What guests say
9 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 1,255 guest reviews
Islander Resort earns consistently strong sentiment for its beautifully appointed bungalow rooms, peaceful atmosphere, and warm, attentive staff that repeatedly win guests over. However, a notable minority flagged practical frustrations — particularly the seaweed-affected beach limiting swimming, inconsistent housekeeping, and on-site food and drinks seen as overpriced with mandatory gratuity. Overall, it delivers a relaxing, resort-quality experience in the Florida Keys, with a few operational rough edges worth knowing before you book.
