The former Rochester Resorts on Florida’s Sanibel Island
has taken a new name and added a new lodge to its management umbrella.
Now called Sanibel Captiva Beach Resorts, the company
manages the three former Rochester properties: Beachview Cottages on Sanibel,
'Tween Waters Inn Island Resort & Spa on Captiva and Sanibel's Castaways
Beach and Bay Cottages. In addition, it has added the West Wind Inn on Sanibel
to its portfolio.
The West Wind Inn already had many of the same investors
as Rochester Resorts, making the merger a logical move, Sanibel Captiva Beach
Resorts said in announcing the deal. The
properties will maintain their uniqueness while cumulatively providing Sanibel
Captiva Beach Resorts with a wider variety of accommodations, according to
company officials.
