This is a very nice hotel. Rooms are made like a small home. Comfortable beds, small kitchenette, table and chairs, ceiling fan and air conditioner. TV and dresser. Enclosed Lanai with table and chairs, ceiling fan in the lanai is very nice. Out side your door is a hammock and chaises. There are places to barbecue if you wish.
The landscaping is beautiful. Swaying palm trees everywhere, white sand beach with pier. Small salt water beach swimming area. Two beautiful pools also a spa. Tiki bar is very nice, open and a good size. Tables to eat if you order food.
The morning continental breakfast, isn't too bad. Cereal, cakes,
french toast. Enough to fill you tummy and be on your way.
The people at the desk are very pleasant, and the cleaning staff are also pleasant and efficient.
We will stay here again. Felt comfortable and safe.
There are stores and restaurants waking distance from hotel if you don't feel like driving.
This is a very nice place, to stay and relax. Everything is here if you don't want to go anywhere else and just chill. Quiet at night.

I picked the Islander because I had seen an article on CNN that stated the Islander was a "hidden jewel" and it proved to be so. My family loved the Islander. The staff was very accommodating. The continental breakfast was good. We stayed in Room 511 and it was great. It was right on the ocean front. The room had a cathedral ceiling in the sleeping area, mini kitchenette, jacuzzi, a huge shower, and a screened in porch that had a table and chairs. The hotel was completely booked, yet you wouldn't know it since the beach was not crowded. There are palm trees sporadically placed with lounge chairs and tables on the beach. The tiki restaurant has great food and a nice atmosphere. They also have watersport rentals and the people that run it are very nice and accommodating. The Islander is truly a wonderful and relaxing place to stay for a vacation.

We stayed at the Islander Resort from July 8-14, 2007 for our honeymoon! The room was very spacious and comfortable. We had a kitchenette, huge bathroom with seperate tub and shower, king sized bed, and a desk. We spent most of our time by the salt water pool laying out or in the pool. The tiki bar had excellent food and great servers. The complimentary breakfast was always yummy! We will definiately stay at the Islander Resort again!

This was the best place to stay in the Keys. We selected it after having read all of the reviews on TripAdvisor....they weren't wrong!

Room were clean and spacious. It was great having the kitchenette as it meant we didn't need to eat out every night. They also have outdoor hibachi grills that you can use if you get charcoal. The lanai's were the perfect spot to sit and enjoy dinner or drinks.

Fishing pier was a life-saver for our 12 year old son...I can't count the number of trips he made down to the pier to fish. He caught needlefish, yellow-tailed snappers, saw a nurse shark and more.

The pools were clean and the restaurant had good food!

You can walk to the local market (Trading Post) and really didn't need to leave the resort if you didn't want to.

I'm glad we chose this place.
