Amara Cay Resort is truly a slice of paradise! Our stay was absolutely perfect — from the moment we checked in, we were greeted by friendly, helpful staff who made us feel right at home. We stayed in an oceanfront hotel room, and the views were nothing short of breathtaking. Waking up to the sound of the waves and watching the sunrise from our balcony was a highlight of the trip. Huge thanks to the entire team at Amara Cay for creating such a memorable experience. We’ll definitely be back!

Amazing experience!! The staff was always attentive and took care of our every need. Todd at the pool big shout out! The girls at the front desk can’t remember their names but above and beyond. We stayed for a week on a small family vacation and enjoyed the sister property three waters. The girls running the rum runner water shuttle to the other properties are the best, we had a great time on our couple of trips out of Amara cay.

Check in was delayed for about hour and half. Very disorganized at the check in desk. Manager never came to speak with is as it is guaranteed check in. We were told we could hang in the lobby with out stuff. Room was very Average for the cost. Resort prices were high for food and drink. Very disappointing
