Guest Reviews

We had read mixed reviews on Cheeca, but I couldn't believe how beautiful it was. This is the best hotel I have ever stayed in, in the most stunning location. We found all staff helpful and pleasant. We drove down from Orlando and it was another world in the Keys. I had a smile on my face for days, just looking around me!
Our room was in the main lodge and was refurbished. Everything was top class; beautiful, stylish decor and bathroom. My son found being able to watch the plasma TV from the bath a real bonus! The ocean is gorgeous and we watched fish, sharks, rays and turtles from the pier. You can see all of this snorkeling from the shore in the warmest sea I have ever been in.

Some days on the beach , it felt like we were the only ones there, absolute peace and seclusion.
The resort fee was worth it for the kayaks, water, DVDs, tiki huts etc. Prices were quite high, but for the snorkeling tour, it was worth it to step on and off the boat at the hotel. Food in the hotel was OK, but there are a numbers of restaurants nearby, walking distance. We would recommend Kayo for excellent Japanese and service and Lorelei to enjoy the sunset over the bay with live, laid back music and great sea food.

All in all, I would say you get what you pay for and we loved it for its stylish, laid back charm. We can't wait to go back.

My husband and I stayed at the Cheeca Lodge Jan. 22-25, 2008. The resort and grounds were immaculate. We stayed in a resort view room overlooking the water feature and water fall. It was beautiful, especially at night with tiki lights. The room was recently renovated with top quality furniture, fabrics, flat screen tv etc. It was lovely. We can't say enough about the resort. We enjoyed the golf course, beach, fishing pier, tennis courts, and pools. Our only regret was not getting to stay longer. We will definitely return to the Cheeca!

Also, there are lots of wonderful restaurants in Islamorada. We enjoyed Lazy Days and Islamorada Fish Company for dinner. For breakfast, the Islamorada Bakery is a definite place to eat.

My husband and I treated ourselves to a four-night stay at Cheeca, and our stay was truly magical. Upon arrival, we were very impressed with the beautifully maintained grounds. Tropical flowers, towering palm trees and gorgeous greenery everywhere. We stayed in the George Bush Suite, which was really amazing, not to mention over-the-top luxurious. The entire suite is filled with mementos of George H.W. Bush's life -- photos of him with several other presidents and their wives, and many with his son, George W. There's a really neat photo of him with an enormous bonefish he caught while fishing in Islamorada. There's even a large piece of the Berlin wall, framed and hung on the kitchen wall. The former president stays at Cheeca a lot, so it's a nice tribute to him. Fabulous jacuzzi tub, screened oceanfront balcony, plasma tv; all the amenities you can imagine. It was fabulous!

We spent a lot of time at the pool, where the food and service were excellent. Everyone at Cheeca seems to enjoy working there and it shows in their enthusiasm. The sandy beach was lovely, and the spa is incredible with its private cabanas. The property has some lovely waterfalls and bridges, it's fun just to walk around and explore. We were amazed to see giant bonefish and tarpon swimming around in the saltwater snorkeling lagoon. Awesome! And there's so many different places to hang out, you never feel cramped or crowded. The Tiki Bar is a great place to hang out and enjoy the beachside scenery. The courtyard and lobby areas are very inviting; a great place to relax and talk. We really enjoyed our stay and we will be back!
