We went the week after Labor day. Rooms are not clean the smell badly and are very worn. This is not a place for kids either the clientele is not the best. The lady at the front desk said"well that's the way it is in the keys" Bologna! We both are pilots and travel frequently to the keys. We stayed... more

The resort is small and quaint, qualities you can't find in many of the newer/bigger resorts. All of the resort staff are helpful, accommodating, and friendly. The restaurant is top-notch. We've been there several times before, and will definitely go again. It's definitely worth the money, especially since the prices are certainly competitive. We've already recommended Rainbow Bend to several... more

We traveled to Rainbow Bend for a much needed vacation where we could decompress from work and enjoy the water with our young son. I read some of the reviews and found them mostly positive - I now see that wherever anyone wrote something negative, they came with too many expectations of a fancy hotel stay and they were unfortunately... more

We always go on vacation for our birthdays as they are close together. I had seen the internet site for Rainbow Bend a few years ago and had to figure a way to "sell" it to my girlfriend. She first looked at it and thought, "It's a fishing camp." Somehow, I managed to talk her into it, maybe it was... more

I first contacted Rainbow Bend in July by phone and spoke with George at the front desk, which has been there for 20 years. He explained that I would be receiving a room that included boat for half a day, kayak, pool, and full breakfast from there gourmet restaurant. All for the un-disclosed price of ex-amount of dollars. Only to... more

Room=expensive and dirty Desk clerk=rude Beach=garbagy Worst of it was our biggest splurge of our honeymoon and if the desk clerks had been at least a little helpful we probably wouldn't have minded the spiderwebs and a little more work on our part. Could be the biggest regret on our whole trip! more

My wife and I and our two dogs just spent another relaxing 10 days in the heart of the keys at Rainbow Bend Resort. This is an older classic keys establishment, very quiet and clean. The Hideaway Restaurant on site is noteworthy. Alot of sea grass floats up to the shoreline this time of year but that is a natural... more

This is my second trip to Rainbow Bend with my 2 sons, age 6 and 9. It is a perfect place for a father/son trip. We're able to use a 15 foot Whaler for 4 hours a day ( if it's slow, they'll let you take it out again, but you have to do 4 hour blocks). Karl and the... more

Looking to extend our trip back from our home in the Lower Keys for a few days we decided to try Rainbow bend. We had enjoyed dinner at the Hideaway cafe several days before. The view of the beach from the restaurant looked appealing. (by the way, the Hideaway Cafe is not run by the same people as the Rainbow... more
