I've stayed at this resort many times over the past several years and consider it my home away from home. It is easy to find and has everything you need within a few miles. Bring some groceries and a boat and you won't have to leave. The quite and peaceful resort setting has picture perfect sunrise views, tropical plants, pool with waterfall, marina with ramp for smaller boats around 22' or less.

Dear Magda and Paul, Thank you for making Rachel and Ben's wedding so special. The location is wonderful and the effort and thought that went into making everything perfect for them was truly fantastic. In particular, I have to say that Magda is really gifted with flowers and decor and that everyone at the resort worked really hard to ensure that everyone had a good time. If you want a family wedding that is both relaxed (we got to run the tiki bar all week, which is just as well as the Janke's party hard!) and also very thoughtfully managed then this is the ideal resort. I think some of the negative comments must have been from people expecting an all inclusive style deal but if you are active and like to manage your own time (there is a lot to do on Islamorada and nearby) and can accept that the Keys has a very relaxed pace of life then you will definitely have a good time :) PS Magda say hi to the guinea piggies from me x

It makes me mad to read the nasty reviews left by some - if you are expecting a Hilton, then by gosh STAY at a Hilton (there are plenty of generic box hotels in the Keys). This is a true Keys experience - a spectacular beach area and the lagoon pool is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. Their number one priority is the private wedding and if you do NOT want to be "inconvienienced" by a wedding, then ASK first! Also, the cabins are wonderful (granted, again this is a KEYS experience, not the Westin), private and so incredibly relaxing. It is widely known BRING YOUR OWN FOOD or plan on eating out. If you don't know what to expect, leave your mind open OR check into a 'box' hotel where you know what to expect (sound proof rooms, standard breakfasts, generic pool area). If you really want to know the Keys and the comfort of a family run business, then Coconut Cove is the place for you. Bring the focus of peace, lazy days and tranquil nights....NOT 'where are the elevators, generic breakfast buffet, video games and sterile rooms". This is our second home and we will return every year (my husband and I) and I go twice a year with the 'girls' for long weekends. If you leave a snarkey review, it just proves you have not done your homework, have not researched what a true Keys destination is. And if it was SO bad when you first checked in, I don't recall seeing anyone being held there by gunpoint - so go down the street in either direction and find your generic box hotel - which is sure to please you negative neanderthals. For those who LOVE the Keys and understand the Keys - stay at Coconut Cove, it is heaven and the couple who run it are the resident angels. Choose a cooler time of year if you are not into heat (this IS South Florida) like November through May. Bring your own booze, an open and Zen mind and some books for you and your kids (thought this is really and ADULT place to stay). I am a born here resident of South Florida and this is as good as it gets in the Keys IF you adjust your thinking (like with all of life).

I was in Islamorada, Florida last week for a friends wedding & she had it at the Coconut Cove Resort & Marina. Beautiful place, excellent service, and great scenic view. The only problem with the place is that there is limited room availability. There aren't very many rooms to begin with, most of the other rooms, the beds were uncomfortable...it may be difficult to fit large parties there. Other than that, the place was superb!!! Highly recommend for anyone who wants to have a destination wedding in Florida! It's PERFECT!
