Cheeca Lodge & Spa

Cheeca Lodge is in a unique location on Islamorada with a private beach. The facilities are good with some signs of use. We enjoyed a penthouse suite which was exceptional. It is a good family resort. It appeared that many of the staff were new and could benefit from training in customer service and customer respect. We experienced minor difficulty with dinner reservations on Friday and Saturday evening. We highly recommend making dinner reservations well in advance for those nights. This resort has potential to be a 4 star or even a 5 star resort. We wish them the best as they seek to improve.

We recently returned from our yearly trip to Cheeca Lodge. We have a family of 5 with three young children and have been coming here for several years and always look forward to coming back. We stay in one of the two bedroom casitas and have always had the best time. The casitas are a unique experience beyond the typical hotel as they have a dedicated, private space for those guests, which tends to be less busy and more relaxed. On that property there is a private casitas pool that is never crowded and many times we have to ourselves. There is direct access to the beach where lounge chairs and water activities (kayaks and paddleboards) are waiting. The casitas themselves are a wonderful space that is fully appointed with a kitchen that includes a full size fridge and range/ oven so that we can cook our own meals if we want a low key evening. We also love that they have a washer/ dryer combo so that we can do laundry on the last day and bring clean clothes home to avoid piles of dirty laundry when we get home. The casitas also have a dedicated butler service that always greets us with a smile and texts us daily asking what they can do for us. Elijah and Mr Devine were fantastic! We are always feel at home and very well taken care of by everybody there, but the casitas manager, Taylor, is amazing and she always goes above and beyond to make our stay incredible! She knew that it was our anniversary during this event trip and she sent chocolate covered strawberries and champagne, which we enjoyed on the upstairs patio outside of our room on the last evening of our trip. Our vacations at Cheeca lodge are something that we will continue to look forward to for many years to come.

We had the best baby moon relaxing at Cheeca! A special shoutout to Tyanna P. who went above and beyond to make our trip special.

Beautiful hotel, lacking in some of the execution of 5 star service. Update the rooms that are not in the main lodge. Similar pricing but not the same quality.

Unfortunately, this resort did not meet our expectations. The staff is extremely friendly and courteous. But, everything else is just so so…. Our room was super dinky- and felt dirty. Our carpet was crusty with stains. The shower barely work with low water pressure and our toilet kept backing up and requiring maintenance. Also- the double doors that “could” open from the bath tub with glass need to be removed. They can’t open bc a bed is there and when you turn on the bathroom light it projects through the glass and at night disturbs those that are sleeping. Also for some reason there were dead bees everywhere and about 15 on the patio ceiling. The pools were fine- nothing super special. The restaurants, the same. The family games and equipment is located in a remote place out of sight, and in my opinion should be out on the beach to encourage use. Scheduled activities were limited and boring. I had to inquire about yoga etc bc those were listed in the displayed sheet.last year we stayed at Isla Bella on Marathon Key- we will likely go back there.
