Better food and more menu choices might come back but if stays as is will do our 4 trips a year elsewhere

The staff was amazingly helpful

The restaurant and tiki bar have changed their menu from previous visits and not for the better. Very few options for people that don’t like seafood or want a burger or a steak. Thanksgiving dinner was horrible. Boxed mashed potatoes and canned gravy !

Great location and beautiful hotel decor very modern

Loved the environment and the staff. The staff was absolutely amazing from check in to check out. Ordered room service and the food was just amazing. The Banana Bread French toast was our favorite.

The tv in the room kept going in and out and the ceiling had a lot of dust on it which aggravated our sinuses towards the end of the stay.

Nice but not nice won't book there again.

We could see the ocean from balcony. Location close to restaurants. Dock great fir fishing . Pool was saltwater and great.

The desk attendant first thing asked us for credit card which they took $200.00 out of my checking account as a possible damage to the room reason, and then when we left informed us that it would take 7 to 10 days back to my checking account still waiting for credit. We asked if we could possibly have a microwave in the room and then there wasn't one so we called and then desk person said if they have one they would get one for us which they did. They also informed us no smoking in room or there would be a 250.00 fine. More rules Yada Yada. The man by Kayak rental was the nicest ever. And told us to have fun and fish and enjoy our stay. Very nice.

Very disappointed in the quality. Almost $400/night is severely overpriced.

The staff was friendly at check-in, but seemed to be overwhelmed as our calls to the front desk went unanswered.

The room and bathroom ceilings had several mold spots that were painted over(poorly). The pool was dirty and cloudy, nothing like the photos. Way overpriced for the poor quality.

Very good

The resort was beautiful, had fun activities, good food, and the staff was pleasant.

There was a problem with the hot water and the water pressure which was fixed the next evening. The a/c also had a loud rattling noise. Other than that we really enjoyed ourselves.

Very good

Property was very nice. The Lobby was very pretty - bartender was very good! Great watermelon Mojitos 😊

Our flight was very late we arrived super late and they could not accommodate checkout at 1 pm so we could enjoy the facilities. The food was ok / breakfast not so good.

Pleasant week getaway.

We really liked the location, the facilities and the amenities. The customer service is amazing. The remodel on the property is great . The rooms comfortable and the common areas well kept. Kayaks and paddle-boards are available at no cost.

We have mixed feelings about this property. We found that our bathroom shower had mold & mildew and was not properly cleaned. Our room had no pillows at check in and it was only serviced one out of three nights. On the last day I had to request it because we never had housekeeping in our room. Also, the day we checked in the pool Was closed (not ideal when traveling with children). One thing I really didnt like is that the bartender at the pool Bar kept adding extra shots to our drinks without asking. We only found out when we received the check. Each shot was a additional costs. Not a nice way to make more.

Not recommended because of the service experience.

I loved the lobby and the view

The service at the hotel was simply not good. It started even before we arrived at the hotel we called the hotel and asked to change a room, we encountered unpleasant service representatives and an inflexible attitude- only booking helped us with that. We arrived at the hotel at 4 o'clock which is the time to check in and the room was not ready, we had to wait another half hour. We celebrated a birthday and mentioned it in the message they sent the day before and there was no reference to it.

Amara Cay is where you want to stay when in Islamorada 😊

We really liked everything there, it was so tropical with a nice vibe~the food was so good too.

That you couldn’t pay with cash at the bar or restaurant.

Terrible and would not recommend!

Nothing

The bathroom flooded and the staff did not care when we brought it to their attention. We were only provided 1 washcloth and 2 towels for the room. When we asked for more, we were told we were only allowed 1. We paid for a scenic view room and we were put in a room looking at a rooftop. When we asked to change, we were informed it would cost more and have to go from a king bed to a queen bed. (We had already paid for the upgraded room with a scenic view.) The grounds keeping crew sent a rock into our vehicle and made a dent. Again, the manager did not care and said to just call the police. We checked out of this establishment immediately and went to a better place. I absolutely would NOT recommend this establishment.

We had a very nice time and enjoyed our visit even with the water issues on our last morning.

I liked the tropical feel of the hotel. I also liked the outside areas. I liked being able to get a paddle board, kayak, canoe or a bike which were included with our stay.

There was a water main break the last morning of our stay and the hotel was without any water with the exception of one lobby restroom. We were unable to shower or use our bathroom in our room. We left without showering. It was an Island wide outage so was no fault of the Amara Cay Resort.

Relaxing, fun, and enjoyable

Everything! The pool was wonderful, the beach was relaxing, and the ping pong area was inviting. We enjoyed using the kayaks, the yoga class on site, and the bar. The staff was amazing!

There isn’t anything we didn’t like for the property.
