    Beautiful Hotel, Awesome experience thank you. Love the Rum Runner Shuttle, Captain Dave & Kristen Best experience bring us back and forth to Three Waters. Can't wait to come back.

    We arrived yesterday after a beautiful drive from Miami. Staff was very welcoming and got us checked in quickly. It's nice and quiet and we have the resort almost to ourselves. Very clean, our room is nice with an ocean view. Kayaks, bikes, and paddle boards are available for guest use. We stopped at the pool bar for a mocktail right before they closed, and Gayle was very nice and chatted with us for a bit. So far it's great, I look forward to enjoying our next few days here.

    Visited for a day as a bday gift, this resort is located in Islamorada, less than two hours driving from Hollywood Florida. When we arrived the staff member welcomed us and gave us our wrist band, he explained about the amenities and direct us to Joe the water activities staff member. Unfortunately we were not able to use our paddle boards because of the weather conditions. (wind was very strong). We hang out at the beach and later on at the pool. The property is really nice, plenty of chairs at the beach area, and Joe was very helpful, he showed us where the bar, pool and restroom was located. There were two bathrooms available, during my visit I noticed the faucet in the women's bathroom needed attention because every time you opened it, It comes off place and there wasn't a changing table for little kids inside the bathroom, no shower inside or amenities available either. The pool area was nice and the bar had a limited amount available of cocktails and food choices. We ordered two zero alcohol piña coladas, the bartender was very nice and attentive.

    Booked through Costco Travel, we got a fair price for a 4 night, 3 day stay in a garden view room that included a car rental. We enjoyed the large marina and white sandy beach area found here for play, sun and fun. The garden room is basic, could use some updating but everything worked well enough. The resort offers complementary kayaking, paddle boards and bikes along with lawn games. They offer some daily activities you can choose to participate in. We liked the 2 hr fishing activity with Patrick. He supplies everything needed to fish off the marina and shares his fishing know how all for tips. The staff at La Siesta are all very friendly and helpful. Thank you to Odane found in the lobby, Gail at the pool bar, and to the staff in activities and rentals. All terrific and made our stay memorable. Another must is breakfast at The Midway Cafe. It's a short walk from La Siesta and offers great coffee, tasty breakfast, lunch and pastry items. We came here every morning for breakfast and great service from friendly staff. Order the biscuits and gravy if that's your guilty pleasure. It's unbelievably good.

    A couple of things to note that inched this to 4 stars for us: we aren't resort people, so we appreciated that there wasn't a big restaurant and bar attracting crowds, and we also stayed for 2 nights midweek during the end of Nov, so the place wasn't busy...definitely a plus for us. We stayed in a cottage, which also helped because we could just walk right out to the pool or "beach" area which was super convenient. Cornhole was literally 15 feet from our door so it felt like we had our own playground. The interior of the cottage itself was a little underwhelming, but the basics were fine. Bed was comfy, AC worked, TV was big. We took full advantage of the perks- used the kayaks, swam in the pool for hours (often having it all to ourselves), played cornhole, watched the sunrise and sunset, etc. Never ordered anything from Wild & Lime because we stocked up on booze and sandwiches at Publix. We did use the free shuttle to venture to the Tiki Bar at Postcard Inn one day for a few hours and our shuttle driver was awesome! Also appreciated all the helpful staff! These 2 nights were in the middle of 10 days of a FL trip and we appreciated the downtime and relaxation. If you aren't expecting a resort that is poppin off the whole time and want to be able to enjoy some chill time you'll probably enjoy La Siesta!

    Marilyn made our stay better than we could have hoped for. The location and amenities are incredible. We had some specific needs for our stay and Marilyn helped us get everything, and more, than we needed! So we decided to stay an extra week here. This place is just the right size for relaxation and everyone treats you in a personal and hospitable way. Included SUP paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing, bicycles, nice pool, beautiful beach. Marilyn treated us extra well so we were happy to spend more money and time here.

    We stayed here with a big group of people and the resort was surprisingly a great spot! All the rooms have recently been remodeled. The beds & pillows were very comfortable and the rooms all smelled fresh. Most places next to the ocean deal with musky smell problems, but this resort was totally clean. Our party mostly hung out at the pool. Evelyn was our server all weekend and she took such good care of us. She was super friendly, professional, and nice. We never had to ask for anything. She was 100% on top of it. The pool area is very nice. Looks like a brand new infinity pool. We brought a huge floaty with us and played with that & the frisbee all weekend. This resort is owned by the same owners of Amara Cay and the Post card inn. Amara Cay is a higher version of La Siesta. But Amara Cay doesn't have full kitchens. If you're looking for the family get away with a kitchen, this is your spot. Some rooms have a full kitchen, and others just have a sink, counter, and small fridge. Handicap? If you have trouble walking up stairs ask for a floor unit. They do not have an elevator. From what I could tell, most units have a great view. Beach: the keys really don't have much of beach. It's super clear/shallow water. Bike and walking path: you can walk or bike on the path next to the road. It's a great way to fit in that workout. Tips: Buy one of those huge inflatable floaties from amazon and bring it with you! You can bring food and drinks but the food at the bar was actually really good. I recommend ordering the fish tacos. They do not sell Liquor at La Siesta. So bring your own. Go paddle boarding or kayaking! The water is very clear and shallow. You don't have to be an expert to go. If you fall- just stand up. Lol Bring sunblock and bug spray. You can buy fresh fish from the fishermen at the dock.

    It was my BF Birthday festivities and I booked one night at Siesta Resort. Once we arrived I was welcomed by the manager named Michael. He was really awesome and the staff was great! We recieved our wrist bands and had early access to the amenities. While we waited for our room to be ready we decided to lounge by the pool and later went out on the paddle boards to enjoy the sunset (included with stay). Catherine that worked by the pool passing out towels was a complete sweetheart. Our room was so spacious and included a full wrap around balcony with a small kitchenette. The room looked remodeled and very clean. One of the negatives for me was they don't have an ice maker. You must purchase the ice from the front desk that's about $3 a bag. Overall my stay was great. Highly recommended.

    Was lucky enough to leave Jersey for a week and after 3 days in DisneyWorld, spend 3 1/2 days at La Siesta Resort in Islamorada, Florida. Left Boca Raton )stopped by to see my old College roommate who I've known for close to 50 years) on Wednesday morning and drove straight through, except for a stop at Everglades Alligator Farm. More on that in another review. Called ahead and check on was 4pm. Okay! Got there around 3pm. There were several upset guests in the office who had been waiting for their rooms. Some from NY, just by their rudeness. They told us with the economy the way it was, they were having difficulty cleaning all the rooms for 4pm. I understand perfectly and whole we we're driving, commercials on the radio pleading for people to work!! I don't blame this establishment at All! We met Sarah at the front desk, who grew up in the Cayman Islands and we talked about Scuba Diving. GREAT person, very friendly and she shared plenty of local information. THANKS! Then there was Daniel. One of the nicest people I've ever met. Gave us dinner ideas and a coupon or two. The Resort is centrally located and they had a shuttle to places within a 2 mile radius. Fantastic, so I didn't have to drive and could have a few Island cocktails. The driver was fantastic. On time and a playlist to die for.... Lol The other advantage is you get a wristband that lets you visit and use some facilities at their 3 sister resorts. Just up the road, from La Siesta Resort is their sister resort, which has a beautiful TIKI BAR and a sign that's enormous. Checkout was easy and hated to leave. The pool was phenomenal and warm. Clean water with a hint of sea salt and chlorine. Unfortunately their TIKI BAR was closed. Next time.

    We rolled into Islamorada without a reservation during the slow season. La Siesta wasn't our first stop but it's where we decided to stay. Diamond was kind enough to walk us in to a couple of different room choices for our 5 night stay. We ended up with a great room overlooking the pool and the ocean. Perfect! Price was very good as well. I chatted with another group staying here who went out every day to fish. This was their fifth year at the same hotel and they love it. They were able to go from boat to pool within 5 minutes. Location is great and rooms are very nice. It's not the JW. Marriott but neither are the prices! Thanks La Siesta. We'll be back soon!

    Let me begin by saying that La Siesta Resort and Marina is the place to go for a well-deserved vacation. It's surpassed my expectations, the rooms are spacious with modern and comfortable furniture. We stayed in the two story townhouse and Wowsers, it sure did accommodate our family. The pool was crystal clear, the service impeccable. Bartender is a hoot, friendly and makes you feel so welcome. There are lots of water sports available, chickee huts, and hammocks for those that want to sway under a palm tree with a good book. This really is the resort to visit, you won't be disappointed.

    Loved this resort! Will definitely be back. Driving in you felt like your were on a little tropical island. Very clean, nice staff. I loved having the options of using the bikes, kayaks, and golf at the sister resort. It was too windy, so we weren't able to use the paddle boards. Nice to wake up and walk down to see the sunrise. The resort is located to many restaurants and Robby's, so the drives are short. Loved it!

    I found another favorite . This place was super clean and family friendly... not only welcoming my kids but also my dog . We spent just a couple of days here... but they were enough to feel relaxed and recharged. Take me any given weekend

A special thank you to our concierge, Anne, who was absolutely wonderful. She took the time to recommend family-friendly activities both at the lodge and around Islamorada, and her recommendations made our trip even more memorable. One of the best things about Cheeca Lodge is that there's truly something for everyone. We loved that we could paddleboard, kayak, ride bikes, fish off the iconic pier, relax by one of the three beautiful oceanfront pools, or simply enjoy the incredible views. There's even complimentary golf, which we didn't have time to take advantage of this trip. Our lagoon-view room was beautiful, peaceful, and impeccably maintained. The entire property is stunning, secure with gated entry, and offers complimentary parking throughout your stay. We also had an amazing experience at Mia Cucina, the Italian restaurant on site. The food was excellent, but what really stood out was the staff. The chefs were so kind and welcoming to our kids, making dinner feel extra special. The complimentary 24-hour shuttle was another huge plus, making it easy to explore the area without worrying about driving. There's also a 24-hour convenience store right across the street, which came in handy more than once. Islamorada ended up being the perfect destination for our family. It has such a relaxed, laid-back feel while still offering plenty to do. If you're looking for a luxury resort where you can truly unwind, spend quality time with family, and enjoy exceptional hospitality, Cheeca Lodge is it. Thank you to Anne and the entire Cheeca Lodge team for an unforgettable stay. We can't wait to return!

Check in was quick, and very friendly with recommendations. Our room was on the second floor again, this time an ocean front and wow - it's worth it. We had the courtyard view last time and it's also a very pretty view - you can't lose. The pool area and bar is so wonderful - very scenic, and the service at the bar is great. They have a great menu for lunch options that they bring out to you. The room was very clean, modern, and spacious. You can request a microwave if you need too! There are bikes, paddle boards, and kayaks for rental for free. Lots of things going on in between the three resorts - we wish we'd had a chance to try the yoga! We will be back for years to come.

After 3 days my wife had to threaten the front desk staff with using towels to wipe her ass if the maids didn't restock the toilet paper in our room. Totally unacceptable for a resort. They kept assuring us the rooms service maids were coming in daily, but they never did until she threatened to come down and make a scene. The staff seemed unmotivated to complete even the basic cleaning tasks. We only asked for two coffee k cups, clean towels and the two room garbage cans to be emptied on a daily basis. That was just too demanding and the staff tried to mean-mug us when we came and went but finally got it done for the final two days of our visit. I'd advise you visit another property because the service is nonexistent and a total disappointment. Their on site restaurant was a joke as well. Completely overpriced and out of touch given the location. Every other restaurant we visited in the area was excellent, but theirs was almost always empty. The menu was way overpriced and there were countless local options that were much better and less expensive. Nearly all the staff on site see to be unwilling to provide service to customers and displaying a shitty attitude overall. Leadership changes need to take place or this property will crumble. Good location, just bad service with inadequate leadership supervision.

    This resort did not live up to its "exclusive" reputation. The property is entirely non-smoking,…read morewhich was not clearly disclosed at check-in, and there is no designated smoking area at all. The tiki bar does not have a liquor license ( margarita was made with wine), and the food was subpar for the price point (delivered to you in to go containers only with plastic forks). The atmosphere felt chaotic with children running and screaming throughout the property, yet staff were quick to police adults - even interrupting us for quietly playing cards on our own balcony after 7pm. Water sports were another frustration: staff were unfriendly, offered no guidance, and only appeared to yell at guests for touching equipment without a waiver, rather than having someone present to assist when guests of any kind are on the beach. Nothing on the property is open past 7pm, and guests are pushed out of the hot tub before 9pm. Overall, the experience felt overly restrictive, poorly communicated, and not worth the cost. We will not return. I recommend if you are going to spend THAT much money on a property in the keys, book your stay literally anywhere else. Edith is the only member of the staff that's pleasant and worth talking to. Thank you for making this awful stay at least somewhat worth one star

    As I think with all the "resort" type places on Islamorada you really don't even know they are…read morethere driving down US-1. This is especially true for this place as its entrance isn't even on the highway. Coming through the gates you enter your own special quiet world. I had the pleasure of staying in one of the villas and outside of the stairs just to get off the ground floor, and never mind to your bedroom, the place was gorgeous. (Yes, I know this is Florida, it is the coast, and you don't want to have living space on the ground floors) Otherwise, everything was quiet in November. Few people at the pools, almost no one at the beach, and even fewer at the bar. The bar doesn't serve hard liquor (since it doesn't have that kind of license), but it has a good selection of other drinks and some interesting mixes to get around the limitations -- like a sake piña colada. Only staying for a few days and looking for more quiet than adventure I did not take advantage of any water sports or other activities. The "beach" here is okay, but it is the Keys. I don't think you are coming here for world-class beach access.

While our…read morefirst night didn't go as planned, what truly stood out was how quickly and genuinely the management team stepped in to make things right the very next day. That level of care and accountability speaks volumes. This resort is truly a slice of paradise, beautiful oceanfront views, gorgeous rooms, bungalows facing the pristine private beach, multiple pools, lush tropical grounds, on-site dining, and endless activities that make it impossible to get bored. Whether you're lounging by the water, enjoying a cocktail at the bar, biking around the property, or just soaking in the peaceful island vibe, there's something for everyone. It's a slow pace ñ, relaxing feel; like you're on your own private island. Although we weren't able to kayak or fully enjoy the beach due to sargassum during our stay, it just gives us the perfect reason to come back and experience it all next time! But what made our stay unforgettable was the PEOPLE. A huge heartfelt thank you for superb customer service and for being such a kind, dog-loving resort family; it meant the world to us traveling with our pup. Angela, Dolce, Vanessa, Josh, William, your love for animals and leadership clearly shines through your incredible team; your attention to detail, warmth, and friendliness elevated our entire experience. Charlene, our incredible server at the Tides; you have a wonderful future ahead, thank you for all the love and attention you poured out to us and Bane! You didn't all just meet our expectations; you exceeded them. We truly could not have asked for a better way to celebrate our special day, and we are already looking forward to coming back. Food for thought; the yellowtail snapper fish sandwich at the Tides was incredible and so was the smash burger. The pina coladas were fantastic too. We weren't a fan of the Drift restaurant although it was pretty; the food at the tides bar was much better; think of elevated Bar food but freshly curated. Most importantly they are dog friendly ( no breed or weight restrictions) ; make sure your dog is well trained. We took our big boy and he felt like a prince with his complimentary Islander Bandana and fire hydrant poop bag dispenser; but he is a quiet boy and well behaved . The resort will not tolerate bad behaved dogs or barkers. So please don't ruin it for the rest of us that have well behaved, big dogs, get banned because others don't know how to control their own four legged children.

Almost felt like they do that so you sit at the bar and spend $$. At least that was the story that was going around the bar as everyone else had gone through the same thing. Bartenders were super nice and attentive. Your bill includes the gratuity, which we had to remember a few times. Really cool private pier that you can walk out on. The rooms were the perfect size. Tons of outdoor space. We could see the ocean from our back door, which was an added bonus. Really enjoyed our stay!
