South Florida
11 Apr 2008

We live in South Florida and travel down to the Keys quite often(probably 6 times a year). We have checked out several places and stayed at a few. I have to say La Siesta is our favorite. We ended up staying there 5 times last year. you wont find a more friendly or helpful staff anywhere. The manager, Steve, has my kids spoiled! He goes out of his way to make sure they have a good time. The pool is definately the best in the Keys. It's huge and has a gradual slope perfect for young children. The boat ramp is very convenient. And my husband says the fishing is outstanding. He loves to sit outside at night and fish with the kids off the seawall. The view is beautiful and the location is perfect. Islamorada has fantastic shopping and there are several really good restaurants nearby (try Lazy Dayz !)
The rooms are clean (the furniture maybe a little outdated but very comfortable). Every room has a full kitchen and there are grills available. You can get anything from a one bedroom apartment to a 5 bedroom house. You can take a canoe for for the day are one of the bikes to ride around on. There is something for everybody. We met some nice people there are we are all planning on coming back at the same time this summer. A lot of the customers at La Siesta are returning families because we all know it is simply the best. I know the times we have spent there are memories my kids will look back on fondly.

This hotel was not perfect, but it was great for the price. The rooms may not be as updated or nice as other places, and the stairs very narrow, but what are you doing in the room so much anyhow?!

The real value in this resort is the extras! They were building a new pool and dock while we were there, so we had no access to there, but they offer FREE kayak rental, fishing rods and tackle, bikes... and a continental breakfast. Everyone learned our names, and it was a really nice experience.

“Rooms are horrible”

La Siesta Resort & Marina

26 Feb 2008

Found this on the net and pictures looked great so I booked too quickly. We are pretty well traveled but, unfortunately, did not read the reviews ahead of time like we always do. Since we were only staying one night, we thought we could stand anything for one night.

1. No sheets/pillow case for pull out sofa. Found out at 9:30 that night and office was closed. Manager left a cell phone number to contact after hours. No call back...not even the next morning to apologize.
2. Rug in the entire apt was DISGUSTING, stained and 30 years old. Wore my flip-flops the whole time in the room. Pieces of broken glass found on carpet in middle of living room (guess they didn't vacuum before we checked in).
3. Sliding glass door took 15 mintutes of wrestling to try to lock.
4. Walls were in desperate need of painting. Chips/dents in walls.
5. Inside of fridge was rusty.
6. Switches to fans/lights broken. No light to even read by in the bedroom.
Overall, horrible room.

Pool was decent but a lot of construction going on. Hotel allowed pets and I smelled dog poop when we walked around outside.

I would not recommed this place at all. I complained upon checkout about all of this but who knows what will be done. There was certainly no mention of any sort of compensation made. We paid $220.00 for this room....WAY too much for this dump.

Look elsewhere for a room.

“A four star resort which is actually a one star”

La Siesta Resort & Marina

31 Dec 2007
0/1 found this review helpful

The resort is old and overpriced. The carpet has stains. One bathtub was flooding and in the other the sink plumbing was leaking. The resort promised a baby crib, however, one was missing when we got there. The office closes at 8 PM and the emergency number we called (at 9.30 PM) did not answer the phone. The next morning they did not even bother to respond to our emergency calls. The pool and marina is closed since 2004.

October 18 - 21, 2007 My husband and I stayed here 3 years ago for our first anniversary and had the best time. This year, our 4th, we brought our kids. There was construction going on to build a new dock but we did not let that dampen our opinion or our vacation. We had a very nice little bungalow and completely enjoyed the pool, I couldn't keep my kids out of it. Saturday night they had a huge water balloon fight and everyone certainly had fun. I would (and have) recommend this as a vacation getaway!!

Sincerely,

Carmen Kahn
