As some of the other reviewers have accurately pointed out, there is a lack of attention to housekeeping....meaning: tidying up public areas, cleaning up rubbish, leaf blowing and collecting dead foliage and beach cleaning. I actually stepped on glass and there was a dirty used glass full of cigarette butts left on the beach front area all the time I... More

We stayed at the Cheeca for two nights from June 8-10, as the 1st leg of a 6-night Keys vacation. The weather was lousy (and remained so), but we still had a wonderful time. It started with the beautiful drive into the grounds, and our friendly greeting from Earl the gatekeeper. His demeanor and attitude turned out to be the... More

We found the staff to be very nice in all areas. A nice welcome at check in with a glass of champagne. The grounds are beautiful, room was nicely decorated and clean. We ate several meals at the restaurants and had good food at every one. The prices were what I would expect at a resort, not unusually high. There... More

We enjoyed reading your review. It’s so nice to hear that you loved Cheeca and found our staff, grounds and restaurants to be up to your high standards. We do have a lot of activities for families here at Cheeca, including Camp Cheeca for kids 5-12. However, with 27 lushly landscaped acres and a 1,100 palm-fringed beach, we do have... More

I booked through priceline and was content until I Found out about the $40/day "resort fee" which is not included in your agreed upon price. But, I also noticed a trend in the Keys of alot of seedy motel-type places calling themselves "resorts", probably to catch their own extra fees. Lucky for us, Cheeca Lodge was indeed a beautiful resort... More

We almost decided not to come back to Cheeca based on some of the reviews we had read, but our last stay was so enjoyable, we decided to go for it. We stayed in the main lodge and our room was every bit as nice as two years ago. The room was a Premier King and was lovely. It was... More

Service was better than outstanding if that is possible. EVERY staff member greeted us with a smile at every turn. All of the activities were fun and interesting. Check out the adults only lap pool near the Spa. We are still talking about the food, the views, we just can't say enough about Cheeca..
