Can't say enough wonderful things about this place! It was the absolute perfect spot and we can't wait to come back. We came for a wedding and we're able to get connecting rooms with some of my family. That was such a bonus! The beds were very comfortable, staff was awesome. Tiki the resort cat greets you when you arrive.

Stay away, we had to leave after two days of a five day booking due to filth, worms and ants. Should be condemmed by Board of Health. Killed over 60 ants, bugs and worms (In bed too) after first day. Shower had 10-12 ants in it as well as black mold as my wife went to shower, then after talking to the lady at the front desk, she just laughed and said things are what they are. To many other good places to stay in Islamorada so do yourself a favor and go some where else.

So cool!  Crane man!  In the water to the left is where we saw the stingray and shark!

Came down from Boston a week before Thanksgiving. I'm writing this review as a blizzard rages on outside, just dreaming of the weekend my family and I spent down there. The resort was incredibly clean. Customer service was great, super helpful. There are awesome hammocks to chill out in under palm trees by the heated pool. The beds in the room could definitely use an upgrade, but otherwise the other amenities were acceptable. There were plenty of dishes and utensils in our room, A/C was good too. The best part of staying here for me (aside from the perfect weather, beautiful view, amazing pool) was the wildlife. The first night we were there, we were sitting around the table by the end of their docks where there's a spotlight on the water (good spot for boats, my cousin had his docked there for our stay). A 4 foot stingray was hanging out in the water over there. The next night we went down and we saw a shark, twice! So cool! There's also a bunch of mini jellies in that area, and some were in the little closed off lagoon area they have, too. There are iguanas running around and there's cranes, too. I'm not going to see any of this around here unless I go to an aquarium or the zoo. My family and I are definitely planning our next trip back here for some time this year. I am definitely missing it right now as the snow continues on outside.

This place is great. So relaxing and very convenient if you have a boat. It's a blast with kiddos as well.

Nice little resort. Boat ramp, kitchenettes, apartment style rentals with boat parking. They have gotten very strict and don't allow guests who aren't staying at resort or jet skis. They charge extra for each additional person. Nice, cozy but all the rules can be annoying.

Very low key resort. Very old school Florida Keys resort, but that's what we were looking for. We stayed in a basic unit which had two beds, a bathroom with shower, a microwave and small refrigerator. They also have larger units with kitchens, etc. The Wi-Fi was strong and accessible all over the resort. If you have a boat, you can bring it here and they have a dock and a boat ramp. They have a heated pool which we didn't use and a shuffleboard court. The dock has lights on it which allowed us to view lots of sea life. We saw lots of fish, squid, a crab, a cuttlefish and a nurse shark from the dock at night. They don't have an ice maker, but sell bags of ice onsite. The resort was quiet, although I imagine that it may be a little noisier when the resort is full. Only issue was that I asked for no room service because we didn't need it, but they came in anyway. I would request a do not disturb sign next time. The location was in central Islamorada on the bay side. We would stay here again.

The least expensive room available was a One Bedroom King Room Resort View. I was advised I would be charged one night's room and tax approximately $322 (the price was somewhere around this amount) per night. My husband advised on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday the charge did not hit my account. I booked the deposit using a debit card. That following Tuesday morning I called at approximately 7:35 and got routed around to three different people who told me they could not find my reservation, couldn't/wouldn't make me a new reservation and then sent to in house reservations. After getting passed around by three different people I kept trying to make a reservation to correct the reservation that was clearly not made on Friday and my call was disconnected. I called back immediately and the person who answered the phone seemed to know who I was and not only would not help me make a reservation, told me NO. She would not make the reservation; it had to go through in house reservations. I then asked if I should call back at a later hour assuming no one would be in in-house reservations and she said yes. When I called back at 8:50AM Tuesday, a lovely person was able to help me however, the least expensive room in the wedding block was almost $900 for an oceanfront room. I had to settle for a Golf Course with two queen beds for $100 more than my original reservation. I understand things happen but I am very upset that my now room is far away from the resort for a lesser room at $100 more per night and the appalling treatment I received from three members of the staff on Tuesday morning. I sent this exact letter to guest services on Friday May 7th to explain and try and get back my original room and to be put back in the block. I have no idea how Cheeca Lodge managed to lose my first reservation but I am disappointed. I haven't heard a single thing from the resort since.

We recently stayed at Sunset Inn in Islamorada and had a mixed experience. On the positive side,…read morethe room was clean and well-maintained, and the check-in process was very smooth and hassle-free, which we appreciated after a long day of travel. However, we felt that the property is quite highly priced for what it offers. Unfortunately, our comfort was affected by a few issues in the room--the bed made noticeable noise even with slight movement, which made it difficult to get a good night's sleep. Additionally, the air conditioner was quite loud, adding to the disturbance. Overall, while the cleanliness and easy check-in were definite positives, the noise issues and pricing did not quite match our expectations.

Well known and respected member of the community, the Sunset Inn was an interesting stay…read more Easy with check-in, parking was a breeze, and the unit was accessible to physically challenged. The hotel itself was very clean, and the room looked like it was recently remodeled. The bed had a European style bottom on it where I kept hitting my ankle and toes. The mattress was kind of soft, but the pillows were really nice and comfortable. The bathroom looked rather old, and the shower itself didn't have a door on it. So you risk getting water onto the bathroom on the floor when you're just taking a normal shower. I liked the rear room door which led to the pool area. The pool was a saltwater type and very inviting. This was a major plus for this Inn. Get the towels from the front office and pick a nice spot around the pool. This area really was well done Shopping is a breeze with the Publix grocery store just one mile south. Many great choices for restaurants are all within 2 miles. There are no places to cook inside the unit, but there is a microwave outback in case you wanna warm something. A small refrigerator is provided along with a coffee maker and Keurig coffee pods. Try not to book a room facing the street, as it gets rather noisy at night. Also, foot traffic during was rather loud up until midnight. There is a great value in staying here as the price for rooms are very reasonable. I think I paid $136 for the night. The two women at check-in were very polite and attentive to my needs. Questions were answered, I think I would stay here again if I didn't have a room up against the highway. Be sure to inquire first.

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.

As Hilton Gold members, we were fortunate to receive a small room upgrade at booking, which we definitely appreciated. Let me start with the highlights the resort amenities are wonderful, especially for families. There were plenty of complimentary activities for kids during the day, and even fun nighttime events like dancing that were adorable and well thought out. It truly felt family-friendly, and there was always something going on to keep everyone entertained. The cutest was Santa pics with cookies and milk! The staff was attentive and kind throughout our stay, and honestly, that goes a long way. Great service can elevate an entire experience, and they really delivered on that front. That said, at nearly $1,000 per night during peak season, I did expect the facilities and rooms to be in better condition. The property has so much potential, but parts of it felt a bit rundown for the price point. The rooms could use some attention and deeper cleaning. I completely understand that this is a beachfront resort and sand is inevitable however we noticed quite a bit of sand throughout the room, even on the bed when it had been freshly made. I've stayed at other beach resorts where housekeeping was a bit more thorough in that regard. However nothing crazy but cleanliness is big in my book. One morning, there was also a cockroach at the coffee cart. My husband reported it right away to the front desk. The next few mornings the cart wasn't out, and I'm assuming they were addressing the situation, which I appreciate but it was still a bit off-putting. The on-site restaurants were good not extraordinary, but enjoyable and I felt the pricing there was fair considering it's a resort property. Overall, we had a great experience. The resort has incredible potential, and with a little more attention to upkeep especially considering the premium nightly rate it could easily be a five-star stay. The friendly staff and activities made a big difference.

Do not expect anything special. No concierge level, no decent free coffee service and when you buy…read moresomething such as food and drink there is a 20% service charge and high prices to begin with. And don't forget the tax man as he is expensive as well. We had coffee from the coffee truck in the lobby and for a regular coffee and a latte it was $21 with the fees. 2 drinks at the pool was $42 with the fees and 2 apps from the bar last night was $50 with a $5 tip. Total rip off for what you get. We have stayed at Hiltons in 16 countries including the Grand Wailea Maui and have never seen these types of numbers. 10+ years as a Diamond with Hilton and this is a shameful experience. It would be different if the rooms made up for it but they are no better than a redone drive up motel as it is noisy all night long with halls open to the parking lot.

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
