Beach Hotels in Upper Matecumbe Key, Islamorada

"This isn’t the 4 Seasons but it sure was close for the value. Clean. Great bed. You have to be physically able to handle a lot of steps. Balcony was a nice way to end the day with a glass of wine. Would come here again."

"The name of this place should be Baker’s Cay FAMILY resort. While I totally understand this was not an adults only property, there were screaming kids everywhere. The biggest issue is no soundproofing in the rooms. We were woken in the middle of the night every night and early mornings by a crying baby. We told the front desk after the second night and they said they called our neighbors (why?) and said they didn’t have kids in their room, so make that make sense. They offered a credit- that helped marginally, but is pennies on the dollar compared to what we paid to be there. We checked in on a Wednesday and it was fairly quiet, but that changed the next day. Breakfast on Friday morning was insanity, the furthest thing from peaceful. We found some recluse from kids by the adults only pool (thank god for that), but the pump for the waterfall is so loud you can barely have a conversation. The beaches and water are beautiful, the property is well kept and staff are friendly enough. Areas do get closed off for weddings frequently, so that was frustrating. All food and drink comes with a 20% gratuity added on to make it “convenient for you”. Food and drink are priced like they should be absolutely top notch quality, but I’m sad to say it just wasn’t. The cost of eating and drinking here is absolutely staggering and nothing we had was amazing, justifying the cost. Skip this place and spend more time in Key West. We’ll never recommend this place to anyone and will never be back."

"This little gem was paradise. It might not be the biggest resort around but it had everything you needed. The waterfront area had ample lounges and adirondack deck chairs to allow you to take in the beauty of Buttonwood sound. The rooms are equipped with microwaves, refrigerators, and Keurig machines.. The office has a wonderful coffee maker that grinds and brews your coffee. I have the best cappuccinos every morning. We took advantage of the complementary bicycles and paddle boards. It was our first time in Key largo but the next time, we need a place to relax, this is definitely the place."

"Great hotel great location"

"Wonderful resort. Immaculate grounds. Just a very happy place."

"👍"

"Couldn’t have asked for a nicer place. Literally 5 steps from room door to the sand. Will definitely return."

"Place is a gem. I was below a unit and could hear the neighbors upstairs. Parking was easy if the place wasn’t fully booked, otherwise it was a little tight coming back late at night. Staff was super helpful and accommodating. Room was tidy and clean. Could use some shelving over the toilet for more storage space during the stay for toiletries. Overall I was very happy with my stay here and would book it again. "

"We had the most amazing stay at Amara Cay in Islamorada for our honeymoon! From the moment we arrived, everything felt effortless, relaxing, and truly special. The property is absolutely beautiful—clean, modern, and perfectly captures that laid-back luxury island vibe. The rooms were comfortable and well-kept, with stunning views that made it hard to leave. The pool area and private beach were highlights for us—plenty of space to unwind, with crystal-clear water and the most peaceful atmosphere. It never felt overcrowded, which made it even more enjoyable. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive throughout our stay, always going out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. You can tell they genuinely care about the guest experience. The location is also perfect—close to everything in Islamorada while still feeling like a private escape. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway or just a relaxing trip, this place checks every box. We’ll absolutely be back and couldn’t recommend it more!"
