Not the best room. Pull out couch isnt sleepable. Screened in balcony is nice. Jacuzzi is right on water - perfect for watching sunset and dolphins, manatee and sharks (yes, we saw a baby hammerhead shark from the dock). Resturant next door is good. Wouldn't go back again, but would be lieing if I said the sunsets weren't beautiful.

We were excited to finally be able to exchange for a place in the Keys. The front desk personnel were quite helpful. Beyond that, the place is quite average. The bed is very firm, but there is a mattress pad, which helps (unlike our hotel in Key West). We neglected to see that the condo only had a 'partial kitchen'; there is no oven. Thank goodness we changed our minds about cooking Thanksgiving dinner in the condo! As noted by others, the hot tub is questionable, most of the jets don't work, but the pool was fine. Perhaps it was the time of year, but we had no problem with noise and too many loud folks in the pool (there were several cars in the parking lot). We, too, were concerned about noise from the highway, but it didn't bother our sleep. We did notice it when sitting out back to enjoy the sunset, but it wasn't overwhelming. We enjoyed the balcony overlooking the water. There were truly beautiful views at sunrise/sunset. We were a bit concerned when we checked in Sunday night and the band in the tiki bar at Gilbert's across the water was VERY loud, but they shut it down at a reasonable hour. We stayed here to be able and enjoy the Keys, particularly snorkeling. The resort is at the far north end of Key Largo, so next time we may try to find a place more centrally located.

The pictures you see are from the back of the hotel. There is no swimming here but thats the case almost everywhere in Key Largo. The views and docks are common in this area and available at virtually every hotel. The rooms are large, no maid service and extensive instructions on what should be cleaned before checkout. The internet service barely works so plan on going to the lobby often if you need it. The lobby is only open a limited time and the only restaurant I saw was always closed. This hotel is right below a large bridge in what can only be described as a ditch. As soon as it rained the road to the hotel and the hotel parking lot was flooded to way above your ankles. Mosquitos and no-see-ums are the worse I've ever seen. This hotel was mediocre at best washing machines and dryer on floor didn't work. There are no skid runners on the stairs and someone fell and had to be taken to the hospital while I was there. I would have left this hotel without any other thought then I'm never staying here again after seeing what else was available in this area, except for my checkout experience. I had to re-enter my room after my husband left the key at the front desk. I went back and asked for the key and gave my room number. The person told me I wasn't staying in that room because they hadn't checked out...you must remember your number wrong. I said no, that's my room. After insisting that wasn't my room for a few minutes I say who do you have in that room. She was very proud to uphold national security and told me that was private. At this point I'm wondering about my credit card getting charged since apparently I haven't checked out and they give you no receipt or any type of paperwork at all during checkout. My friends that had a timeshare week in another room come down to turn in their keys and the girl says thank you Mr Mills, we don't know who Mr. Mills is either. So I ask the girl if she can write me a note saying I'VE checked out and she is sticking with her story she does not want to tell me the name of who was in my room. The fact that the name is of no importance I only want MY name as being checked out seems to escape her. I ask her if she can write a note saying I am checked out but she tells me she can't do that. Right now I have no receipt I checked out, I was refused a letter saying I checked out and as far as I'm concerned they can charge the person whose name they wrote down for this room. If I get a charge bill for more days than was on my charge card or any additional charges I will be updating this review.

Great place, really enjoyed the pool. Yes the elevator did smell but it wasnt like you were in there for a long time. The condo was really nice had lots of space. My only issue was that the bed was really firm. Great location. A short drive and there is a great restaurant that has really good rum runners. Staff was great and helpful. The view was great.
