The facility was very nice. The pool was clean and comfortable. The waterfront was enjoyable. The staff was helpful and friendly. Also an excellent location for people fishing out of Bud and Mary’s. The only down side was our balcony view over a roof top with air conditioning units on it!!

Enjoyed this resort!
My husband and I traveled to Amara Cay Resort for a 4 night stay and were very impressed with the whole experience. The room was very clean and comfortable. The food, drinks and service were excellent as well. We loved the reusable water bottles they gave us at check in, I have never been offered that before and thought it was a smart idea! They also had other great things they offered like a shuttle service and fishing. The beach and pool were beautiful even though it was too chilly for us to utilize the weekend we were here. If you’re traveling to Islamorada for business or vacation we definitely recommend staying at Amara Cay!
