What is rated as a 3/10 would have been a 10/10 if the beachfront was cleaned up.
Pros:

Everything inside the building and room and pool were great. The left us a bottle of bubbly and sweet note for our honeymoon.

Cons:

It was extremely unfortunate that the hundreds of pounds of rotting seaweed were piled on land next to the pool rather than moved or burned. The collection of seaweed made the room, parking lot and pool experience unenjoyable due to the nauseating smell.

Pros:

The pool area was nice. We loved seeing the iguanas roaming around. Bikes were nice. The sunrise was beautiful and we saw it perfectly from our end unit. AC in the room was great.

Cons:

The laundry room was disgraceful. Definitely needs updating. Honestly it was disappointing Havana Jack's wasn't open during the day. Guests were allowed to have a dog on property that they let go wild. The dog was running all over and brought into the pool area. It chased the iguanas into the ocean. The dog was unsupervised.

A very disappointing stay due to the lack of assistance and communication from the hotel.
Pros:

Unfortunately, we did not get the opportunity to enjoy the room or the facilities, as we were unable to access our room and had to stay at another hotel for the night.

Cons:

We were very disappointed by the lack of staff availability and the inability to reach the hotel for assistance at night.

We had a great time at this property and would definitely go back.
Pros:

The staff were nice and very helpful. Everything was clean. There are 2 pools on the property. Plenty of chairs and umbrellas and clean spaces.

Cons:

The only negative was all the seaweed on the beach. You couldn't get in the water there was so much of it. This is absolutely no fault of the hotel. Unfortunately this time of year in the Keys the seaweed situation is impossible.

Great stay at the Glunz
Pros:

We had an amazing week in the Keys with our children, ages 8 and 5 at the Glunz!

Check in was easy and staff were always friendly. We were able to check in slightly early as we arrived earlier than we thought we would, coming from the Ocala area. What a relief, when traveling with children. Staff even gave us some local suggestions for dining.

Our rooms were nicely decorated and beds were comfortable. Linens were crisp, clean, and soft. We had more than enough towels throughout our entire stay. Bath towels were fluffy and soft. The beach towels were wonderful also. Housekeepers were so nice.
Location of the hotel was perfect for us. We were close to restaurants, marina, and we took the kids to the aquarium, which was right over the bridge.
We were lucky enough to be in the sweet spot right before high season starts. We pretty much had the beach and pool to ourselves. At no fault of the hotel, but the beach did become impossible to use, due to the sargassum; which was incredibly offensive to the nose at times. Again, this is no fault of the hotel, its nature.
The only 2 things for us were the air conditioning and shower pressure. And while abit annoying, we still will return and rated this hotel 5 stars because everything else outweighs these 2 things.
The ac control was a bit frustrating; we understand it is a green initiative. 74 degrees was way too warm for the 4 of us in one small space. My husband and I were exhausted from waking up all week long, to turn the AC back down after it would automatically reset every 2 hours.
Especially after being toasty/burnt by the end of the week - we were hot and just wanted to be cool.
The shower was clean and spacious. We wish the water pressure was a bit stronger. I had a hard time rinsing conditioner out of my hair.
