibility Infrastructure

- According to a condo listing (B26) on Pointesanibel.com, “elevator in each building” is one of the resort amenities — so elevators are a built-in feature of the complex.
- The real estate guide for Pointe Santo also confirms that some of the buildings have elevators, which is relatively noteworthy for Sanibel condo communities.
- From the TripAdvisor thread, the existence of ramps to the elevators suggests that there’s no need to use stairs to reach the elevator doors.

Things to Be Careful About / Confirm Before You Go

Elevator reliability: While elevators are reported to be operational in many units/buildings, there have been *some* recent issues (per guest reports), so it’s wise to double-check right before your stay.
Construction & Repairs: Several sources mention ongoing construction/repairs at Pointe Santo. This could affect access in common areas temporarily.
Unit-specific details: Depending on which building or condo unit you’re staying in, the elevator access might vary slightly (though the general consensus is that ramps exist).
Communication: Call or email the Pointe Santo Condo Association or the property manager (rental agency) in advance — ask specifically about elevator/ramp access, recent elevator maintenance, and which buildings are currently fully accessible.

Bottom Line

Yes — Pointe Santo does appear to have wheelchair-accessible elevators, with ramps leading up to the elevator entries. That said, because there’s been some construction and occasional out-of-service elevators (per recent guest comments), it's best to confirm accessibility details for the specific building and unit you’re renting. A quick call or email to the property manager will help ensure everything is in working order when you arrive.
