    great snack bar

    This resort is perfect for me, free shuttle, outdoor pool, and a great snack bar. The staff once helped me find my lost ID card, making me feel valued. I highly recommend it for a relaxing getaway.

    Fantastic family getaway with amazing staff

    The staff was super helpful, especially the chef who totally went above and beyond to accommodate our daughter's food allergies. Loved the beach views and that they had kayaks available. Only tricky part was the dining options were sometimes busy, but the poolside snack bar was a lifesaver.

    huge room
    friendly staff

    It was just a proper fit for a transient stop in Islamorada with good price value. My room was huge, with a fridge and microwave, which made things convenient. Look out for activities like biking and paddle boarding while you're there.

    beautiful sunrises
    pretty pool
    pet-friendly vibe
    cashless bar

    We had a lovely time enjoying the beautiful sunrises and lounging by the pretty pool. The pet-friendly vibe was great, and we also loved the access to kayaks for some fun on the water. A minor hiccup was that the bar only took card payments, but overall it was a fantastic stay! 🏖️

    lovely atmosphere
    attentive staff
    beautiful property
    minor room issues
    slow service at bar

    Our stay was enjoyable, especially the relaxed atmosphere around the pool and tiki bar. The staff was attentive and helpful, and we loved the beautiful property. Although there were some minor issues with the TV in the room, it didn’t overshadow the overall positive experience we had. Exploring local spots using the hotel shuttle was a nice perk too.

    pool area
    tiki bar
    damaged closet door

    We had a great time on our group vacation! The pool area was awesome, and we loved hanging out at the Tiki Bar. We also enjoyed using the complimentary shuttle to explore local spots.

    One negative note was the damaged closet door in our room, which was a bit disappointing but didn’t affect our overall experience.

    cozy beds
    nice grounds view
    decent sleep
    basic room
    worn fixtures

    The Queen Room with Two Queen Beds was cozy enough, but honestly, it felt a bit basic compared to what I expected. The beds were decent, and I had a nice view of the grounds, but the room itself wasn’t anything special. There was some noise from outside that interrupted my sleep, which was annoying. Could've used a little updating, too, as some fixtures felt a bit worn out. Overall, it served its purpose but could definitely use some improvements.

    breakfast wait

    The beachfront setting was beautiful, offering a calming atmosphere. The pool was warm and inviting, making it a great spot for relaxation. However, I did face some issues with room cleanliness and the efficiency of service during breakfast hours. The staff could improve their attention to detail.

    cozy indoor dining
    overwhelming check-in

    A poolside adventure turned rainy

    After a chaotic check-in, we enjoyed the pool, despite the rain. Having dinner at the Tiki Hut indoors while watching the storm was surprisingly cozy.

    Unfortunately, the initial check-in experience was overwhelming. The front desk struggled to locate one of our reservations, leading to unnecessary stress on our first night.

    friendly staff
    stunning views
    relaxing environment
    outdated features
    housekeeping issues
    high prices

    The stay at Amara Cay Resort felt refreshing. The grounds were well-kept, and the layout made it easy to access the beach and pool. The staff were friendly, especially at the Tiki Bar by the pool. I enjoyed the live music events and the atmosphere was relaxing. The ocean views from my room were stunning, adding to the overall charm of the place. The breakfast options at the restaurant were decent, but certainly not worth the prices charged. The check-in process could have been smoother. I waited a bit too long to get my room despite arriving on time. My room had some outdated features that detracted from the otherwise pleasant experience. I also encountered minor issues with housekeeping during my stay. While the rooms were clean, they could use some modernization to match the lovely overall aesthetic of the resort. The amenities offered, like bike and water sports rentals, were great, but availability should be improved. Despite these inconveniences, the beautiful pool and beach made up for a lot, creating a cozy retreat for relaxation. I'd likely return because of the location and service, but I hope to see some updates next time.

    oceanfront view
    wedding memories
    slow wifi
    door issue

    I had a lovely time and found the amenities to be enjoyable. The view of the ocean front was surprising every morning. My wife and I got married there, and it was a memorable experience for us.

    I noticed some issues such as slow WiFi and a hotel room door that required a strong push to close, which disrupted the experience a bit.
