We absolutely LOVED our stay at Lime Tee Bay Resort in Layton, Long Key FL! No, it's not an…read more$800/night all-inclusive resort in the keys, but that's why we chose it. However, we were completely blown away by how wonderful it was, with so many great amenities on property and beautiful views. We stayed 4 nights in April. This resort is spread out along two sides of the main highway. We chose a king suite with canal view, instead of the waterfront gulf view. The waterfront rooms looked like they have a great view and very easy access to the pool and dock, but we were delighted with our big deck and access to the additional pool area on the canal side. Our room was so spacious and very clean. We took advantage of the free kayaks, and the beach area was surprisingly fun for snorkeling - we saw so much ocean life! This was our first trip to the Keys, and honestly we were so happy just chilling on the deck and taking in the view and breezes, and visiting the beach, that we could have just stayed at the resort the whole time. Staff is super friendly and helpful. We had the "privacy please" tag on the door for most of our stay as we don't require regular tidying and aren't towel hogs, but the cleaning staff saw us on the deck and still asked if we needed anything. Very nice! Front desk staff were great at explaining all the available amenities and answering any questions. The onsite restaurant Florida Boy was just okay. They do serve breakfast, which is very convenient before heading out for the day. We had a fantastic trip to the keys at Lime Tree Bay and can't wait to book our next trip!

This is a great place to stay on the Keys if you want a real laid back experience. It is quiet and…read morepeaceful, except you do hear all the busy traffic. That can't be helped since it is right off the main road! The hotel has a small beach area and a dock. There are plenty of lounge chairs, tables and even a hammock or two. They provide complimentary access to kayaks and paddle boards. There is a nice swimming pool and pickle ball / tennis courts right across the street. The only restaurant in Layton is part of the resort and the food and drinks are good. And of course, the beautiful FL Keys sunsets are part of the package! We had a two bedroom, two bath unit on the second floor. It had a private stair entrance and a large patio that does have an ocean and pool view. The unit is very roomy, on the outdated side as relates to fixtures and appliances, but the beds are comfortable. There is no dishwasher and only one hair dryer. One bedroom has an en-suite and the other bathroom is next to the kitchen, so a bit of a walk during the middle of the night. But, not a big deal for us. Our request for improvement is that the tile floor was filthy, your feet bottoms were black after walking barefoot. Otherwise, we would stay here again. There was a nice mix of families with young kids to retirees.

Nice place overall, and the staff were super nice and helpful. We stayed in cottage #16, but…read moreprobably wouldn't choose that one again. The patio was a bit dark and dingy, with a dirty table, broken blinds inside, and a door and screens that needed fixing. The best part though was the end of the dock -- loved the little Tiki area where you can sit, fish, or just relax watching the boats go by.

There was a large black scorpion in the sleeper sofa and red ants in the beds, they didn't seem to care when we mentioned these things. We have an 18 month old with us and we are lucky she didn't get stung or bit. Wall AC units had dirty filters and the floors feel like they were cleaned with maple syrup. Overpriced for the quality of room too. Not enough silverware in the efficiency units, so bring your own. Awful, we wouldn't stay in this place again if they paid us too. The only nice thing about it is the view and the hammocks in the common area.

There is a full sized kitchen which is unheard of! The unit had more than what we needed for our stay. The suite opened to a little patio and direct access to the water. The waterside area was exceptionally clean, with lots of comfortable seating, hammocks, and BBQs. The pool area was also very clean and the pool itself was heated. Hotel is centrally located with lots of great restaurants a quick drive away. Check in and out were also quick and painless. Cannot wait to visit again!

Mold, active leaks, and zero accountability ruined our 25th anniversary…read moreI am deeply disappointed with our recent stay at Drop Anchor Resort in Islamorada, which was supposed to be a special trip to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. The moment we checked into the #3 room, we were hit with an overwhelming smell of mold. Upon looking around, I noticed water pooling on the floor and began recording video evidence, which clearly captured water actively dripping from the kitchen cabinets and seeping up through the floorboards. The conditions were so unmanageable and unhygienic that we were forced to leave the property that night and return home. I drove back to the resort the following morning to speak directly with management. My husband, who is an engineer, brought his professional tools and moisture reading equipment to test the room. The moisture readings were completely out of range, confirming severe underlying water intrusion and mold growth. Despite the documented health risks, verified moisture readings, and ruined milestone trip, both the property and Expedia denied my request for a refund. To make matters worse, management has made zero attempt to reach out to us since to offer an explanation, an apology, or any resolution. Charging guests for an uninhabitable room with active water damage and then completely ignoring the issue is unacceptable. Save yourself the stress and avoid this property. The property has multiple violations & citations open. I wish I would've read reviews before reserving our stay.

First and foremost your desk person should understand the meaning of Customer service. Without…read moreservice you have not customers. If you hate your job and people maybe stocking shelves at Publix nearby is for you. We were promised our room by 4:00 after checking back numerous times then saying we're really busy it will be done soon just didn't cut it. The hotel was more than half empty so we were intrigued by the excuses. Rooms are big and spacious but stuck in a time frame several years back. They could use an upgrade that's for sure. The free buffet breakfast (not the fault of the team that work there to get you food) your choice in eggs was hard boiled or scrambled. You could get bacon and they had the usual bread choices and a waffle maker. One old dispenser of Cheerios and milk sitting out in a gallon container. Also their daily charges for amenities you won't use or need are outrageous. You can do better

The only downside was that the sign was hard to see when driving back at night, and the entrance is a narrow driveway that fits only one car at a time. Overall, a good and comfortable stay.

We would wake up just before Sunrise so we could walk down the Cabana to see it. And see the beautiful Ocean View and the fishing boats get ready to go Fishing. They have a Crystal clear pool with floats & it surrounded by the ocean. We had a lovely time and we will definitely be back& stay longer. We only stayed 3days & 2 nights. Staff was wonderful. We would walk after the Sunrise get in those Steps

Great location and beautiful views. Parking was convenient (one spot reserved for each unit)…read more Private area for guests to lounge and relax outside overlooking the water. The check in process was easy and escorted to the room by an office staff member. Luckily, we got an early check in at 1:40pm since it's not scheduled until 4:00pm. That seems too late in the day to arrive and get settled. The room was hot upon entering so we turned on the AC right away. I felt the room should have been cooler, especially since we had reservations and staff knew we would be arriving. The room was nice and the full size refrigerator was convenient. However, the room could have easily fit two king size beds instead of two queen size beds. Ample towels were provided, including towels for the pool. Ice trays were empty and I feel this is something that could have been filled up while the room was being cleaned. Kitchen allowed recycling and trash to be sorted so that's a plus! There's one light to control the two rooms of the bathroom which means turning it on at night lights up the entire section of the room and not just a small light for the toilet area. The bathroom did NOT have a hairdryer (even though it was listed as being included in the room) and unfortunately, I didn't realize this until after a shower late at night. I ended up going to bed with wet hair. A tiny size shampoo (smaller than a travel size) was given but a travel size conditioner wasn't available. The room was lacking an ironing board and iron. The TV wouldn't turn on--the screen kept saying use remote to press for input 3 but it never worked. No WiFi code was provided. The office closed at 5:00pm and I wasn't about to call the after hours line since that would mean someone would have to come to the room and look at the TV late at night. I wasn't comfortable with that scenario. It shouldn't be that difficult to turn on the TV. There was only one outlet between both beds and the plug I chose to charge my phone didn't work and this wasn't realized until the morning. Good thing I wasn't relying on my phone for an alarm. This also meant other forms of technology were charging on the floor, out of reach. Given the fact the TV wouldn't turn on, I couldn't just fell asleep watching TV, even on my iPad since the device wouldn't be charged for the way home. Upon arrival, we noticed several ants in the kitchen and bathroom counter. Later in the evening, we noticed an increased number of ants. Not a big deal until the ants ended up in two toiletries bags and everything had to be dumped and cleaned out. It's the little things that make a big difference and I felt Ragged Edge was lacking in some areas, especially given the cost for less than a 24 hour stay. In addition, I would have to pack the items that were said to be available in the room since I definitely need a hairdryer. Obviously, I would have to go without an iron and iron board. Given the location and comparable price for this time of year, I would most likely stay here again but would make sure the TV worked and WiFi passcode was given for our unit at check in.

The units, though, are dismal. The furniture, carpeting and curtains are old and dingy, with dark green carpeting and burgundy curtains and furniture. Because of visibility from one unit into the others, you feel compelled to keep the curtains drawn for privacy, which makes rooms feel very dark. The units have a unique configuration. You walk upstairs to the kitchen and wrap-around porch level, then upstairs again via a spiral staircase to bedrooms, bathrooms and the sitting area. This was not a problem for us, but the group next door included a woman who'd just had foot surgery and she was struggling getting in and out of the unit. You will also need to be able to carry your suitcase up two flights of stairs. Our unit had an updated kitchen, but bathrooms really need updating as well. They are tiny and sad, with shelving and cabinets made of particle board. Location is fine, though you have to drive down a rather industrial road to get to the property. But that hodgepodge seems kind of indicative of the Keys.
