Amara Cay Resort

Ameracay is a very nice resort. It's not too far and easily accessible. It gas a nice tiki brand beach as well as a very nice courtyard with game areas and firepits. The resort is in an area that has iguanas. These are harmless if left alone. Make sure yiu balcony door is shut so a curious iguana does not visit. You also should ve aware that in case of a cold snap, iguanas fall from trees. As long as they don't hit you in the head again they are harmless. Visited the outside bar fi a sandwich. Everything in the Keys cost more so prices are moderate. We shared a sandwich with no issues. The lobby area is very nice with suspended swinging chairs. Decorations are "islandish" which is appropriate. There is a selfie wall which has keys mounted. There is also a wall mounted magnetic Scrapple game. There are nice restaurants within walking distance. Both Midway and Lazy Boys were busy. If you go out for dinner, expect moderate wait. Staff was exceptionally nice and helpful. The resort has a very snLl gift shop. Not much for men unless you need a bathing suit. The only problem was the entire area was having water issues. There was no hot water in the room. I would stay again. It's about half the cost of staying in Key West. There are places very close by if you want to plY in, on, or under the water. It may be possible to book a ride out to Alligator Reef Lighthouse via a service near by. Lots of places to hop on a fishing boat. The water off Islamadora is a nationally protected coral reef. Make sure you know what you can and can't do on the reef. The resort does not allow drone flying on property. You might be able to fly from a nearby bridge. I will probably visit again.

Very nice lobby and pool area. Great service at bar and restaurant. AC in room was a bit noisy. Lighting in rooms was a little dark and the AC in gym could have been turned lower than 75. Staff was very nice, welcoming and always helpful. It is a beautiful hotel.

Absolutely breath taking experience. The only thing I would recommend is for the property to have coffe and water available around the clock and for the pool to stay open past sun down.

It is a nice average resort and a fair price for the cost. Absolutely nothing wrong with the resort; from the staff to the service to the room, all good. From a point of comparison, we usually stay at the the Islander Resort and just decided to try someplace else so we stayed at the Amada Cay. Again nothing wrong or bad but we will be returning to the the Islander Resort. For a few dollars more, the rooms are updated, the parking is better, the resort is larger and better laid out, a better gym. We enjoyed the Amada Cay, nothing wrong but prefer and will return to the Islander Resort.

Nice stay for family activities Great access to the joint hotels by water taxi with access to all the resort entertainment and outdoor activities. We enjoyed kayaking and the pools every day. Downsides: very slow service at the bars and restaurants mainly because not enough workers. At the bar it was almost like they are doing you a favor serve you, picking and choosing who they want to serve first. The bathrooms have nice lights but toilets were badly maintained.

The service was friendly and helpful, the rooms large and comfortable. The restaurants on the premises served delicious food and had a varied menu. The only thing was the shower didn’t contain the water and the whole bathroom floor was totally flooded.
