The perfect cross between a motel and a beach resort. The grounds are essentially a botanical garden with small huts scattered throughout. There are lots of seating options, a great pool, and a private bay with boats to explore the waters. Fantastic sunset spot. I really enjoyed our stay here as way station to Miami.
On Balance Gilberts was ok but I would not want to stay more than a couple of days. We where probably not its target customers. The rooms where really nice with a great view but my sister was at the end of the block right by the sewage digester for the resort which made a humming noice which was audible in the room at night, it also smelt really bad in the mornings. Admiralty this could only be smelt outside the room. Suggestion screen the digester and put some filtration for the odour. Plus point they treat the sewage. Thursday night was Ok in the bar although the rock band thought they where playing a stadium, just way too loud, when they stopped and some normality returned the bar shut at 2100, Friday and Saturday, better music but the place was rammed with a lot of kids running around. We would have gone out but the resort is isolated and its almost impossible to get a cab, if you do its very expensive and no guarantee you can get one back. If you have a nominated driver than getting out is an option. Saturday the beach, the bar where just full to bursting, first stop on the Keys out of Miami. A lot of very drunk people having a good time which is fine but if you are not one of them its no fun at all. A visible police presence kept any potential trouble from happening. We where going to go to the pool but there was no room left in the water never mind the side. It is supposed to be for residents and they are supposed to ware a wrist band but that is not enforced, very few in anyone had a wrist band on. In short its not a bad place but don't go if you want a relaxed Keys vibe, stay away from the rooms at the end of the block and only go midweek but only do that if you want to be in bed at 2100. Good points, comfortable rooms, nice views, and very nice staff.
It can be said that this is a good hotel, although the facilities are old. Perhaps due to its superior location in Key Largo and the large number of guests who come to stay all year round, there is no time for renovation and upgrading??? But in any case, it should be repaired and upgraded!
The front desk had a very bad attitude. I felt that I was discriminated against by the front desk. It was a very bad check-in experience. The front desk lady arranged a room next to the noisiest restaurant, and I was woken up at 7am. I asked them to change it last night, but the front desk said that Ctrip arranged this location. I don't know whether the location of Ctrip booking was originally very bad, or the front desk discriminated against me... The key is that they didn't change the room.
