Beautiful property, the well maintained the room was gorgeous. Ambresnia at the front desk was very helpful and kind. The pool and the tiki bars were great.
We are repeat returning customers and will continue to be so, we love Cheeka. The staff and facilities are excellent. Always a great time. Local restaurants are fantastic on site. Restaurants are excellent. The snorkeling in the area as well as the fishing is world class.
Clean and comfortable rooms, but I did get a dated feel, but certainly served our purpose. The property supplied EVERYTHING needed to enjoy your stay. I didn’t have dinner there, but their breakfast was elevated and delish. The Adult pool we used had an exercise instructor, a spa and was crystal clear. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The roosters that roamed were the healthiest looking rooster I ever saw 😉. We wandered off the property but my observation was that you didn’t need to leave to stay busy and active, very self-contained.
Such a beautiful property with incredible amenities! Our room was large, beds were so comfortable! We enjoyed the soaking tub, all the pools, and the beautiful beach. Food and drinks were amazing! Probably the best resort we have ever been to! Wonderful in every way! Highly recommend!!!
I stayed in one of the bungalows, which was nice being separate from the main hotel and activity there. Got up every morning and went down to sit in my chair and watch the sunrise.
Absolutely amazing experience at Cheeca Lodge & Spa! From the moment we arrived, the service was welcoming, professional, and attentive. The resort is beautiful, peaceful, and perfectly captures the tropical atmosphere of the Florida Keys. The grounds are immaculate, the ocean views are breathtaking, and the entire property has a relaxing yet luxurious feel.
The food and drinks were excellent, and the staff consistently went above and beyond to make our stay special. Watching the sunset and enjoying the beautiful surroundings made the experience even more memorable. 🌴🌅
Cheeca is the perfect place for a relaxing getaway with family or a romantic escape. We truly enjoyed every moment and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!
Make sure you ask about the massage prices! We were told at one point it was complimentary and didn’t know about how much they actually were after they were done. Don’t get me wrong the massage therapists were absolutely fantastic but for a couples massage it costed us $600. We kayaked they let us have extra time and the pier was amazing! But i haven’t been to this stinky of a beach in a while get used to it but at the same time dang. They also came on the spot to fix the jacuzzi tub so that was good as well.
Cheeca Lodge and Spa is tremendous!
From the room, to the view, the food and the staff were all very friendly and welcoming from start to finish. Jessica at the front desk was right there anytime we needed anything and is definitely one of the best reasons to visit! She was beyond what we would expect, and a truly amazing hospitality professional! 10 out of 10!
We are already planning our next trip to Cheeca Lodge, can’t wait!!!
We loved this place. The pool is beautiful and relaxing. Don’t expect swimming on the beach though, way too much sea weed. But you can take a kayak or paddle board out. Food in the restaurants was amazing. We loved the sushi restaurant for dinner. For lunch we just had a sandwich at the pool and it ended up being just delicious. Breakfast place had great food as well. The room was great. We did have some ants making trails through the bathroom sink, but that was not a big deal for us. Also, the ability to park under the building in the shade is very cool.
Also, there is a shuttle that will take you around to explore islamorada, they will take you 2 miles out in one or another direction.
We definitely will come back and enjoy this place again. Highly recommend!
