8.4/10 Very Good! (998 reviews)

Beach access was great! Rooms very clean and all staff was friendly and helpful. Be prepared for the $50/day valet charge and no self parking available. We were SO glad we stayed here versus the nearby Southernmost resort. Beach seaweed was cleaned up and maintained. The beach at Southernmost was a mess and not usable.

This is my second stay at Almond Tree and since it was so nice the first time I’ll just keep going back. The hotel is great and the location can’t be beat.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean. The pool was very clean as well. When you are in the room or pool, you feel like you are in your own little world where you get to take a break from the hustle and bustle of Duval street. Not noisy at night, very peaceful.
