Really good Restaurant Experience

“During my stay, I had the pleasure of dining at the onsite restaurant, Hideaway Cafe. The culinary experience was excellent, especially the Hogfish with scallops and shrimp, which was expertly prepared. Each dish was a delight, and I couldn't have asked for better service. Reservations are a must as locals flock here, and it's easy to see why!” view full review

Comfort with Stunning Views

“I stayed in a King Suite that had a private patio under a beautiful pergola. The suite was well-equipped with an apartment-size fridge, a four-burner stove, and a huge microwave. The decor was updated and well-maintained, making it feel cozy and inviting. Waking up to the stunning ocean views every morning was a highlight of my trip!” view full review

Well-Designed and Functional

“The bathroom in my suite was both spacious and practical, featuring ample counter space and clean, modern fixtures. It truly added to the overall comfort of my stay. I appreciated having a private space to unwind after a day of exploring.” view full review

Peaceful and Relaxing

“The king-size bed in my room was just perfect—not too firm and not too soft. I slept soundly every night, which is a rarity for me when traveling. The quiet atmosphere in the resort allowed me to completely unwind and enjoy my stay.” view full review

My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. The charm of the old-Keys vibe popped in great ways, particularly with the retro atmosphere and made-to-order breakfast. However, I encountered several issues, particularly with room conditions and service availability. Overall, while the location and ambiance have merit, they need to address cleanliness and customer service for a truly enjoyable experience.

This small resort offers a personal touch, with rooms that provide a cozy and comfortable experience. The attention from Laura made our stay enjoyable, although some amenities need improvement. Exploring the area with available kayaks was a nice perk, but be prepared for some rocky beach conditions. Overall, a peaceful stay with a great atmosphere, but there are a few maintenance issues to address.

This hotel has a lovely old-school charm and is perfect for families looking for an authentic experience. The oceanfront views are breathtaking, especially during sunrise, making it a great place to unwind. While the rooms were comfortable and clean, they could benefit from additional storage options. The service was exceptional, with nearly immediate responses to any requests. However, the lack of dining options on-site was a bit disappointing, but there are plenty of nearby restaurants to explore.
