Cute place!

Loved the location of our room-we could easily get coffee and head out to sit and watch the sunrise. Ice machine broken so that was a bummer but the staff was phenomenal especially when allowing us to check in early.

Everything was great until your cleaning staff decided to use a leaf blower at such an early time of the morning, as we were the only guest on the property and were trying to enjoy mimosas and breakfast snacks sitting outside. They had not one care of it being right in our face and around us. That right there turned it all sour Really?

I want to first brag on the housekeeping. They were very polite and the rooms were very clean. They tried to help as no one was in the office the whole time we were there. I left a message, at least 3, with the office we would like to kayak one or two days while we were there. They did not return the call. The kayaks were all under a tarp put away. The pool was dirty on the bottom. No one ever cleaned it up. No one ever came to clean up the beach area.

It was great when we first arrived but we were informed that they had a great boat ramp which was perfect for us because we were bringing our boat so our family could have a great time. When we arrived and drove down the rocky Sandy driveway to the boat ramp there was no way to turn around to put the boat in not to mention the boat ramp was horribly unmaintained. It took us over an hour and a half just to be able to back up to the front entrance of the hotel since we had a boat on the back and we had to navigate sharp turns and other people's vehicles. On the second day we reversed the boat all the way back down to the ramp was able to get the boat in the water and went out for the day but in coming back there was no access back to the ramp because of the tide. When we managed to get the trailer into the water and get the boat on because the ramp had no concrete our boat trailer and truck got stuck in the ocean sand. We spent 2 hours trying to get it out with no luck. We had to pay $100 to the hotel next door to have one of their guys come and get us out and they had to drive our boat around to their dock. This experience alone ruined the vacation. With all the aggravation they also charged us $50 extra dollars because we left some dirty dishes in the sink. The Breezy Palm next door told us that the Sands of Islamorada have been lying to customers for 2 years about putting in a proper boat ramp and deck
