It’s a beautiful property and the staff is wonderful. The gentleman for activity rentals was amazing. It’s not a big resort and that was a plus so you’re never feeling crowded. We were able to sit at the fire pit one night, the kids played ping pong and we got chairs at the pool/beach. But… they need to gut the inside. So much mold in the rooms and stairwell. Mold in the bathroom vent and rusty water dripping out. Chunks of tile missing in the bathroom. They told us at check in about the game room and found on our own it’s no longer in existence. And the prices to eat are insane. Easily $120 every meal for 3 people. Some food was amazing and worth the price (lobster bisque) but kids Kraft ma and cheese is not worth the cost nor the aweful Cesar salad. Can’t wait to go back to the Keys but staying elsewhere. It’s just not worth the price.

The resort offered a gorgeous view and amenities. However, our original room smelled damp and of mold. We ended up changing rooms in the middle of the night to a much better room. Two nights only booked there and that was plenty.

Wonderful Getaway!
We spent a 2 night quick getaway here & I can’t say enough. Amara Cay was comfy, clean, & relaxing. The shuttle service allowed us to relax and enjoy our nights out. We even squeezed in a bit of kayaking & SUP. We will def be back.

I was at the property for 3 nights mid-February and it was amazing. The heated pool was great. The dock fisherman was great. The staff was helpful. I thought the restaurant was overpriced but many other options to choose from. Overall a great place and will be back.
