We love the Glunz Ocean Beach Hotel because it is a family owned resort that is family friendly and right on its own private beach. While we were there the water was clean and clear. The views were beautiful. There are two clean and well maintained pools as well as kayaks and bicycles for use of patrons. We also enjoyed the convenience of Havana Jacks restaurant and tiki bar right next door.

The view and location on the beach was great, however the property is older, for a property that charged $500 per night, we expected more. I asked for bottled water and was told I would have to go down the road to a store to purchase, no snacks available, very basic toiletries and towels etc. Nothing wrong with that, if the price point was better.

Ricardo, Thank you for taking time to write a review. Yes, we are an older property like many locations throughout the keys. We do maintain our property. We do not offer water bottles as it does not fall in line with us being eco friendly, we do offer a refilling station with filtered water. We very competitive with other locations that are similar to ours down here in the keys. We do hope that you reconsider giving us another chance in the future.

Mixed feelings about Glunz! We only got to stay one night but if we had had time I'm not sure we would have really liked to. The property was beautiful, staff were awesome. There's some signs of weathering from ocean air but nothing awful. The main problem was we splurged for a room which opened out right onto the beach (which was absolutely beautiful. I wish it had been warm/sunny enough to get in), and wanted to keep the sliding doors open but a couple of times someone was smoking somewhere and the smell came into the room and then was so hard to get rid of. Also for >$800 a night I wasn't expecting one of the chairs to have a large stain and significant signs of scuffing/wear. Otherwise very clean though. The restaurant could be a little loud but they stopped the music pretty early, and there was a really nice fire pit going for late-people to enjoy. The redeeming factor too was they sent a message requesting feedback and when I mentioned these things, I expected a usual "Thank you for comments we'll take into consideration etc." but it seemed like a real human being read them and responded specifically. So would we go back to Glunz? I think we would give them another try. Especially if they designated one building non-smoking or something. You can very quickly fall into relaxation and the peace of the ocean and would love to catch a better warmer week when kids could actually just run out and play on beach/water. The heated pool was excellent though!

Loved the location and amenities. Our room H5 needed repair to door. It was not secure. You could see light through it because it did not seal securely. The sliding glass door to the pool area couldn’t be locked from the outside so it wasn’t useful as it could be. Staff very nice. Offered us a different room but we opted to stay where we were as we had already settled in. But security is a real problem with this room. It was clean and comfortable otherwise and location awesome.

The WIFI is terrible and is almost non-existent in the hotel, so don't expect to get any work done if you must work. The room had numerous issues and needed to be cleaned better. It was musty smelling and needed better hygiene. The access to the beach and pool made this place good, and the staff was excellent throughout the stay.

Very poor for a luxury price
Not like the pics at all. Basically a shabby 1970s type low budget motel advertised as a resort. Dirty room that had a very strong mold smell. Bugs. Hairs in beds. Ceiling fan so loud and unbalanced seemed like it would fall off. Couldn't get AC to work properly. Its got a tiny beachfront but that's about it. All around bad experience for a big price. Never leave reviews but wanted to save someone else from wasting money.

Beautiful area! The private beach was right at he back of the hotel and well kept. There was a beautiful pool and tiki bar available eith restaurant. The desk clerks were very helpful anytime we needed anything. There were kayaks and bicycles available, but i would definitely say the kayaks need replacing. The straps on the 2 individual kayaks' seating were eaten through by salt water and not safe to use. We opted fortheir paddle boards instead. The rooms were cozy and very clean. I onky wish there had been a spare blanket as I got cold each night. Webstayed outside through sunset each night, and it was beautiful, but you definitely need mesquito spray. I will return to this resort if we ever stay in the keys again.
