Cheeca Lodge & Spa

Cheeca Lodge is a stunning ocean-front property that made our mini getaway truly special. We took full advantage of the on-site restaurants, bars and convenient shuttle service. Our one-bedroom king suite was spacious, comfortable and exactly what we were hoping for. The customer service was exceptional from check in to check out. The best meal of our trip was at Atlantic's Edge, surpassing our expectations for fine dining. We truly enjoyed our stay and will be repeat guests in the near future.

Lush, tropical vegetation greet you as you enter the gates of the resort. It looks like paradise until you start driving past old motel-like buildings. Uh oh. Please don’t let my room be in one of those buildings. Proceed to the reception, where you get your first glimpse of the glorious ocean as you’re welcomed with a lovely glass of bubbly. Okay, this is nice! You’re given a wrist band that serves as your room key. Yep… those old motel-like buildings are where the rooms are located. I have a suite. Very spacious with a living room and kitchenette. But be prepared to step back in time. The rooms are clean, but very dated. There’s also a lot of deferred maintenance - low water pressure; warm not hot water; cracked tiles; stained carpet and sofa; rust (I know…we are by the ocean, where things rust quickly). The place just looks tired. Very tired. You can tell it once was really nice. But it’s now past its prime. On the plus side, the pier and ocean views are lovely. The staff is friendly and helpful. The quiet pool area is nice and relaxing. The gym is well equipped and maintained.

Favorite spot in the keys! One of the few luxury resorts that still feels like the keys iykyk

For $1k a night, I expected a 5 star hotel, and instead we got dated grounds, a room that hadn’t been remodeled since 1990, and not very pleasant staff. I booked for our family for a few nights in the keys before our cruise to have a few lux nights, and it was very disappointing. Our bathroom had chipped tile, the handles in our bathroom were broken, and the carpet was dirty. We stayed at a holiday inn in better shape. Maybe we didn’t have the ocean view rooms where they maybe remodeled, but even a lower category should’ve kept up. Would not recommend

I was staying at one of the Casitas this past February. What a treat. Taylor Torres and team were so impressive. They answered the phone each time I called and provided me with everything my guests and I needed including newspapers......which are quite hard to find on the island. Sometimes Taylor brought them for me from Miami on her way to work! It could not have been better including the roses and cheese tray. I have recommended the Casitas to so many of my family and friends.
