My husband and I stayed here last October for our wedding anniversary…read more We had a wonderful time, and I thought the staff were very kind and accommodating. They gave us a bottle of champagne to celebrate our anniversary. We use the on-site bikes for a day, cruise, and went kayaking. We spent a lot of time at the pool, and I appreciated the wind blocks that kept you toasty and warm while storms passed through. We also enjoyed the food trucks on site and market full of so many treasures. I didn't care for the outdoor seating area outside of our room because it got really buggy (we stayed in the cabin closest to the road). We also noticed several sand fleas in the lounging area by the beach, and got chewed up on our legs. Ick! At the end of the day, we would definitely go back.

The entire property was renovated with high-end materials, furnishings and decor. We got The Beach front cottages next to each others, some good friends of ours traveled with my husband and myself. It was perfect. Very low-key. They recommended Midway café, and oh my gosh, such a great find! Maybe a 3 to five minute walk from the cottages! They also gave us recommendations and I don't remember the name. We walked across the street for dinner the first night the second night we Uber to another place down the road. We'll be back!

We opted to stay in Casa Thorn as a quieter alternative to Key West. We splurged on the Secret…read moreGarden room, a gorgeous room with a private patio and entrance. First off, the B&B is one of a kind. Thorn has assembled an incredible array of artifacts from her travels around the world, everything from original Tiffany lamps to Balinese furniture to Vegas showgirl outfits. It's like your grandma's house, if you had the world's coolest grandma. Be sure to poke around the main house and ask to see the other rooms, if they're unoccupied. The caretakers will be happy to oblige, and they know plenty of stories behind the objects. Back to the Secret Garden Room. The pictures on the website do it justice. That headboard is incredible. The walls are all almost all glass, opening to let in the fresh Florida air. It's very secluded from the rest of the house, with a private patio for breakfast. The semi-outdoor shower is fun but does tend to get the bathroom floor very wet. The fridge is handy if you visit the local restaurants and have leftovers (you will). The breakfasts were good, and it was nice to enjoy them privately. The caretakers schedule a time tor coffee service, and give you about a half hour to sip it and relax before bringing breakfast. The caretakers will give you a pass to the town beach, which is about 15 minute walk, and is a quiet alternative to any of the busy public beaches on the Keys. The house features a small unheated pool, but it didn't get much action in February. (We used it happily, as the temperature was about as good as it gets in Boston.) It also has a small roof deck, though we didn't spend much time there.

Booked the hotel very last minute for very much impromptu trip that we decided…read more The hotel is fairly nice and good. We arrived noon and check in was not until 4. Unfortunately due to sanitation protocol we could not check in to our room earlier but that was ok. I would rather wait for the room to be clean and sanitized than rush them. We were allowed to use all hotel amenities which was great and time just flew by. We used the kayaks and paddle boards. There was different activities for the kids and they stayed occupied and were not bored at all. One thing to note is that The hotel pool is very small and water was very murky. I did not let my kids get In because it did not look clean. Also, because the pool is super small, you can't stay socially distant from people. But the hotel been at the beach you don't need pool to be honest. Plenty activity to do at beach side. The room was nice, clean and fairly spacious. The bed was very comfortable but the pillows on the other hand were huge and felt uncomfortable. Overall, location of hotel is great. There is restaurants, Publix and CVS near it. Plenty things to see and do around.

I called back just to let Julianna know I'm taking my business elsewhere based on how her customer service was so poor on a simple phone call.

How hard is it to treat people with kindness who want to spend their money in your property.

She showed us all around the apartment downstairs and how the lights, fans, air con works etc. Although there's no kitchen, there a coffee machine, toaster oven, microwave with a bagel toaster in the side, plenty of tea and coffee and heaps of snacks. There were some beers in the fridge that we were welcome to have too! There were plenty of beach towels to use and a drying rack put out so we would hang them up after using them. There's a little jetty out the back that you can sit and have a coffee in the morning or a drink at night. There was also a fire place out the back & wood. She warned us that sometimes great big iguana's hang out in the garden. She made us feel very welcome. Her husband even gave us a great trip for lunch (Chad's) that was close by and fantastic. The bathroom is small but complete with toiletries and a good size for two people to share. The rest of the apartment is quite large. Lots of toys and things to use as well. Although it downstars from someone's house, it was very private and comfortable. We left our iPhone charger behind and forgot to get our souvenir hat which she happily posted to us as well. All round a great experience.

We've stayed at the Barnacle six times over the years and loved it. It was full of various colors…read moreand interesting knick-knacks that helped create a wonderful "Keys funky" atmosphere. It sits on its own beach and is very quiet and serene. Breakfasts were an "event" with hot egg and meat breakfast dishes, fresh fruit and a variety of breads along with juice and bottomless coffee served in an atrium that was open to the skies and full of rocks and plants. The Barnacle is now under new ownership and the atmosphere has changed dramatically. We recently stayed there for six nights, from a Tuesday to the next Monday. Gone are the varied colors, rocks and plants. The atrium is now roofed over and has all the charm of a high-school cafeteria. The color is primarily beige as is the experience. Breakfast is now serve-yourself cold continental. Saturday and Sunday were "special" because, without any warning, explanation, apology or compensation, there was no breakfast at all. Not a scrap to be found nor anyone from management or staff to provide it. We were left completely alone to our own devices. Good luck. There are some other changes to the Barnacle as well, specifically the posted warnings "This property is under 24-hour surveillance" with cameras to boot. There's even one on the rooftop sundeck which seems not only intrusive but not a little bit creepy as well. All this was ours for the premium price of $450 per night. They get two stars because it was clean, the AC in the room worked and the bed was comfortable. But that's where the "good news" ends. Over the years, we've recommended to many people that they should stay at the Barnacle. Now, and it pains us to say this, we have to recommend you don't.

Looking up hotels and we snagged the last room, pure luck. Ocean front, with a balcony, large room - more than enough for my family of 3. Our room had covered parking which was awesome. They offered free kayaks, bikes and paddle boards. They have a dock where you can fish off of and a great spot to see the sunset. We enjoyed our quick stay and will come back! They have a restaurant on site which was really good. Had some apps and drinks, 10/10. Only complaint is, the bathroom lights weren't bright and one light wasn't working. Overall great pick!

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.

DR has a nice little beach area, not so much a swimming beach but beautiful with ample access to lounge chairs and kayaks. It was a special treat to have several deer wander up at various times during our stay....magical. As Eco conscious vegans we especially loved the the food!!

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.

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.
