"We had the most amazing stay at Amara Cay in Islamorada for our honeymoon! From the moment we arrived, everything felt effortless, relaxing, and truly special. The property is absolutely beautiful—clean, modern, and perfectly captures that laid-back luxury island vibe. The rooms were comfortable and well-kept, with stunning views that made it hard to leave. The pool area and private beach were highlights for us—plenty of space to unwind, with crystal-clear water and the most peaceful atmosphere. It never felt overcrowded, which made it even more enjoyable. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive throughout our stay, always going out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. You can tell they genuinely care about the guest experience. The location is also perfect—close to everything in Islamorada while still feeling like a private escape. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway or just a relaxing trip, this place checks every box. We’ll absolutely be back and couldn’t recommend it more!"

"We loved our stay, the staff was very friendly specially the 2 gentlemen that were in the breakfast. The hotel was very well maintained and peaceful. Our room was excellent the only complain I have is the A/C hitting our bed directly. But other than that I would stay here again."

"Nice location and charming motor lodge. Old Florida-feel with great internet, beautiful location on the gulf, kayaks, docks, and nearby restaurants (with great food) that one can walk to. We only stayed one night — but it left us wanting more. Stay there if you can."

"Great property. Our room was extremely cold so we turned the air off and used the ceiling fan."

"It is so hard to know what the vibe of the place is going to be by the photos and other reviews online. I was thankful I picked the right place for my family to vacation at. Rainbow Bend was laid back, small, quiet, private, and low key. I think they only have like 22 rooms.This was our first time to the Florida Keys and I was so happy to stay right in the middle of the Keys just outside of Marathon! We enjoyed the Rainbow Bend property very much. We could have breakfast under palm trees with an ocean view, pretty fantastic if you ask me. Heavyn and Joy were great resort hosts! Our beach view lodging had a patio area, kitchen, dining area, pull out sofa, master bedroom, and a very nice bathroom. It was just perfect! Thank you for a relaxing vacation! "

"Lush, tropical paradise! Resort was beautiful, room was tropical modern and perfectly clean, bed and pillows were comfortable, food and drinks were great, pools and amenities were wonderful. Highly recommend!!"

"Room was great! Didn't like the fact you could order food at their restaurant and take tour leftovers back but no way to warm them up unless you went to the front desk. Pool and hot tub were filthy with cups and fruit over the weekend and not cleaned til check out time Tuesday morning of course. The hour free with the kayaks or paddle boards was a really awesome perk. Restaurant was beautiful with nice seating, but prices weren't comparable to size or quality of some foods."

"Nope didn’t stay! Absolutely horrible. Nothing around, basically drive through trailer park to get there. Then no refund either after coming from North Dakota. The whole establishment was lie online. Good from far, far from good!"
