The staff at Rebo Bend was awesome. There were helpful every single time I had a question. The bungalow rooms we had were beautiful, totally updated, clean, and relaxing. We plan on coming back soon. One of the best vacations I’ve ever had. I would give this 10 stars if I could

There were smashed mosquitoes on the walls, and the place smelled terribly. There was no way to access the water unless you waded through tons of smelly brown grass filled with jumping bugs. The restaurant in site smelled like vomit. Would not stay here again. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

Smelly rooms and bad free b-fast service!

The room smelled funky, the bathroom fan cover was gone and not functioning, grout was missing from the shower tiles in some areas, very loud window shaker ac unit, very loud road noise, and lots of trash on the shore line. The disappointing cherry on top - we were told there would be a free breakfast from 0800-10am. We were there at 8am and no one was there, so we sat down by the water until we saw movement up there around 0830. The door was still locked so we knocked on it. A young lady came to the door and said she didn’t know how to open up the place and we can sit wherever we wanted to. We ordered tea and coffee and no menu was offered. 20 mins later she arrives with 2 mugs of hot water and was handling them from their tops! She explained she couldn’t get the coffee make going so we said no thanks and left. When I dropped off the key, and told the young lady about everything all she did was shrug her shoulder and say sorry, have a nice day. Such a crappy experience.

We enjoyed our stay for the most part we booked for a week. However the first room I booked with an ocean view on our 2nd or 3rd day started leaking from the ceiling onto our bed, which was pretty gross. I noticed the stain on the ceiling prior but didn't think much of it until it started leaking, I had assumed it was something that may have happened beforehand that was fixed but I was mistaken. The resort did move us into a different room it wasn't as nice and smelled weird but it worked. We were aimed at enjoying our vacation. They did adjust the cost because it was a cheaper room but not by much. I was disappointed because it was a pretty big inconvenience and I feel like more should have been done seeing that I spent a lot of money to stay there. The private beach was really nice. We enjoyed the use of the amenities. Kayaks, pool, etc. They do a good job keeping the grounds clean. They are attentive I would receive texts asking if I needed anything. They did move us promptly but I would suggest in the future they make sure the rooms they are booking are current on repairs, because when I told them about the leak they already knew because he told me he knew exactly what I was talking about and ended up going over there that evening to fix it and the next morning there were new people in the room we were in. Other than that we had a nice time simply because we tried to make the best of it.

We stayed here after spending 4 nights in Key Largo. The property is an older vacation resort in a great location. We enjoyed hanging outside with a fantastic water view better when the tide is up. The smell of the seagrass at times was a bit harsh, but when you have breezes it's not as bad. The pool is nice and a great place to cool off. We very much enjoyed our 5 night stay here before heading to Key West.
