"Ocean view, clean and spacious. Convenient parking out front. Staff was very friendly and was available to answer any questions.
Disappointed though that the restaurant was not operating nor the Tiki Bar. Our cottage was not outfitted with a blender or kettle. "
"Incredible location, peaceful and beautifully maintained surroundings, fantastic “Old Florida” charm, and very clean rooms, kitchen is a huge bonus, water views are truly special."
"This was absolutely horrible! Amara Cay overbooked us, tried to blame Expedia, ruined our trip and moved us to their sister site even though our friends were staying there. "
"This is not a very great "resort" or hotel be any means. Cleaning is minimal. Found hair all over the linen, so it wasn't washed. Kinda yuck.
Staff: says front desk is open 8a - 4p. A sign on the door says 9:30a to 4p, but they don't open until sometime way after 9:30. No vending machines. No way to get any equipment or towels because the office is closed so much.
No idea what the wifi password was. Couldn't find it and office was not ooen to ask.
AC window units are rough, rusted out. Rooms are tiny, best for only 2-3 people.
Nice pool and view of ocean. You CANNOT SWIM at the beach. There is a seawall. But that is the theme for most of the Keys.
On a scale of 1-10, my wife, daughter, and I all agree it is a 5 to 6."
"I’m not sure I would ever stay at La siesta again. It has potential to be a good resort but the lack of process, management, communication and hospitality makes me think that it won’t ever be (unless a new management company takes over). This will also make me steer clear of their sister resorts, Amara Cay and Three waters.
Room issues aren’t taken care of (like broken floor boards, broken shower valves, broken fridges, missing curtains) - resort issues aren’t taken care of (broken pool drains around the entire pool, very dirty pool, unkept beach area) and lack of service and direction for guests (no direction on pool towels, not refilling pool towels when you finally find them, no clarity on where to put used pool towels which leads to piles of used towels everywhere, trash being left around the pool).
The paying customer is ignored! This is my biggest complaint. When trying to check in our room wasn’t ready, that’s fine - front desk said they would call when it was ready. Did they call? Nope. I had to guess that it was enough time and to my shock, it was ready without the phone call. Next my husband went to the office to get room maintenance to come to our room (missing curtains in bedroom and non-functioning fridge). The front desk said maintenance would be to our room in a few minutes. 2 hours later no one! My husband had to return to the front desk to urge them to send a maintenance person. 20 min later he came and zip tied blanket as a curtain and no backup fridges"
