The Caribbean Resort offers a charming and comfortable stay in Islamorada with its well-maintained cottages and great outdoor activities. I loved the tranquility and the beautiful pool area. While the housekeeping could use a bit more attention to detail, the overall experience was delightful, especially with all the recreational options available nearby. However, the lack of a proper swimming area on-site might be a downside for some.

The resort offers an incredible atmosphere with beautiful villas and a stunning pool area, perfect for relaxation. However, the recent influx of large groups has impacted the tranquil vibe, particularly around the pool area, which can get quite noisy. Overall, it has a lot of great amenities and charm, but the recent changes can be a downside for those seeking peace.
