The resort was lovely and all the staff friendly and helpful. Our room was nice but our ocean view looked over the parking lot and I would ask for a “poolside” view next time as that also gives an Ocean view.

Property is in desperate need of a renovation. The cost of the resort is offset by the ability to visit the sister resorts. Those amenities and facilities far exceeded Amara Cay. Stay at 3 Waters if you can afford it. Worth the additional cost.

This is a great property just wish I had been there longer to enjoy it we were driving to Key West. The beach view is awesome. The Hotel pool bar is great too. We ate breakfast at the outdoor area of the hotel. Took pictures and saw the chickens. This was a great place to stop when headed in or out of the Keys!

Amara Cay

We were down in that area for a wedding. Several/families staying there. Walked in and smelled like must/mold. (According to all families) phone didn’t work, the safe didn’t work, tv didn’t work (after 4 requests fixing it. Not that we watched it a lot…but it’s the point for an expensive “resort”), no hot water in the sink in bathroom to wash hands or face. Offer free coffee in the am but 2 out of 5 days they were out. They were pleasant at the front desk. Tried to get a different room to no avail. And don’t get a 6 oz coke from the squirter outside at the Tiki bar. $5.00 per cup no refills.

It is a nice average resort and a fair price for the cost. Absolutely nothing wrong with the resort; from the staff to the service to the room, all good. From a point of comparison, we usually stay at the the Islander Resort and just decided to try someplace else so we stayed at the Amada Cay. Again nothing wrong or bad but we will be returning to the the Islander Resort. For a few dollars more, the rooms are updated, the parking is better, the resort is larger and better laid out, a better gym. We enjoyed the Amada Cay, nothing wrong but prefer and will return to the Islander Resort.
