Sands of Islamorada

It was great when we first arrived but we were informed that they had a great boat ramp which was perfect for us because we were bringing our boat so our family could have a great time. When we arrived and drove down the rocky Sandy driveway to the boat ramp there was no way to turn around to put the boat in not to mention the boat ramp was horribly unmaintained. It took us over an hour and a half just to be able to back up to the front entrance of the hotel since we had a boat on the back and we had to navigate sharp turns and other people's vehicles. On the second day we reversed the boat all the way back down to the ramp was able to get the boat in the water and went out for the day but in coming back there was no access back to the ramp because of the tide. When we managed to get the trailer into the water and get the boat on because the ramp had no concrete our boat trailer and truck got stuck in the ocean sand. We spent 2 hours trying to get it out with no luck. We had to pay $100 to the hotel next door to have one of their guys come and get us out and they had to drive our boat around to their dock. This experience alone ruined the vacation. With all the aggravation they also charged us $50 extra dollars because we left some dirty dishes in the sink. The Breezy Palm next door told us that the Sands of Islamorada have been lying to customers for 2 years about putting in a proper boat ramp and deck

Great getaway! Perfect low-key, no-frills spot but at the same time clean and comfortable. The family suite was a great size and adorable. A few things could be updated (shower head, water pressure, AC or vent in bathroom) but, overall, the resort was great and the views and location were perfect. Perfect Florida Keys spot with amazing sunrise views over the water. It is also super dog friendly, which was very important for this fur baby mama!
