This hotel had a nice screened porch where we could see the ocean. Continental breakfast every morning. A beach, which is rare in the keys, and a protected area to get in the water. The water was a little chilly when we were there the last week in April and first week in May. It has a fresh water pool,... More

the Islander resort - when pulling in from the road doesn't look like too much, but is seriously - fantastic. We had an ocean front room, and don't regret spending the extra for a minute. I think when we stayed we were the only the only family from the UK, but we were made to feel really welcome. We were... More

Just got back from a 6-day stay. This is a lovely property with excellent dining Blue Tiki onsite. We decided to bring our boston terriers this time, which sometimes can be stressful making sure there are enough places to exercise them. The grounds of the Islander are huge and you can bring dogs everywhere except the pool. We all got... More

I hadn't been to the Islander since the late 90's and it was a great surprise to see the improvements that have been made. They now have a great pool area and the rooms were as clean and quaint as before. They have added a great "Tiki" bar and pool side grille that served the best Dolphin (Mahi to people... More

Islander Resort is a great location to walk to bars and restaurants. Stayed 3 days last week on route to Key West and liked it so much we are staying again on for a few more days on the way back up to Miami before going home. Rooms are clean light and airy. Good seating outside and a short walk... More

We spent a night in Islander resort and we found the place beautiful. The two swimming pools and the beach were just splendid. Our room was nice , very clean and the staff was very kind and helpful. The price is affordable for the Keys much as we were 2 adults and three children. We loved the place and we're... More

Booked in on our way to the keys as a stop off, and loved it so much were happy to hang around longer. Staff are friendly and helpful. Stayed in a twin room, enough space for 4 sharing and at a very good rate. The restaurant had god selection of food at reasonable rates. Didn't use the pool as sea... More

We got lucky here...just driving by on our way to key west and came in. Wow. Checked out the next morning and drove to key West and turned around to stay here for three more days. No comparison! Love it! Highly recommend!

I happened on the Islander after staying at another place (Kon Tiki) and wanting an upgrade for the second half of my trip. Cheeca was too expensive and too golf/spa-ish. Islander is perfect! Older resort, refurbished but still has some of its mid-century appeal. The management made some smart choices in where they spent their money - on the pools... More
