Beautiful resort, clean rooms, excellent customer service, so many ammenities! Pools are beautiful and the grounds are very well kept. There is a par 3, 9 hole course. Not tour pristine but all you need for a vacay to hit some balls around. Bicycles, x box, board games, kayak, floating big wheel, paddle board, paddle boats all available to the guests. This was truly a beautiful place to stay in Islamorada. There were just a few negatives, but this is why we have reviews right? If you are staying in a beach bungalow which is absolutely perfect, you can't have your car nearby..there is no parking at the beach bungalows you have to park in the main lot which is quite a walk. Also we brought our boat and felt it took us a few days until we knew how to come in to the dock, it's extremely shallow and difficult to come in or out during low tide. Also finding a place to put your boat in the water is almost impossible. It's crazy I know, we spent 1/2 the day trying to find a ramp, most of them are private or not available to the public. We ended up putting in at Post Card Inn and storing our trailer there $30 to use ramp in and out and $40 per day trailer storage. They close ramp at 6 so the day we left we had to be out before then. Also at Cheeca during low tide The entire beach goes out and dries up so there is only beach area for guests 1/2 the day. There is nothing you can do about Mother Nature though. Also washing down motor and boat can be difficult at Cheeca if there are no spots near the hose. Hoses are only located closer to the shore on the dock. Positive, About a 10 minute drive to alligator reef which is beautiful. Overall we would absolutely stay again just had to use this first trip to gain knowledge for the ins and outs for what is available for boaters here. Small inconveniences absolutely do not rule out how much we loved Cheeca. Smoothies by the pool were delicious, try the key lime smoothie with graham cracker crumbles in it! Continental breakfast is also hearty and fresh, fruits, bacon, grits etc...all you need for a quick balanced breakfast. Bottled waters in rooms are complimentary and re stocked daily. Thank you Cheeca for a wonderful stay!!!! This is a little slice of paradise in Islamorada.

One suggestion for Cheeca;
Upon arrival for guests ask them if they will be docking their boat with you and give them a list of recommended ramps to put boat in the water also direct them to boat trailer storage that I know you have on site (we decided not to use the storage at Cheeca because we needed the trailer readily available at the ramp we used). There is no proper charting for the way in and out of the dock esp during low tide, giving guests a brief recommendation for the path in and out that would be key.

I stayed her over memorial weekend and paid $600 a night for my stay. The lagoon, which people can go in as a small beach was filthy. The room I stayed in was dirty. After my first night out when I returned to the room there was a roach in the bathroom. I took pictures of the roach. The next morning I called to complain and the lady told me "this is the keys there's roaches." I have stayed at Hawks Cay and other resorts at the keys multiple times and had never encountered a roach in the shower. Then with an attitude she asked me if we wanted our room cleaned. I mean obviously!!!!! They ended up giving us a free breakfast coupon, which of course we never used. if they have roaches in the showers I don't even want to imagine whats in their kitchens. Then we went to the pool and they ran out of seat covers, when they finally found one it was dirty and broken. This place is all hype and does not deliver. This is a roach infested over priced nightmare at the keys. if you want to stay at a similar resort with better quality go to Hawks Cay. Moreover, this is the only review I have ever left because my stay was so bad I needed to warn other customers.

Very nice facilities, beautiful lobby, great to be met at the door with a glass of champagne to celebrate the beginning of vacation!!!! Great size room with parking right in front of our building. Wishing we would have stayed longer.
