Enjoyed this resort!

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!

Liked: Cleanliness

Definitely not worth the almost $500 dollars/night we paid for it! The AC was not working properly. We had to call 3 times to the front desk in order to get the engineer up to our room. Finally the engineer came and said that there was no issues with the thermostat… that we should give it some time to cool… we told him that we set it to the lowest temperature in the morning and when we got back late afternoon it was even warmer than in the morning. So he said he was going to check the equipment upstairs… Later I called again the front desk, and also texted them and they finally said that the engineer cannot do anything else to fix the AC and that we could change to a different room. We had a wedding to attend that night so we said we would move when we come back. But since we arrived late, we didin’t want to go thought the hassle of changing rooms for 1 more night so we decided to stay in the same room. The problem with that room is that even though it was colder outside, we couldn’t even open a window since there’s no balcony or window we could have opened in order to freshen the room.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities

I selected this stay based on past reviews which were mostly 4 stars and property photos but was very disappointed when we actually entered our room. The condition of the furniture, upholstery, mattress/bedding, draperies is very worn, tattered and filthy. Daily housekeeping was a towel change, trash empty and a scoot out of the room, no actual cleaning was done. Our sheets were not changed for 3/4 days even though it was needed...sand/oils etc. The boxspring is badly stained and the bedskirt to cover this boxspring does not fit appropriately, never neat or tidy and half covered if at all-no effort. The dresser is warped so there is not a flat top surface, the drawers lean forward & kept sliding open, the hinges on the fridge cabinet door are hanging off, the toe kick is rotten along with the bed base platform. The shower glass and mirrors not cleaned, the floors not cleaned once, the sink and countertops not cleaned/wiped, the soap dish never cleaned/filled with soap mess, sliding doors never touched or the door tracks for years, the balcony glass railing smudged with fingerprints, water stains way prior to our arrival. The water in the shower has a very bad sulfur/rotten egg smell 5 minutes into bathing, awful. No idea if this should be concerning or not. The positive.. grounds, beach, pool, landscaping are beautiful, front and back. The lobby, bar and lounge seating are well done, breakfast is amazing! Shuttle service is awesome-great drivers!!

Good bang for buck

Overall we had a good experience, but I think we may pay up for the sister hotel, Three Waters, next time. The hotel is updated, but some details are still old and worn, shows the most in the bathrooms (our door was falling apart). The service and food is good overall, but in the details, some servers and front desk folks are much better than others. Property is somewhat small, so I have trouble calling it a resort - I couldn’t just stay here for a week. You have to get off the property to have more variety of meals and activities.
