The common area was very nice, but the pool was very cloudy due to many kids urinating in it. The rooms were upgraded, but the quality of the construction was below average. Great location on the ocean side but overpriced for what you get. Will not be back. too many options in the Keys.

Great stay with family!! The location is perfect! We really enjoyed the Rum Runner water taxi that runs daily to the other resorts. We spent the afternoon at Three Waters Resort. The captain’s Jen and Brianna were so awesome on the Rum Runner!! So knowledgeable and friendly! Our boys loved Patrick who does Fish like a Local fishing out on the dock!! He is so nice!! This was our 2nd stay here and we will definitely be back!!

I was disappointed. During check in, there were 5 people at the front desk yet only one of them was checking people in (she was great) so took longer than it should have. People ahead of me had to wait for their rooms to finished being cleaned despite it being 4pm. I had an ADA room (booked by mistake) and the bathroom was awful. The shower wasn’t deepen enough so the curtain stuck to me. The floor was slopes to the middle of the bathroom so it flooded the bathroom when taking a shower and I ended up having to use towels to create a dam. There was no lid on the toilet and the counter was very small so there was no where to put the dry towel or clothes- esp since no hooks. Also, the toilet paper holder didn’t work because it was hanging by one end. I was shocked and surprised- are all the bathrooms this poorly designed or only the ADA rooms? Other than this- the hotel was lovely. Comfy bed. Pool is awesome. Gorgeous views. Near lots of restaurants.
