Matecumbe Resort Islamorada, Islamorada

I had a pleasant two-week stay with beautiful views and a clean room featuring a full kitchen. The amenities like free bikes, kayaks, and a lovely outdoor pool were definitely a plus. However, there were some downsides, such as a lack of a swimming beach and a hard bed, along with the inconvenient location that made it hard to reach downtown without transportation.

The hotel has a charming Old Florida vibe that we loved. The room was clean and cozy, perfect for our small family. However, the beach access was disappointing, and some facilities could use maintenance. Overall, it's a good spot for families looking for a quiet retreat, but it may not meet expectations for those seeking sandy beach experiences.

I had high hopes for this resort, but it turned out to be quite disappointing. The location was nice, but the beach was more of a muddy area with seaweed rather than a real beach. The accommodations were outdated and didn't live up to the price we paid. On the positive side, the staff was friendly and attentive, but overall, the experience didn’t match the expectations, especially for a family getaway.

The resort has some beautiful views and the rooms are generally clean, but the layout of the rooms can be quite awkward, especially for larger groups. The pool and bike facilities are nice touches, although the beach access is questionable with lots of seaweed. Overall, it’s a decent spot, but definitely not what I expected from a resort.

I had mixed feelings about my stay. While the location had that charming Old Florida vibe and was clean, the layout of the rooms and the maintenance of the facilities were less than ideal. The staff was helpful during office hours, but the limited availability was a hassle. Overall, I think it’s a decent option for a relaxed vacation, but definitely not for everyone.
