Lower Matecumbe Key hotel rooms a the Independent

"Just show up and lay low. Forget all the noise you left behind..."

"La Siesta has so much potential. Beautiful grounds, spacious rooms, pool and views. The front counter staff and bike staff were very nice. Unfortunately they don’t clean up the trash around the compound. To either side of our entrance was trash that had been there before us and Is probably still there. Our room had black sharpie all over the floors. There were no cups, plates, silverware… to use with the small kitchen. The couch and drapes were dirty. The freezer was a block of ice. Need more hangers in the closet. The bicycles, kayaks were not available for use until 9:30am and had to be back by 4pm (hottest part of a Florida day). The snack shack/bar at the pool opened late and closed early. Our room was cleaned once in six days. For the cost I shouldn’t be typing any of this."

"View is what makes this resort worthwhile. The rooms are nice and ours was updated. Huge piece of advice go to Publix and buy some eggs and bagels and make your own breakfast especially since there’s a kitchen in the rooms. The breakfast included is not worth your time. The restaurant where it’s served is very old and unkept and smelled very bad. There was one person taking orders, making food, and serving food. That was our only regret was not making breakfast on our own. Staff was nice, view was amazing. Just that restaurant/ breakfast area that killed it for us."

"The resort itself was fine. The staff was very busy, a bit overwhelmed and slow as a result. The townhouse we were put in was dirty, outdated, with a broken family room tv, sliding doors that are impossible to lock or broken and bedrooms so very small with furniture too large, it was impossible to change in the bedroom. The doors did not stay open and u could not stand in bathroom at the sink with door open. We asked for someone to come out and fix tv, no one came. Garbage outside that smelled and no one emptied. The townhome needs a paint job and a good cleaning at the very least. Definitely not our best stay at Hawks Cay. "

"its perfect the only thinf i notice on the shower the water pressure was not to good but overall everythjnf was great"

"Un lugar super especial para disfrutar en familia.muy cómodo todo"

"checkin was bumpy. both rooms werent ready at the same time and we were initially put into different building. I objected and they obliged but still had to wait for 2nd room either way. 1st room in furthest corner of resort, fan broken, a/c was repaired during 1st night & also the sliding door lock was broken and took some effort of 1hr wait for engineer to fix. we never opened it again because he said it might not lock if we did. 2nd room guests were happy woth their room except the party separation & wait to get in and settled. We also asked for more towels mid day 2nd day …the towels never arrived informed checkout. they really didnt seem bothered by it. cost alot with little value in my opinion."

"The room was amazing. Bed was the most comfortable bed ever! Property was beautiful but due to Mother Nature with the seaweed and smell that was completely out of their hands and impossible to deal with. Would definitely stay here again!"

"Rooms were nice, clean. Staff was helpful and friendly."
