Amara Cay Resort

Ameracay is a very nice resort. It's not too far and easily accessible. It gas a nice tiki brand beach as well as a very nice courtyard with game areas and firepits. The resort is in an area that has iguanas. These are harmless if left alone. Make sure yiu balcony door is shut so a curious iguana does not visit. You also should ve aware that in case of a cold snap, iguanas fall from trees. As long as they don't hit you in the head again they are harmless. Visited the outside bar fi a sandwich. Everything in the Keys cost more so prices are moderate. We shared a sandwich with no issues. The lobby area is very nice with suspended swinging chairs. Decorations are "islandish" which is appropriate. There is a selfie wall which has keys mounted. There is also a wall mounted magnetic Scrapple game. There are nice restaurants within walking distance. Both Midway and Lazy Boys were busy. If you go out for dinner, expect moderate wait. Staff was exceptionally nice and helpful. The resort has a very snLl gift shop. Not much for men unless you need a bathing suit. The only problem was the entire area was having water issues. There was no hot water in the room. I would stay again. It's about half the cost of staying in Key West. There are places very close by if you want to plY in, on, or under the water. It may be possible to book a ride out to Alligator Reef Lighthouse via a service near by. Lots of places to hop on a fishing boat. The water off Islamadora is a nationally protected coral reef. Make sure you know what you can and can't do on the reef. The resort does not allow drone flying on property. You might be able to fly from a nearby bridge. I will probably visit again.

Beautiful clean and well maintained outdoor and indoor areas. The outdoor dining, tiki hut bar, and beach areas have a tropical Hawaii type feeling to it. Would love to stay there again.

We loved the property. The only thing I would add is a little bit more life in the pool area. There was no music at all. Something like relaxing music, nothing too noisy or loud. We went for a holiday weekend and would have a appreciated a little more spirit. Otherwise it was a pleasant experience

My jewelry was stolen from my room. Staff not concerned. Never heard back from them!!! Rude noncaring management on front desk day shift 05/14.

Nice for a renovated resort Amara Cay Resort is very nice renovated resort but I feel the price & all the extra charges such as resort fees are excessive.

Beautiful property to relax and unwind. Friendly people everywhere. Only complaint is the lighting in the room. Not much lighting. Rooms are large and comfy and the shampoo, conditioner and bath gel are great!! Thank you!!!
