The resort was lovely and provided everything we could possibly need. They had indoor and outdoor dining and bars, a pool, fully equipped small gym, docking for boats, a shuttle service by land and a shuttle boat to their other two sister resorts. They have bicycles, kayaks, and paddle boards to use. There was fishing gear available to rent and for $3.50 a ball you could hit golf balls in the water.. When we arrived they offered us a free cocktail and a refillable water bottle to use around the resort and take with you.Just stayed 2 nights and wish I had booked it longer. Islamarada is the place to be. Wish we hadn't left to go to Marathon. I will definitely return. My favorite place to stay in the Keys.

Our favorite part of our stay was taking the Rum Runner with Captain Mike and Jen. They made this complimentary experience that was offered to us as guests the highlight of our stay. From the history and information we learned about the keys while on the open water, to their personal and professional touch of taking photos, engaging in conversations, helping us learn the spots in each resort to check out, and local things not to miss, it was by far the best time. We loved the music played on the boat, and how it was decorated for the holidays too. We probably would not have gone to the other resorts but this made it a fun experience and we loved being able to check out what else we had access to by visiting this way. Highly recommend.

Beautiful property. We were there over Christmas, and recreation/amenities were limited. Facility needs some maintenance - shower wasn't much more than a trickle, one of the three fire pits on site wasn't working (chilly evenings), elevator wasn't working for half of our trip. We didn't eat on site; choosing to go to some highly-rated local restaurants that were lower priced. Don't forget you'll be paying $60 per night resort fee to the property (not included in your Expedia booking); not many resort amenities for that price.

The property was loud, with lots of rosters crowing all day long. Had difficulty getting clean towels in hotel room or at pool multiple days. Room service came at 7pm one night. Could not find a quiet place to take a phone call in the entire resort. insufficient parking too.

Liked out stay. Beautiful property with a nice beach and pool. It was Christmas time and seems like they were short staffed. Took forever to be served at restaurant and because of the holiday there was only one price fixed menu without other options. That should be looked into for future as limited menu at Tiki Bar if you are eating a number of meals and don't eat meat.
