Amara Cay Resort

Wonderful stay at Amara Cay! We will definitely be back. We were able to bring our dog and enjoyed all the amenities together as a family. Super relaxing and all of the staff were very friendly!

This resort is quaint and wonderful for young families. We appreciated the pool with ocean view. The easy order menus and bar service. My kids loved the paddle boards, daily activity (foam party) and the bicycles. As adults who like to enjoy several cocktails on vacation we had a fond appreciation for quick shuttle rides to our favorite local eateries. My kids shuttled to Siesta key to enjoy the beach and the driver ensured they made their destination and also hung around in case they wanted to head back to the resort. They loved taking rides to the Starbucks and having their own driver waiting for them once they were done.

The area is wonderful, we select this hotel for our son birthday, our Tommy was 513 on 5 floor ,we would like to share this point for the future,needs more waiters today my family had breakfast in the area outside in front of the pool and we waited a long time ,last night at dinner the waiter took 40 minutes to bring the dessert after dinner due to not enough of employees ,in the room The bathroom was not very clean, the shower needs to be scrubbed, it had black parts on the tile on the side of the shower door, balcony was derty and light between bed doesn’t work,Otherwise, it is an excellent place to spend family vacations.thanks so much Zulema Ornelas .

Very nice for families

Arrival to Amara Cay was very welcoming and property was very nice. How hotel room on the other had had an issue. The sofa bed pull out for our child was stained and full of pet hair. The sofa bed had a plain mattress no pillows or sheets. We contacted the desk and a gentleman came and noted the couch and tried to clean it in house but it was far too dirty to clean by hand. He apologized and commented how uncommon this was but the hotel was going through renovations and that the hotel was also booked and no other couch options to replace this badly soiled one was available. The desk apologized but could not assist us. We were forced to have our 14 year old daughter sleep in the king bed with us which made the trip uncomfortable at night time. We booked Amara Cay because we heard good things about the hotel. The only option we had was for a king bed room with pull out sofa at time of booking. The hotel itself and the staff were great. We were very displeased with the condition of the sofa bed and that nothing else could be done.

We have stayed here before but this time it smelled like we were staying down in the basement. It had a horrible mildew smell that was annoying and unpleasant, but room was nice. We had a ground level Lanai and that was my favorite part and worth the extra so we could sit outside and get fresh air. It had 2 lounge chairs with a small table, and 2 chairs to sit on and the view was spectacular as always. They had activities for the kids as it was Easter and we saw the Easter bunny. There was a man at the dock with fishing poles in the morning and the kids were out there fishing too. They also had an Easter brunch but we weren't able to stay. The boutique had really cute things and they sold quality bathing suits.

The hotel is great for families!

It’s a beautiful property and the staff is wonderful. The gentleman for activity rentals was amazing. It’s not a big resort and that was a plus so you’re never feeling crowded. We were able to sit at the fire pit one night, the kids played ping pong and we got chairs at the pool/beach. But… they need to gut the inside. So much mold in the rooms and stairwell. Mold in the bathroom vent and rusty water dripping out. Chunks of tile missing in the bathroom. They told us at check in about the game room and found on our own it’s no longer in existence. And the prices to eat are insane. Easily $120 every meal for 3 people. Some food was amazing and worth the price (lobster bisque) but kids Kraft ma and cheese is not worth the cost nor the aweful Cesar salad. Can’t wait to go back to the Keys but staying elsewhere. It’s just not worth the price.
