Came to the property at 11 AM knew that it was too early to check in but showed up at the front desk. Let them know that we’re here, and we got our wristband. Britney at the front desk said they would call us when the rooms were ready. We had two rooms booked both with two queen beds because we were traveling with kids around 3 o’clock, I received the phone call saying that they oversold the hotel and they had no rooms for us available for us and that they have to move us to a sister property. No compensation was offered not even a complimentary breakfast. We spent 2 hours going from hotel to hotel. We went to the other property in which when we got to the rooms, it was one bed with no couch or anything else for the kids so we had and switch rooms again. We were traveling as a family and had to stay in different buildings across the resort from each other. We were not able to spend the time that we originally wanted to spend together. I would never stay at this hotel again!!! be advised!!

Amara Cay Resort is truly a slice of paradise! Our stay was absolutely perfect — from the moment we checked in, we were greeted by friendly, helpful staff who made us feel right at home. We stayed in an oceanfront hotel room, and the views were nothing short of breathtaking. Waking up to the sound of the waves and watching the sunrise from our balcony was a highlight of the trip. Huge thanks to the entire team at Amara Cay for creating such a memorable experience. We’ll definitely be back!
