For a relaxing vacation this is the place. Beautiful grounds and comfortable rooms. The ladies in the office couldn't be nicer and more helpful. Lots of places to eat near by. Beautiful beach, grounds and pool area. We liked it so much we booked another night on our way back home. This is definitely a relaxing place. No bar or... More

Kona Kai is a tropical paradise. My mom and I stayed in what I was told is their "smallest" room. I was expecting a small room but it was definitely NOT SMALL. It was absolutely perfect. This resort is a hidden gem. I will never stay anywhere else in Key Largo and can't wait to go back again. The room... More

This was our first visit to the resort and will not be our last. If you want to get away from the rat race and relax in a lush, tropical setting this is the place to go. The grounds are really a beautiful botanical garden (really). Wildlife and birds abound. You can't help but relax here. It's a place to... More

What a beautiful lush property filled with beautiful plants, art work at every turn, a bit of wildlife and a quiet retreat. We stayed in the Kiwi room. The colors are light and the room is a... More

We came in from the airport late and found we had been upgraded to a suite. Everything was perfect, very clean and Comfortable. Kayaking with the free kayaks and pingpong on the beach completed our all too brief stay. We will be back. Highly recommended.

What a lovely little gem this is. Quiet understatement seems to be the theme in this tropical garden of a resort. We booked a single room for 3 nights and stayed a 4th night because we enjoyed it so much. We love children but when we are not traveling with our families we would rather not deal with all that....
