The unit was older but clean. The facility was well maintained. The issue was the noise. The folks in the adjacent unit began arguing loudly around 8:00 pm. There was a lot of bagging on the walls that could be felt in our bed. Chairs were scooted across the floor with a loud screeching sound. The noise finally stopped around midnight

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 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.
