We had to change rooms twice since the first room smelled of urine, and had no wifi. The second one had a toilet that didn't flush and the back door was not locking properly. By the time we ended up in our final room it was passed midnight and were too tired to look around. The second day we realized this back door to this room did not work either.

I was very un satisfied with our 2 day stay here. First, we mistakingly made the reservation here, when we tried to change it, we were met with Peter, the very rude hotel concierge. He told me he had the "power" to let us cancel the reservation but wouldn't. Then he refused to call the manager of this hotel. This effectively cost us over 300$ to this hotel.

Again. For your money, this hotel is NOT worth your visit.

It was one of the first resorts on Key West (according to employees) but had a major renovation. It was quaint, but if you seek modern things, you won't get it. The sliding door, that lead to outside, did not lock properly. A shower rod was used as a door jam, but you could easilty tilt the door open. There were no other rooms since it was Memorial Day weekend 2012. To give them credit, a repairman came to the room promptly and intalled a proper door jam. No one complained about this before??? It wasn't a bad place, just a little too far from the action. The costs of cab rides cut into the money that was saved for the low cost room.

I had been rattling with this decision on where to stay for our Key West vacation for months before I booked this place & let me say we were not disappointed! Yes it would be great to have been able to afford a Hilton or Marriot type hotel but as we were celebrating the end of our academic career graduating from UF we needed to save some money.

First off, it was CLEAN!!! That's always my biggest concern w/bargain hotels. The bed was comfortable, nice tv, spacious bathroom, and a fridge. Wish they had a microwave, but still a good deal. The bay view was great & recommend it for anyone who books. Very nice to hangout on the hammock during the day or night. Also had beach chairs on the sand & on the docks.

In terms of excursions, we booked 2 things through the fun desk. 1) night time paddle boarding 2) jet ski tour. Both were awesome & worth the money! My suggestion is to actually get a kayak with a clear bottom for instead of paddle boarding because you are out there for like 90min and very tiring even for pretty in shape people like ourselves. Also you can see more with the clear bottom than on the paddle boards. Don't worry the bay isnt that choppy for you to lose your balance or anything. The jet ski was a lot of fun & definitely just pay for 1 & share it. It too can get tiring & are allowed to switch drivers when you want. We had Robbie A as our guide & he was great! We had us and an older couple on the tour so we really got to do what ever we want. He let us mess around with the skis during our stop at the sandbar, also he was a local & told us a lot of cool stories of what its like growing up in Key West. The fun desk had a lot of other things you could book through them too, if we ever go back we really want to try deep sea fishing.

We never got a chance to eat at the stone crab because my boyfriend really wanted to experience the different restaurants around Duval street & waterfront ones on the marinas. However, it looked like a lot of fun. The only draw back about the Ibis Bay is the location. Very far from downtown & the one night we took a cab to & from was pretty expensive. Would be cool if they had some kind of shuttle service like I observed some of the other hotels doing.

All in all you will not be disappointed with booking here. 2 kids just finishing their masters wanted to celebrate on somewhat of a budget & we did! Think both of us spent around $1200 each including lodging, meals, & excursions. Worth every penny!
