Islamorada Hotels with Balcony

My husband and I stayed a week at the Ragged Edge Resort & Marina. We were delighted with the spacious apartment especially the two bathrooms. Our apartment had a well equipped kitchen, a counter for eating and a comfortable living area with a sofa and chairs. From the kitchen/living room window we had a beautiful view of the pier and ocean. The pool and pier area provided lots of space and lounge chairs for swimming, fishing and enjoying the sun. In the evening we used the resort's bicycles to tour the neighborhood. The staff at Ragged Edge were wonderful. They made sure we had everything we needed. There were many restaurants nearby but our favorite was ”Lazy Days”. We also took a day trip to Key West which was about 70 miles south of the resort.

The resort was very beautiful and well maintained. The cottage we stayed in was spacious and we really liked the decor and how soft the beds were. The food was good but a little pricey. We were not impressed with the cabana rental. The cabana was not ready when we arrived. We had to wait for it to be cleaned and set up. The cabana was not labeled and we were confused on which cabana was ours as there were 2 next to each other. We asked when service would start and we were told 10am, then we asked again at 10:45, then went to the front office at 11:30 and when 12pm rolled around with no service we decided to leave and get our money back on the cabana. At that point all we paid for was a chair and towel which did not meet our expectation when spending $250.00 on a cabana for the day. I would recommend several things for the cabana. 1. Number the cabanas so you can clearly see the number. Telling us Cabana 2 does not help when they are beside each other. 2. Stock the min fridge with water. 3. Clearly explain on the cabana rental that food/service will not start until a certain time. We expected to at least get something to drink while in the cabana. 4. Install a call button or app that you can be in contact with someone when you need something. There was a significant delay on getting our refund. And we do appreciate the Manager helping us on Friday get that resolved before we checked out on Saturday morning. All in all, the resort was great. We loved the vibe and updates made to the property. The rooms were comfortable and fresh, and we loved the beds as they were very comfortable, and the sheets were so soft. Everyone was friendly and pleasant. We most enjoyed fish like a local with Patrick. We found that the pool in the middle of the property was less used and felt more quiet and more private therefore we spent our time with a good book. I would give the stay at 4.5 out of 5. Highly recommend trying out Three Waters Resort.
