Snorkel the clear waters of Florida Bay where nurse sharks and tropical fish glide beneath your fins. Kayak through mangrove tunnels at sunset, then sample fresh-caught hogfish at waterfront restaurants where locals gather for live music.
Loved everything about our stay.
Unfortunately we only stayed one night but would have spent a month here if we could.
We arrived on Halloween and received a trick or treat bag full of goodies and a rum cocktail as a welcome.
The lady who checked us in was excellent. So friendly and helpful. We can't praise her enough.
Our room was very clean, and very tastefully decorated in a beach hut style. We loved it.

Great stay, our second time at the resort. Very chilled atmosphere, attentive staff and a wonderful location. Stayed in the same room as last time #14 which has been updated since last year. Comfortable room with a very efficient if slightly noisy air conditioner. We will be returning again.

We originally booked Kona Kai for one night but we loved it so much we stayed for three nights. Kathryn and Zee, the office staff, were both a pure delight and very helpful. The room we had was like a small apartment and very well equipped. Nice private beach with kayaks, paddle boards and iguanas provided. There is a fairly decent restaurant across the road but it would be great if Kona Kai had a restaurant or bar too. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed for 1 night before traveling on but this was a wonderful place to stay it was very relaxing and calm and the free kayak use was a bonus, the free breakfast was basic but sufficient this location was beautiful

When we arrived the check in was very friendly. We stayed in the Hideaway, a little place tucked away. It was a lovely little room. All accommodations are close to the private beach where there were a few sun loungers to watch the sunset and free paddle boards and kayaks. The decorative animals scattered around the place just add to its quirkiness.

We spent 3 fab nights at Cheeca Lodge and we had a great time. Only problem with such a lovely resort is that you don’t want to go and explore the islands (although we did) and to do so means not using the ample facilities enough.
The beach and pier area was beautiful and peaceful, the gym was just about right and the room was ideally sized.
We heard one lady moaning about their TV not working so we checked and ours wasn’t either - so if you want to stay in your room and watch tv…!!

Once you get through the gate the setting is absolutely breathtaking. Such a relaxing environment. Sunset was amazing. We was also very privileged to see a manatee feeding at the waters edge of the property at sunrise.

What a fantastic time we had at The Islands of Islamorada. The resort is maintained to the highest standards while having a laid back, traditional Keys vibe. Staff stay in background but are always there to help and assist if needed. Can't recommend highly enough - although in truth I'd rather not too many people get to know about the Islands, just in case it gets too busy to book!

The hotel is expensive enough anyway without hidden extras
Stealth tax what they’ve now labelled resort $50 a night tax plus $25 per night car parking
Shame because it has a lovely vibe about the place

Nice, cool lodge, but the beautiful location on Florida Bay is the real prize here. Why go out when youve got this view on your doorstep? Best seats in the house!!
