We really enjoyed our stay. I’m not giving five stars only because I don’t think the property is a true five-star hotel, but it is still very good. The room was clean, the staff was very polite and friendly, and we felt comfortable throughout our stay. Overall, we had a great experience and would gladly come back.

Nice in general, but AC in our room was a bit dicey. (They came to our room 3 times in the night to check it with a ladder).The lady at the front desk said they would issue a refund for the AC problem we had and email me a receipt later that day, but that did not happen, and I had to chase it down.
They did not clean up sargasso from beach on the weekend, so we did not really want to walk down to the water on the \"beach\" when we might have liked to.
The employees were overall very nice and the resort is really pretty, and the girl singer in the am Sunday morning was terrific.

An absolutely beautiful gem tucked in Islamorada. The resort offers so much for a family or couple. This was a family getaway and everyone including young children to teenagers enjoyed the various activities on the grounds. There is bike riding, kayaking, paddle boarding, beach, swimming pools, pickle ball, mini golf, volleyball and s'mores making to name some activities. Danielle was the best employee at the pool side and made our stay enjoyable by being so attentive to my family. The rooms are very clean and spacious. The resort met all of our needs and allowed us some good R&R. We'll be back soon!

I genuinely don’t understand how this property markets itself as a luxury resort. After paying over $700 per night, I would rate it as a 2.5-star hotel at best.

The biggest issue was the sargassum. I understand it’s a natural occurrence, but the beach was covered, the smell was awful, and it didn’t appear the resort was making any meaningful effort to clean it up. If the beach is your biggest selling point, guests deserve to know what they’re booking.

The room looked nothing like the photos. It was basic, the teak furniture was old and worn, everything felt dated, and there was a persistent rotten egg smell inside and outside the room.

Service was equally disappointing. We requested ice and a toothbrush. Someone delivered the ice in a literal trash bag. When I asked about the toothbrush, the front desk told me their shipment hadn’t arrived and suggested I Instacart or DoorDash one. The manager gave me the same response and said toothbrushes aren’t even an amenity they provide.

To top it off, housekeeping was knocking at 9:00 AM on Saturday. After asking them to return later, I opened the door 30 minutes later to find someone painting our door while we were occupying the room.

I’m honestly confused by the glowing reviews. This is not a luxury resort. Between the outdated rooms, unpleasant odor, poor service, lack of basic amenities, and disappointing beach conditions, I would not stay here again.

Overall, our stay at the Islander Resort in Islamorada was just average. The staff was one of the highlights—they were friendly, welcoming, and provided great customer service throughout our visit.

Unfortunately, there were several things that kept this from being an enjoyable stay. There was a strong unpleasant odor around the property for most of our visit, which made it difficult to fully relax. We were also disappointed with the beach. The water view wasn’t as scenic as we expected, and it wasn’t the beautiful beach experience we had hoped for in the Florida Keys.

The amenities were decent but nothing particularly memorable. What made the experience more uncomfortable was that, at times, we felt like we stood out in an unwelcome way. As a Black family, we often felt like people were staring at us, which made the atmosphere feel less inviting and took away from our overall enjoyment.

The resort itself is okay, and the staff deserves recognition for their professionalism. However, because of the odor, the underwhelming beach, and the overall atmosphere we experienced, I don’t think we would choose to stay here again.

Second stay at the Islander. The room they gave me had a non working safe, a broken shelf in the fridge, and a phone that doesn’t call front desk, when I used my cell phone to call them instead of, they never picked up. The top lock to the front door didn’t work.
There was sargassum deteriorating at the shoreline, they hadn’t made the effort to clean it , I took a look at several other properties in the area that were maintaining their shorelines much better. All guest ocean activities were unavailable to me in this trip, so I had to rent from an outside company (Robbie’s) which was amazing. I was very happy with my meals, the property is beautiful, but I think they could be doing more to ensure guest safety in rooms, and better maintenance overall.
Upon checking out these items for mentioned in my express checkout option, and I’ve heard nothing back from them. I will be exploring other resorts in the area before I return to the islander.

Honestly, the resort was nice, however we went during red tide, which really affected the whole trip. The resort STANK. I know it's not their fault, but they really should update their socials or send emails to let people know what's going on in case they want to make changes to their trips. I know we weren't the only family feeling that way. Over head several groups complaining about the same thing. Had the algae not been an issue, it really would've been great. THey have minigolf (which you can still do if you don't mind the stink), 2 pools (again, the smell), paddleboards and kayaks (I didn't see anyone use them, or even go near the beach access because of the algae), basketball, bocce ball, etc. So just be aware, apparently this is the time of year when they get red tide.

Islander Resort... WOW! This place will WOW you in the keys. From the beautifully decorated rooms that are spacious, to the large patios, to the walkable grounds all in white sand and beautifully clean grounds. You will walk from your rooms towards the BEAUTIFUL view of the Florida bay. Incredible view from this resort. Featuring two wonderful pools. The pools aren't very big and I could see them getting crowded in the busy season. Plenty of loungers and the bar by the pools is wonderful. The service amd servers here are wonderful and polite. This place will wow you into returning. I will name this a TOP RESORT IN THE KEYS. Stay here and you will not regret it. Complimentary EVERYTHING, mini golf, beach volley ball, kayaks, paddle boards, pick ball courts, basketball, and more. Enjoy the beach and view! We will be back for sure!

The Drift restaurant was very good, but seemed to skimp out on portions for the price, but that is expected at a resort restaurant. Very good and delicious food though. The cheesecake was exquisite.

Thank you Islander for a wonderful visit on our tour and reviewing of Florida Key resorts.

The resort was wonderful. Very clean. Very well laid out. The pools were never too crowded. The service was top notch. My favorite part was how beautiful the resort was. They must have spent a fortune on landscaping. My wife and I walked up and down the sea shore many of times and really enjoyed that. We also loved the very extensive amount of games and amenities. We were bummed we weren't able to get to them all. I really appreciate having all of those types of things included in our stay. Breakfast on the beach in the restaurant was lovely. Just an incredibly gorgeous view. There is a good chance we will be coming back here to stay.

I paid almost $500 per night, and honestly, this hotel was not worth it at all. I feel like I did not get my money’s worth.

The hotel was extremely dark at night, with none of the activities advertised on the website. The service at both the pool area and the restaurant was not good either.

The room itself showed significant signs of wear and poor maintenance. There were broken picture frames, discolored mirrors, and many small details that simply should not be overlooked when guests are paying this much for a room. For a hotel in this price range, I expected a much higher standard of quality and upkeep.

Overall, I did not enjoy my stay. I would have been much better off choosing a cheaper hotel.

This resort was absolutely amazing and exceeded all of my expectations. We originally booked just one night on our way to Key West, but after experiencing everything the property had to offer, we wished we had stayed much longer.

If we have the opportunity to make this trip again, we would choose to stay here for our entire vacation and simply take a day trip or two to Key West. The resort offers everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable stay, with beautiful surroundings, excellent amenities, and a welcoming atmosphere.

Our only regret is that we didn't spend more time here. This was one of the highlights of our trip, and we would not hesitate to return or recommend it to others looking for the perfect Florida Keys getaway.

The extra special touch was the gift for our anniversary. Breakfast.
