Summary: Beautiful property right on the beach. Loved that we could just grab kayaks right off the beach and go paddle around. Our room was clean and the AC was cold.
Kurt Jun 30, 2026 04:14:13 AM
Summary: We had a late check in 7:30 pm, Staff left 6:00 Got the key made it to our room Room was not the oceanside with a balcony that we booked. Went to desk next day asking about our room, apparently they gave the balcony we reserved and paid for a week prior to someone else. They had no room with the amenities we reserved. Next day i saw our room on hotels.com that we had reserved was now available. The desk staff would not let me have the vacant room we reserved.

Summary: The place over charges this is not a resort it’s more like a motel I payed over $1200 for two nights and I feel this place shouldn’t charge more than $250 a night. Also be aware there was a resort fee the kayaks weren’t working and the office was always closed. Will not be going back.

Summary: What a wonderfully kitschy Florida Keys hotel! The property was beautifully manicured and well taken care of. Our room was clean and very comfortable. We can’t wait to book another stay!
