    My husband and I came here from Thursday through Sunday. It was a fantastic stay. We will definitely come back. Our room was very clean and comfortable. It had a perfect view of the water. The staff was welcoming and kind. We had scones every morning. They were delicious! The scones flavor change everyday and it gets better each day. We enjoyed hanging out in the bay, relaxing by the pool and eating at some of the local restaurants. The resort was small and quiet, very relaxing! We are already planning our next trip. Thank you for a great weekend getaway!

    We decided on a last minute trip to the Florida Keys, and we were lucky to snag a room for one night at the Bay Harbor Lodge. It was perfect! The owner's son, Jonathan, was super helpful and welcoming! He gave us so much information about places to eat, and places to go. (Thank you for the recommendation to stop at Robbie's! Feeding the tarpon was so much fun!) We booked the cheapest and smallest room, but it was perfect for our needs! We definitely want to come back and stay here longer. And we will book one of the rooms that overlook the bay. Five stars for location, 10 stars for service!

    So glad we found this resort Had a wonderful time. Stayed in one of their cottages that was so pretty. There is a beach, equipment rental, grill, patio table. Beautiful sunsets and homemade scones in the morning.

    Nice neon green iguana by the pool.

    What a hidden gem! We loved the quiet , quaint cottages. We utilized the kayaks and the warm pool. The breakfast scones and coffee were a wonderful treat in the morning. Sunsets with our bottle of wine was such a perfect ending to a fantastic trip. The hosts are so gracious and accommodating we can't wait to plan staying here again !

    This place doesn't look like much from the road but once you drive in, you enter a lush tropical garden. There are many sitting areas where you can quietly read, or you can sit by the bay and watch the boats go by. We were lucky and were visited by five manatees upon our arrival! The rooms are extremely clean and comfortable. They appear to keep everything updated as they were remodeling several units while we were there. The owner, Peg, and her son, Jonathan, were very accommodating and eager for our feedback and suggestions. Can't forget to mention the coffee and homemade scones each morning! Miss Renee was so pleasant as was all of the staff. We will be planning our return visit.

    This is an adorable, clean property. It is fantastic for families, or a romantic getaway. The free use of kayaks & paddle boats is a big plus. Every morning the food truck serves up a delicious variety of scones. You can smell the hot coffee brewing. What a way to start your day sitting there, relaxing having your morning coffee and scones surrounded by beautiful foliage. The staff is so friendly and helpful and really make this place special.

    I can't say enough about this destination. If you are looking for a true tropical Keys experience, this is your place. The facilities and amenities are aplenty and the property is manicured and meticulously cared for. The tropical feel abounds all around you. Pride of ownership is evident and the staff bends over backwards to be accommodating. We will absolutely make this the hub for for Keys adventures in the future. Let's just keep this place our little secret

    LAST MINUTE DIVE TRIP to the KEYS and I FOUND THIS WONDERFUL PLACE. I was working on two-week long project in Miami and had the weekend off. I scrambled to find an inexpensive place to stay for the weekend, so I could get a few scuba dives in. I have been to Key Largo many times, I wish I found Bay Harbor Lodge sooner. It is a cozy place on the bayside. The rooms where immaculately clean. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The grounds are well kept and the small beach/pier was a great place to chill out after my dives. The rooms are not big but you are not in the Keys to hang out in your room. All in all, the place is a great value, compared to other places in the Keys, you are getting twice as much for half the price.

    Gorgeous hidden gem. Staff was amazing. The wife and I made a last minute trip, and was so impressed with this resort. Beautiful landscaping, friendly staff, free kayaks and Paddle boards to use. The rooms are extremely clean and beautiful. Peg the owner makes delicious scones free of charge every morning. Her son Jonathan was very helpful throughout our stay. Will definitely be back. Like Peg says. Come as guests and leave as friends. Thank you all for a great stay.

    We had an outstanding experience at Bay Harbor in Key Largo that far exceeded our expectations. We knew we wanted a weekend getaway in the Keys but had no idea what a relaxing, paradise we were about to encounter. Jonathan, JoJo, Eric, Lydia, and the rest of the staff were amazingly accommodating. They are friendly and bend over backwards to make sure guests are happy as can be. The grounds are well manicured and all facilities are clean. Kayaks and paddle boats are always available for a lovely ride on the bay. The homemade scones are delicious and coffee is a nice touch, but the unbelievable staff was the part that made this a resort unlike any other. Not only did they give us recommendations for eateries and places to visit in Key Largo, but they spent time talking about the other places they have lived and visited. I felt like we were on vacation with friends. We will be back for certain.More Date of stay: April 2021

    We travelled the Keys last fall and stayed in Key Largo, Marathon and Key West. This property was our favorite. We loved our ocean view bungalow, the morning coffee and scones and the kayaking! Every morning and evening we walked to the free kayaks and had a marvelous time looking for sea creatures and enjoying beautiful shoreline views. We also had outstanding service from the front desk staff to the owner. We recommend this property! I'm late writing my review and we hope they are okay and didn't suffer much damage from Irma.

    Enjoyed our vacation in one of the cottages. Rooms were so clean, atmosphere was great, scones in the morning melted in your mouth. We had a wonderful time for our anniversary. Will definitely visit again.

    Don't open your furnace closet at Bay Harbor, or at least wear a respirator if you do! Yuck.

    Came to Bay Harbor with my wife and her parents. At first, I thought "Okay, it's not the nicest place ever - but charming!" Enjoyed the view from the beach, the kayaks available to take out and scones in the morning were really good. But the service and quality of the room were just horrible. Let's start with management. We did break two rules on night one without realizing it and the management got a bit salty with us for that, which I TOTALLY understand. However, it was in a completely unprofessional manner. Most places would have notified you nicely and been polite - not the group at Bay Harbor. Specifically, there's a guy there named Justin, who was so rude to my wife that she walked away crying after talking with him. I guess I was just baffled that the team there cared zero about treating people nicely and with respect. Also, there was a billing problem that he dealt with by being forceful, rather than just ringing up the room to talk or putting a billing notification under the door? Just totally unprofessional, not what would happen at any major chain or place of good reputation. The room quality at Bay Harbor was also no where near what the price commanded. And I imagine they'd probably tell you, "well that's what you pay for down here! The Keys are expensive." But trust me, it's a complete joke. Nothing was clean, and there was black mold at the bottom of the shower and in the closet. (I have pictures, but I guess I can't post them?) The mold gave me some serious respiratory irritation, which totally ruined my "vacation." I felt sick waking up every morning and could barley swallow until I had spent 6+ hours outside the room. Overall, I really would not recommend staying here. If it's your cheapest option, save up a couple hundred more bucks and find a better place. Preferably somewhere that is corporate and that has policies on how to deal with customers and doesn't have black mold. It's really a shame, I took three days off work to go on this vacation with my wife's family, and staying here made me wish I was back at home at work. I'm probably never going back to Key Largo or the Key's in general again, it left that bad of a taste in my mouth (or throat! lol).

As Hilton Gold members, we were fortunate to receive a small room upgrade at booking, which we definitely appreciated. Let me start with the highlights the resort amenities are wonderful, especially for families. There were plenty of complimentary activities for kids during the day, and even fun nighttime events like dancing that were adorable and well thought out. It truly felt family-friendly, and there was always something going on to keep everyone entertained. The cutest was Santa pics with cookies and milk! The staff was attentive and kind throughout our stay, and honestly, that goes a long way. Great service can elevate an entire experience, and they really delivered on that front. That said, at nearly $1,000 per night during peak season, I did expect the facilities and rooms to be in better condition. The property has so much potential, but parts of it felt a bit rundown for the price point. The rooms could use some attention and deeper cleaning. I completely understand that this is a beachfront resort and sand is inevitable however we noticed quite a bit of sand throughout the room, even on the bed when it had been freshly made. I've stayed at other beach resorts where housekeeping was a bit more thorough in that regard. However nothing crazy but cleanliness is big in my book. One morning, there was also a cockroach at the coffee cart. My husband reported it right away to the front desk. The next few mornings the cart wasn't out, and I'm assuming they were addressing the situation, which I appreciate but it was still a bit off-putting. The on-site restaurants were good not extraordinary, but enjoyable and I felt the pricing there was fair considering it's a resort property. Overall, we had a great experience. The resort has incredible potential, and with a little more attention to upkeep especially considering the premium nightly rate it could easily be a five-star stay. The friendly staff and activities made a big difference.

And don't forget the tax man as he is expensive as well. We had coffee from the coffee truck in the lobby and for a regular coffee and a latte it was $21 with the fees. 2 drinks at the pool was $42 with the fees and 2 apps from the bar last night was $50 with a $5 tip. Total rip off for what you get. We have stayed at Hiltons in 16 countries including the Grand Wailea Maui and have never seen these types of numbers. 10+ years as a Diamond with Hilton and this is a shameful experience. It would be different if the rooms made up for it but they are no better than a redone drive up motel as it is noisy all night long with halls open to the parking lot.

The room was HUGE and we loved that it had two bathrooms, everything was so luxurious and the showers were amazing. The beds were super comfortable (my other friend slept on the Murphy bed and said it was great).

Our daughter was recently married here and we did a full three-night resort buyout. While the property itself is absolutely stunning the nine months leading up to the wedding were incredibly frustrating. Communication was consistently poor--weeks would go by without any response. We were promised a Florida Resident Discount by two different general managers, but it was never honored. (This is a significant discount that we did not get as promised). In total, we went through four general managers, each making new promises that never materialized. Even weeks before the wedding, when we were trying to make final payment, we couldn't get a response. When I finally raised concerns with the newest manager, her response was, "I have like six brides all contacting me at once." With all due respect, that's not how you handle a time-sensitive, stressful situation for a bride and her family. To add to the confusion, their website still showed units available just days before our event--even though we had rented out the entire resort. The units themselves are not equipped as expected either--we had to go out and purchase basic items like dish towels, a dish scrubber, pot holders, and more. Their new lanai roof leaks and ruined a couple of the custom built items we thought were safely stored since it's a brand new structure.

Outdoor beach beds with curtains and lounge beds with visors you can pull down. The bungalow itself has an indoor shower and also an outdoor soaking tub and shower. You get your own bikes to ride around the property. The air conditioning was very good. The sheets were lovely. Everything was clean and in good working order. It also felt very private. We loved the breakfast buffet. The fruit and pastries were our favorites. We also loved Bogey and Bacall's. We didn't love Sea Senor's as much, although it was really fun and beautiful eating right by the beach. The food was just a bit bland. Another thing that I didn't fully realize until we got there was that there isn't a traditional beach. There is sand but it is lined by a rocky coast. You can swim in the ocean and you access it by stairs. So that is something to keep in mind. The pools were lovely and clean. But they could be bigger and maybe have like a water feature or something to improve the ambiance. The pools all close at sunset. Which also was a bit of a bummer and we weren't sure why. But we enjoyed swimming in them. We also didn't realize that seating around the pool is limited and if we wanted to have chairs by the pool, we'd have to get there early and save seats. The spa was incredible. We got a couples massage and it was one of the best massages I have ever had. Definitely recommend going there and treating yourself. Overall our experience was wonderful and romantic and relaxing. The only thing that prevents me from wanting to go back is not having a traditional beach where you can just walk into the ocean and swim.
