Stay here was nice, rooms are pretty clean, stairwells & doors are dirty. Food and drink are ridiculously expensive, and no vending machines. I ended up going offsite & buying beer & snacks. No microwaves in room. And no real beach. Its just a drop off with stairs to water. Room was very comfortable and pool was great. Thats about it. For the price of admission, you'd think a free breakfast every morning woul be included. Again, we went off site for that.
It was very relaxing and quiet however.
Reception desk staff accommodated our early arrival by giving us access to the hotel grounds and contacted us when our room was ready. Lobby, reception and grounds were very well maintained and all staff encountered is personable and engaging.
My husband and I traveled to Amara Cay Resort for a 4 night stay and were very impressed with the whole experience. The room was very clean and comfortable. The food, drinks and service were excellent as well. We loved the reusable water bottles they gave us at check in, I have never been offered that before and thought it was a smart idea! They also had other great things they offered like a shuttle service and fishing. The beach and pool were beautiful even though it was too chilly for us to utilize the weekend we were here. If you’re traveling to Islamorada for business or vacation we definitely recommend staying at Amara Cay!
The room we were in was a handicap room and was unaware. The bathroom completely flooded any time we turned on the shower. There were also bugs in a lot of places and the phone and TV didn’t work.
