I love this resort and have stayed here a few times. This resort is lacking a hot tub.

The hotel is so pretty and clean. I loved the ocean view room that we booked. The views are spectacular. I also liked the burger place at the hotel and the pool. Overall, it was a great stay here.

Alton at the Tiki Hut is The Man! He was so sweet and just a total pleasure to be around. We hung out with him for almost an entire day. Excellent service on his part. The woman at the front desk was very unfriendly and would shake her head no to us before we even could ask a question. This went on for two days. It was so rude and just bizarre. Also the walls are paper thin and the room next door had children so that was annoying. We love kids but don’t want to listen to tantrums from our room when trying to sleep. Or furthurore I was worried about disturbing them when coming in after having a night out. So because of those things it was not relaxing. The property is beautiful and we really enjoyed it but would definitely check out something else if it were comparable because of the issues I mentioned.

Great on the ocean resort!

Pros: Service, amenities, bed, tiki bar, heated pool.
Cons: Add another corn hole set. Make some of the pillows more firm.
Location: Easy access to everything- food, restaurants, shopping, boating, kayaking.
Stayed at Amara Cay from Saturday through Tuesday. Excellent resort hotel with all the amenities needed and friendly staff. We flew into MIA and drove to Islamorada- about 1.5 hours. Arrived one hours earlier than we were supposed and got right into our room which over looked the courtyard, pool and tiki bar. It also has an excellent ocean view while affording good protection from the wind which made sitting on the balcony and enjoying a morning coffee very pleasant. Kuerig one coffee maker in the room with multiple choices of coffee and real cream- not powder. Bed was great- firm as I like it- pillows could have been more firm, but there were plenty there so no big deal. Big (50"?) flat screen TV was nice even though we didn't use it much. Bathroom was great- the in mirror light could have been brighter, but again, not a big deal. The whole room was tiled which I prefer at the beach anyway. The private beach- which is actually sand behind the retainer wall, was excellent. Lots of lounge chairs there and at the heated pool. Plus extra non-lounge chairs too. There was a turf grass area with croquet and ping pong available. There was a corn hole set on the beach... this was the most used item- probably ought to set up another. Overall a fantastic experience- we will go back!!

Nice and Relaxing Resort

We stayed at Amara Cay for 3 nights. The facilities were very nice and we especially enjoyed the outdoor pool area. The beach area was beautiful for sitting back and relaxing. The only negative comments I have are for some of the staff. The woman bar tender was rude and dismissive. When we went up to order, she was so busy shmoozing a male patron that she kept ignoring us. We had questions about the menu and she would give us vague answers and then kept going back to the guy. It was almost impossible to place an order with her. Besides the experience we had with particular employee, the rest of the staff was very friendly an attentive. I would go back to this resort,
