We visited Dove Creek Lodge in late March for our Honeymoon. We are young mid 20's couple and we compromised on staying here after reading all of the great reviews we found. We were still hesitant to spend so much money ( the rates are pretty high during Spring Break) but I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. During check in Gwen congratulated us on our marriage and showed us to our room. Inside was an Easter basket for us (seeing as we checked in on Easter day). After exploring the one bedroom suite we reserved we went on a tour of the premesis. The grounds were great. If you are looking however for a beach front hotel, this is not for you. There is a great pool and spa next to two hammocks. This is all enclosed by mangroves and on one side are boat slips. The hotel has been recently renovated and we LOVED the decor. Especially how there is only carpet in the bedroom (makes for a cleaner environment). Throughout our stay we enjoyed the continental breakfast each morning. We never did eat at Snappers due to the reviews. We drove all the way to The Fish Company in Islamorada (behind Wide World of Sports) most nights and enjoyed great food and service their each time as well as a gorgeous view (its on the water and we HIGHLY reccomend this place). My new husband did go on an inshore fishing tour set up by Gwen (she is great), and although he didn't catch anything (the weather was quite windy on our stay) he did have a great time. My husband is also an avid angler so he tends to be picky when guides take him out, but he really enjoyed his trip. This is also how we came about this hotel, through different fishing forums online. I can't say enough great things about this hotel. I can guarantee that every time we visit the Keys, we will be staying here.
