We had an amazing stay at Amara Cay Resort! The property was beautiful, clean, and relaxing, with an incredible waterfront setting and a true tropical Keys atmosphere. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our entire stay. The pool and outdoor areas were perfect for relaxing, and the location made it easy to enjoy everything Islamorada has to offer. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would absolutely recommend Amara Cay to anyone visiting the Florida Keys. We’re already looking forward to coming back!
Verified review

8/10 Very good

We moved here last minute from a grimey hotel down the street, so we had to settle for a small room next to the elevator w a parking lot view, but it was still really nice. We’ve stayed here before, in a bigger room w a water view, and it was awesome. Will definitely stay there again. Only con is the shuttle they offered… the pickup time kept getting pushed off to the point where we finally just called an Uber and it was there in 2 minutes. They need more shuttles going at once.

8/10 Very good

This resort was absolutely beautiful!! The pool was amazing, a resort style pool. The resort had its own private beach area and a dock. Had plenty of seating everywhere, many cool sitting areas around the property. The only negative thing I could say is that the staff didn’t pick up trash and towels around the pool which seemed odd and it was off season so it wasn’t busy. It’s such a beautiful resort that I would think that would be a priority to keep it clean. Another cool thing is that they have a water taxi and shuttle to their 2 sister resorts which you can utilize all of those amenities as well. They also included bike rentals, paddle boards and kayaking on site which is convenient. You can also bring your private boat there and leave it at the dock for a fee. I would absolutely stay there again!
