This hotel offers a quaint and peaceful escape with a lovely beach vibe and clean accommodations. The larger rooms provide comfort and great views, while the staff is courteous and welcoming. However, there are some drawbacks, like limited beach options and a kitchenette that could use better facilities. Overall, it's a relaxing spot if you're looking to unwind.

I had a very mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, providing a nice escape during our stay. However, the service from the owners was incredibly disrespectful and left a sour taste in my mouth. The amenities were decent, with nice facilities, but the overall atmosphere was marred by the owners' rude behavior. Definitely not the relaxing getaway I was hoping for.

I had a wonderful stay at Sands of Islamorada, which offered a peaceful and quiet atmosphere while still being close to great fishing spots and local eateries. The rooms were tidy and well-maintained, providing a comfortable retreat. However, I was a bit disappointed by the upkeep of certain amenities and found the late check-out policy to be a bit rigid, which affected my overall experience. Still, the incredible sunrises and the friendly owner made it all worthwhile.

My stay was filled with nostalgia as I revisited a place my family enjoyed years ago, and I was pleased to see the thoughtful updates made to the property. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but I did experience some minor issues like inconsistent coffee supplies. The unique charm of this place, combined with its quiet atmosphere and beautiful views, really stood out to me. However, I did notice that the management's over-attentiveness and a few other operational quirks could be off-putting for some guests.

My stay had its ups and downs. On one hand, the location is perfect right on the water and the room was spacious and clean, making it a comfortable base for my vacation. On the other hand, there were quite a few annoyances, like an ant issue in the kitchenette and limited counter space in the bathroom, which made it feel overpriced. The amenities could use improvement to enhance the overall experience.
