What guests say
8.4 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 482 guest reviews
Cheeca Lodge earns consistent praise for its beautifully maintained tropical grounds, friendly staff, and well-kept pools, making it a genuinely relaxing Florida Keys escape. However, a recurring theme across multiple reviews is that the rooms feel dated and overpriced — worn mattresses, tired interiors, and elevated food and drink costs leave some guests questioning the value.
