My wife and I were looking to getaway for the July 4th weekend. After researching and consulting with roughly 15 hotels in Islamorada and Key Largo area, we decided on Ocean Dawn. When compared with other accommodations in the area, Ocean Dawn blows them away. Only months old, it's the newest hotel on the island and offers state of the art, appliances, comtemporary art and furniture. It's provides the high quality interior comforts of a Ritz Carlton, along with a secluded beach and private area for tennis, outside dining, grilling or simply laying on the beach. We enjoyed a large wall unit flat screen TV, a walk-in shower, and glass sliding door that opens up to the beach and sea. We could see the sea from our bed, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We even slept on the quiet secluded beach for a few hours under the stars. I would highly recommend it for couples or small families, wanting to get away from the crowd and noise of the Keys. Mark is a great guy and will work to make your stay the best. He seemed to take a personal interest in our happiness and comfort. That made the experience unique and memorable.
