We had a “Keanu Speed” Experience
Pros:

Great experience at this hotel. You can tell when a hotelier pays attention to customer reviews and comments. Things may happen, and excellent customer service means making things right and keeping the customer experience #1. My family of 3 (including a 13 year old) had a great time. The room was spacious, our balcony had a great view of the ocean and the resort staff were friendly & helpful. What more can you ask for!

We really enjoyed everything. Especially the use of bicycles, kayaks, and even a sail boat on property to use at no addi
Pros:

The property is very clean and well kept. You can tell how much everyone really cares for the resort. All the staff is insanely nice and helpful too. We celebrated our honeymoon here and we were welcomed with champagne which was wonderful. Everything was fantastic. Iguanas, tree frogs, and squirrels all around the property which all the staff treat with respect.

Cons:

The bar closes too early and the water did have a lot of seaweed in it, but I think that’s just the season.

Great, but watch out for seaweed !
Pros:

Location and design of villas, good for 6. 8 tight, or 2 small kids. Very nice kitchen, well equipped. BBQ good but in front of garage.

Cons:

Sea view, but our villa was at the back and this could have been better. We need to mention that the seaweed, sargassum, in Florida was very bad at the time of our visit and impacting the fun at the beach ! Hotel cleaned up one a day but no chance and plus the smell at certain spots. Florida, you need to figure something out as this is impacting the value of vacation you can offer.

Pros:

Zimmer super. Personal sehr freundlich, Lager sehr gut zentral, man erhält viele Informationen und Empfehlungen vom Hotel. Hotelanlage sehr grün und gepflegt.

Cons:

Der Pool ist sehr klein und der Strand vom Wasser nicht so schön. Dass es kein Restaurant gibt sondern nur Zimmerservice war noch ok, da es ausreichend Restaurants in Islamorade gibt. Es wäre sehr schön gewesen, wenn die Bar am Pool auch bis 23.00 Uhr geöffnet gewesen wäre. So war das Hotel abends relativ lahm. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, überteuert

An amazing experience and lovely staff, despite the slightly abrupt departure
Pros:

The hotel offers incredible amenities and a beautiful structure that truly makes it feel like a home away from home. The rooms are incredibly spacious, and the staff made the stay even more special with their kindness.

Cons:

Everything about our stay was wonderful, with one notable exception. We felt rushed when housekeeping knocked at exactly 11:02 AM on our departure day; it felt a bit like being kicked out just as we were closing our bags. It was a disappointing end to an otherwise amazing experience.

Highly recommended if you’re looking for a modern, upscale, and relaxing Keys getaway.
Pros:

Our stay at Isla Morada Resort was excellent—easily one of the top places to stay in the Keys, and it’s clear why it’s so highly rated.

The property itself is stunning. The grounds are lush, meticulously maintained, and feel like a private tropical retreat. Every detail—from the landscaping to the layout—creates a sense of calm and exclusivity. The buildings are relatively new, and it shows: everything feels modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed.

We stayed in an Ocean Suite on the second floor, and the space was impressive—easily around 1,000 square feet. The layout was functional and comfortable, with a large bedroom, a spacious bathroom with dual sinks and a generous shower (hot water almost instantly), and a balcony overlooking the tiki bar, pool, and ocean. Sitting out there in the evening with the breeze and sunset was a highlight.

The amenities are well done without being overbearing. Multiple pools give you options—one more family-oriented near the tiki bar, and another quieter pool that felt almost private during our stay. There’s also a scenic walking path, pickleball courts, a gym, and even covered areas with games for when the weather turns. Bikes and fishing gear are available, and staff are around if you need anything—but otherwise, they let you enjoy the property without constant upselling.

Service was excellent and accommodating. Requests for extra towels and daily sheet changes were handled promptly without issue.

A couple minor drawbacks: parking can be tight, especially near the Ocean Suites, and while food can be ordered and delivered anywhere on the property, there’s no true on-site sit-down restaurant—particularly noticeable at breakfast. Also, for a property at this level, the in-room coffee setup feels like an afterthought and could be upgraded.

That said, these are small critiques in an otherwise outstanding stay. The overall experience is peaceful, polished, and thoughtfully executed.
