The room was clean, property is nice, pool is really heated and lovely to get in and out. Most places lie about heating their pool this one is for real! Daniel in the office is super great! They have bikes and kayaks to use, that is included in your resort fee.( which is reasonable). Definitely be back☀️.

The staff was very nice, but unfortunately that is not enough. The room was spacious but lacked storage. No dresser or nightstands available. Housekeeping was available only if requested during a guest's stay. The hot water was at most luke warm and only intermittently. The door of the room could not/lock properly, Ice machine broken;

The room was very clean and the staff was great. We didn’t cook. The kitchen was small but it would work if we needed it…full size appliances and a microwave. The place is right on the water. There isn’t a beach but they have sand and they rake it every morning. Pool is small but nice enough. A small place, never crowded while we were there even though it was fully booked. We enjoyed the hotel and Islamorada more than Key West…to crowded to enjoy.
