My husband and I were so impressed with this resort! The grounds were immaculate. It had a welcoming feel. You can tell that they really take pride in every area of the property, rooms, pool and grounds. What a joy!! It was a fantastic experience where we could forget about work and enjoy each moment. We had room 4 which was a kitchen, dining area, king size bed, and bathroom located near the dock. It was clean, up kept and we enjoyed our entire time there! The bed was comfortable and it had a nice TV. My husband brought fishing tackle so that he could fish from the dock and was extremely happy!! Next time he plans to bring his small boat so that he can dock it there. Upon our arrival we were greeted and checked in quickly and efficiently. Our questions about the area, restaurants, etc. were answered and he said he was only a text away if we had any questions at all. This was impressive to me and I was grateful. The sunsets were gorgeous and we were happy we brought our camera. We did not use the pool or the many hammocks and chairs on the grounds but we're happy they were there. We enjoyed the dock and porch area just outside our room and we are looking forward to coming back next year! This resort does not charge for parking or a resort fee which we appreciated and is located 10 to 15 minutes from a Publix in case you would like to purchase items for the kitchen. CVS is near the Publix too. This is a wonderful old style Florida resort that doesn't nickel and dime you for everything. We already have reservations for next year! read more

Awesome resort! Landscaping is beautiful. Grounds are spotless. We stayed in a studio with full kitchen attached to a bedroom. Units 9 &10. So much room. Very very clean and comfortable. Really nice heated pool. There's a dock, tiki bar for plenty to sit at. Also a boat ramp if you bring your boat. There's a coin operated laundry that works great! So convenient. Barbecue grill at each unit. Nice porch with table and chairs. So relaxing and laid back. The way the keys should be. Can't wait to come back. read more

Coral Bay Resort - Hotels Near Me - Islamorada, Florida

This is the second time we have stayed at the Coral Bay Resort. The staff is just as friendly as before and go out of thier way to help. The rooms are still extremely clean. The resort is spectacular, peaceful and a well kept secret. The amount of life around the property is amazing. Iguanas, love birds, a cat, wild birds and plety of fish including large Parrot Fish in the wave pool. They offer free docking for your boat which is a very nice convenience. The only thing with the ramp is you need to back your truck and boat down a roadway to get to the dock which is not a big deal at all. We stayed in two different rooms during this trip and the move was very easy. The first room was the "motel room" (room 10) and it was big enough for us and we would have been fine with the room however we wanted a kitchen. We moved to a double queen room (room 3) with a kitchen and we did not even use the kitchen to cook. Both rooms were very clean and decorated very similar. We would happily stay in either room. We will definitely be staying at the resort again! read more

Paradise on a budget (read notes) Review of Coral Bay Resort Pending review Can't say enough about how much I enjoyed this place, but here is what I liked, what I loved and what was just so-so: -Loved the pool-I swear I thought it was heated...so I only used it at night. -Loved the pier and the ability to swim in a cove. -Loved the fact that you can see almost every star in the universe from that pool -Loved Linda, her no-nonsense attitude. She's prob. not going to kiss your ass...but tell you how things ARE on her terms. I like people that are straight shooters-especially at mom n pop places. -Loved that we had a full kitchen. -Loved Islamorada...both the location and the word. This was our first time and I think both my girlfriend and I appreciate the upper and middle keys as much, if not more than Key West. Key West is cool-but it's like little Vegas. Everyone wants your money and it's filled with adults acting like kids-particularly if it's middle aged men traveling without the spouse. Just give me a beach that is pleasant and maybe a cocktail or two. -I liked the property-nothing too far...nice plants...but not stuffy at all. -I liked that I felt I could leave things unlocked...everyone who stays here is typically here for a handful of days...we still locked up but I think if we did a little longer we would have stopped doing that. We also travel with laptops and tech stuff. -The bathroom tile could have been improved-we are not nitpicky but it's time to change that linoleum in #7 -Wish you could shut the lights out by the pool for better star gazing. All in all-Excellent Stay and wish we could have done longer. I would def. consider coming here for a longer visit. No this, this is almost like staying in an AirBnB. This is a simple place with great access to the water, a nice pool and basic cottage. If you've stayed at an aging beach cottage or aging ski-cottage you have a good idea of what to expect. The beauty is in where you are geographically, not the accommodations. Also staying here you are supporting a real Floridian and not some company. I mix it up-but this place was very real and we still loved it. We met some nice people and we weren't even there long. A week and they would have had to get the sheriff to get me out of there! read more

Hidden resort just South of 2 if the best sunset locations in Key West. Very wellcoming, heated pool, bay water 80°. read more

A beautiful resort where you can get away from it all. The grounds are immaculately landscaped and maintained. The views are inspiring. You have to pinch yourself as a reminder you are still in Florida and not the South Pacific. The cottages are great and the docks take you out to all the prime local spots. read more

We were a party of two with a short 4 day stay and it was impeccable, tropical, the short stay was maximized by their attention to detailed that had honed to perfection with a feel that is hard to match. read more

We stayed in #15. 1 bedroom. First night exhausted after a day of traveling and get ready for bed and pull down blanket and there are live and dead bugs everywhere on sheets and under sheets. ALIVE and crawling!!!!!! on bed, under mattress behind bed on floor. Couldn't get a hold of property manager as I didn't see emergency number on a plastic card and kept calling and emailing main number. My husband had to sleep on a single blow up mattress with our 9 yr old son and I slept on the pull out with my 23 yr. daughter. The manager Randy gave us a refund of 2 nights. Ok well let me tell you what we had to go through on that first night not even that refund was worth it. Felt like bugs were crawling on us everywhere. ugh :( They come next day to clean and well still didn't feel ok with it. NO other rooms available. Entire next day exhausted as none of us slept good. Fast forward to a couple days later we come in after dinner out and again exhausted after a day in the sun and pool and go back to the room and it is COMPLETELY FLOODED in the bathroom about 1/4 inch of water and seeped into the bedroom. Now it is 11 p.m. my son is tired and falls asleep and property manager comes ar 11:30 and tells us cannot be an easy fix we have to move to another room for the night. We have to wake up our son and move across the street to #5 while all our stuff is still in #15. It is now midnight and the TV in #5 goes off and on ALL night long. When is this nightmare going to stop is all we thought to ourselves. Our son is a Type 1 Diabetic and at 3 am I had to walk back to #15 because his sugar went low to get him juice. The next day we went back to #15 because that is where all our stuff was and had to walk back and forth to #5 to use the bathroom until after noon the next day. Talk about a complete and utter inconvenience. We were told we would receive a refund for this night ALSO and nope he called me and told me we would receive nothing for this night which is so unacceptable I cannot even put into words. There are small holes at both the front and back door and assuming that is how the lizards are getting into the place. Florida has them I get that alot of them but when you keep seeing them in the your place after you caught them and threw them out just another terrible inconvenience. One was behind the toaster and literally jumped out and almost gave me a heart attack. There are window air conditioners and at night place is comfortable but during the day they cannot keep up and place cannot get below 75 and sometimes even higher. It is with a heavy heart writing this review I don't usually do this but I felt I need to warn people and I would want to read the same if I were looking to stay here. Our trip was literally ruined too many sleepless nights and when you spend the money we did all you want is peace quiet and relaxation which didn't happen here. read more

I just wanted to comment on the excellent customer service I received from Linda. We had to cancel a reservation about a week before we were to come down. I fully expected to loose my deposit,instead Linda told me they would hold it for 1 year for me,minus a $20.00 fee,as they want to encourage us to come back. I was completely surprised,being in a customer service industry, I understand the importance of making clients happy and encouraging repeat business,I also find it lacking in many businesses. We have been to Coral Bay over the years and loved it,a small clean,quite getaway in the beautiful Keys. We plan on going as soon as possible and just wanted to thank them for their understanding and for being the great place they are. read more

I made our reservation with Angie and she was very friendly and helpful. Upon check in we were greeted by Linda, who was also very friendly and helpful. As others have said the rooms are dated and could use some tlc. The property is beautiful with a nice pool as well as a walk in lagoon area. You will also see some iguanas roaming around the property. There is a tiki hut on the dock which is very nice to sit and watch the sunset. There are grills if you want to cook any fish that you may have caught while visiting. There are also several beach chairs on the property if you would like to catch some rays. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this resort and would definitely stay again! read more
