My wife was sick and could not come so they refunded one of our tickets. They really know what they are doing. The catamaran was wonderful. We saw a nurse shark, yellow tail, Sargent Majors, grunts, etc... Also for bottled water they charge a humble fee of $1 per bottle. In fact I paid for 2 and ended up getting 2 more free because they were out of small change. They are a real class act. We will be booking with them again.

What more can you ask for? Oh yeah....Gas, Bait, Snacks, Clothing, etc etc etc We took out the 2015 Cobia 237 center console...great boat! When we arrived, we were promptly greeted and welcomed. Brock introduced us to the boat and began a detailed overview of what this baby could do for us. He took his time and answered any questions we had. He also politely advised us of the importance of being good boaters while respecting the waterways! Elite truly cares about their staff, boats, waterways and most importantly their customers. Prices are respective. Good, clean and well maintained vessels. If you are looking for a beater boat and don't respect the waterways and all of the other boaters out there...please look elsewhere! Great big shout out to Ryan, Brock and the whole Elite team! Great Job! You have new friends! See you again in a few weeks! Teddy G and friends

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.

I have been staying at Amara Cay for more than a decade, going back to when it was still a Hampton…read moreInn, and it has always been one of my favorite places in the Florida Keys. Unfortunately, this experience was extremely disappointing. The day before my trip, I came down with a cold and decided not to travel. At the same time, I accidentally dropped my phone in the pool and could not make calls. I immediately used my tablet to email both Booking.com and Amara Cay to cancel my reservation. Despite my efforts, the cancellation was not properly handled. When I finally got a replacement phone and called 24 hours later, I was passed back and forth between Amara Cay and Booking.com with no resolution. I was ultimately charged for both nights as a "no-show." Even more frustrating, according to the stated policy, a no-show should result in a charge for one night, not two. Amara Cay later emailed me twice saying they would look into the matter, but no one ever followed up. After more than ten years of being a loyal guest, I am very disappointed. Unfortunately, this experience has caused me to cross Amara Cay off my list. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this hotel to others.

You have paddle boards, kayaks, bicycles, plus several other activities on site. Coming during school time also makes it even better since no influx of kids will be on the premises.

From the moment we arrived at Islander Resort, we knew we were in for something special. 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.
