Late Saturday we got caught in traffic and could not make it all the way to Key West. On top of that it started pouring rain. So we stopped right after the “stretch” as the locals call the 18 Miles between the main land and the first island. The island was called Gilbert’s resort and is a tiny little place... more

This is a really cool place. It is on an island with a private beach. While I was there I had a nice escape, meet wonderful people and had a great time with them. The tiki bar was a lot of fun with live entertainment. I like the beach, but I am not a fan of the sand, so having... more

I booked the "hotel" for two nigths online though a travel agent. (It was the only one I could find for Suturday night and this made me a bit worried). They overcharded it 15% of the price given by the agent. All the buildings were too old. The room was even worse. The bathroom was disgusting. The wash basin was... more

We live in Florida and we have stayed all over Florida and we have NEVER experienced what happen at Gilbert's "Resort". The images on line for this resort is extremely MISLEADING!! The resort is in shambles. The first room we got was hot and muggy with a broken refrigerator. The second room wasn't much better. The bathroom was disgusting. The... more

I stayed at Gilbert's resort for several days with my dog and my cat. Gilbert's resort is a self-contained island of paradaise. The restaurant is open 7 days a week. The pool and the beach are awesome. Spending sunsets on the beach with my dog were the absolute best. The tiki bar is a fantastic place to meet other singles.... more

We have a friend who will be playing in a band at Gilbert's on July 3rd and 4th. We live in Ft Lauderdale so thought it would be a great idea to go for the holiday weekend. The website looked really nice and the rooms on the water sounded great - and we have a dog and they are pet-friendly.... more

We made a stop at Gilbert's Tiki Bar on our way to Key Largo. You must have their fish sandwich! It is sooooooooooo goood! Other than that, it is an average tiki bar. more

We were SUPPOSED to check into Gilbert's on March 27th. However, when we drove into the "Resort" (I use that term loosely!), we were floored! The place was so rundown, it looked like it should be condemned and torn down. We went into the lobby to "check-in" and there was a sign that said we could check our room if... more

My friends and I went to Gilberts because we were only staying a mile away and wanted a casual dinner and drinks. We had the tall skinny waiter "Jim". The place was not crowded but he ran around like he was swamped. The service was slow, he got our appetizers wrong, he got our dinners wrong, he forgot our drink... more
