Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Lime Tree Bay Resort is often praised for its beautiful, well-maintained grounds, where guests enjoy relaxing in hammocks. Many appreciate the convenience of having kayaks and paddle boards readily available for exploring the ocean, and some have enjoyed watching dolphins right from the property. While a few guests have noted that some rooms could benefit from updates, the on-site restaurant, Florida Boy, is considered convenient, and the location makes day trips to Key West, Marathon, and Islamorada easily accessible.

Dez is such a lovely person. She is a hardworking woman and she did a great job! The resort had a warm welcome and a beautiful premise. Free water and coffee were available at the front desk, also an ice machine was accessible anytime. Kayaks, bikes and paddle boards were free.
The breakfast was sketchy at a restaurant next door. The pool was very hot, it needed more shade options. The desk staff was subpar.

the hotel was very tranquil and peaceful. the water views were awesome and the balconies were a big plus. i watched fish for hours! the location is beautiful and the staff are really friendly. they are always helpful too!
there were zero hangers in the closet. the blinds were white window slat coverings. these did not close completely, so it was not as dark at night.

great hotel experience

direct accesspaddle boardpeaceful groundsgradual entry
the king room on the first floor provided direct access to the pool and ocean, a priceless feature. we enjoyed the easy access to paddle boards and kayaks, all maintained in good working condition. the grounds were peaceful and beautifully maintained, i spent many hours relaxing in the hammocks. the gradual entry into the pool was perfect for easy relaxing (i could have stayed there all day!).
the room, especially the bathroom, could have been larger. however, i spent most of my time enjoying the outdoor areas, so it wasn't a significant issue (i only noticed it when i came in for a shower!).

I appreciated the breakfast provided. it was a good way to start the day (especially with the fresh fruit). i also liked that kayaks were available for use. I took one out for a paddle.
the noise from the road was noticeable. i could hear cars passing by even inside my waterfront standard room king bed. the pool seemed a bit unclean. the water looked cloudy, not very inviting.
