Upper Matecumbe Key, Islamorada hotel rooms at the Independent

"Breakfast very good! Staff great. Beautiful pools. Rooms are above average but need updating."

"Property was truly beautiful with friendly staff and amazing amenities. The free shuttle to the other resorts was a great surprise as well. We took the Rum Runner for breakfast (shout out to Captain Dave and Bruce for being amazing). In my opinion, Amara Cay was the nicest of the three resorts if you’re looking for island luxury and a truly relaxing experience. Will definitely be visiting again!"

"Clean, beautiful, family friendly resort. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be back!"
