Cheeca Lodge & Spa

The hotel was amazing and the room had an ocean view Private beach access. It was clean. The food and drinks were amazing. Jessica at the front desk catered to all our needs and did a great job.

We loved, loved, loved Cheeca! I wouldn't stay anywhere else in the Keys! The location is fabulous, not only within the Keys (pretty central) but also within Islamorada (fun places and good food close by, if you even leave the resort...). Our room was beautiful and so peaceful! Our room was about as far from the shore as you could stay but we thought that was perfect...short, beautiful walk to the shore/beach; near the Spa pool and a Jacuzzi tub; quieter than anything right on the ocean front; great price! And, the amenities that are included are so much fun...kayaks, paddle boards; tennis; 9-hole golf course (all equipment provided) and more! Obviously, I can't say enough good things. I will add, we worked with Jessica Wood and she took such wonderful care of us! Thanks to Jessica, we even extended our stay. Oh, don't miss the sunset cruise, it's extra but so worth it!!

We stayed in the newer oceanfront hotel rooms. The views and walk out beach access from the first floor level was lovely and so convenient. The service from EVERYONE from arrival to departure was a solid 10. The food service from Atlantic Edge was a bit slow, but hey, we are in the Keys, right? :-) Reaching room service by phone nearly always a challenge. But after placing our order, the tray arrived promptly, as ordered. And our server was delightful. I definitely recommend based on my experience and will return!

The wait staff in the restaurant and bar provided some of the worst service in a very long time. If I ever stay at Cheeca again I will not patronize the restaurants or bar. And I will not recommend Cheeca to others for that reason.

We arrived at the Cheeca Lodge during a rare cold snap in the Keys. Our room was 55 degrees on arrival, and to our dismay, had no heat. No heating equipment at all. This is a violation of Florida law, which requires proper heating in hotel rooms. As a lifelong Florida resident, I realize how rare it is to complain about a hotel room being too cold. But our room became so cold that it was not habitable. There was no attempt by management to provide alternative accommodations (we were told that many rooms did not have heat), and the blankets provided were thin and smelly. We had to leave the hotel at 7 pm and find other accommodations. So disappointing.
