Teresa, The room that you reserved, was a non refundable reservation. According to our notes, another family member was staying in another hotel and you opted to cancel your reservation with us to be with them. We did put your room up for sale but it was not sold. I am sorry that we were unable to refund your money, I am disappointed in your review but I am glad that you got to spend time with your family. We hope that you had an enjoyable time with them. Have a wonderful day and enjoy the rest of your week-end.

Angie, Thank you for the "5" rating and for your nice review. We are happy that you enjoyed your room and enjoyed our stunning reviews. The pool fits or area and is protected by the buildings during the cold winter winds. The sun just beats in there and does help to heat the water. We do have a heater and a chiller for our pool but added sunshine does help keep the price down on the heating. Many thanks for staying with us. have a wonderful day.

A little paradise on the Keys. We had the bungalow looking straight out over the water. Very well equipped kitchen, comfortable sofas and two large very comfortable beds. Outside on the covered porch is another dining table and chairs and a swinging seat. Imagine eating meals looking out over the bay and watching the sunset at night. Plenty of sun beds, shade under the tiki hut and trees. Grill area. Kayaks to take out from the beach. Lots of wildlife, pelicans dolphins and iguanas. Pool looked good but we swam in the sea. Two local restaurants within easy walking distance. The road gets less busy in the evening to cross. All the staff are really friendly and helpful. It is just so relaxing there

Rock Reef resorts did not disappoint. First let me start with the staff. All of the staff that I came incounter with were very nice and friendly. The room was very clean and has everything you need. I didnt see a iron but im sure they probably have one in the front office if you ask. The resort is family/couple friendly. They pool and the beach access is an added plus. They also have kayaks for guust to use free of charge. I have nothing bad to say about this hidden Gem. When ever I visit Key Largo this will be the only place I stay.

This property looked nothing like the pictures. It needed to be updated years ago. The bed was terrible. Buy a cheap foam mattress and replace whatever you have in the room. There was no TV in the bedroom and the couch in the living area was very uncomfortable.

Bobby, Thank you for booking with us through Expedia and choosing the room of your choice. All pictures are up to date and does not show a television in the bedroom. This is the first complaint that we have had concerning the mattress so we will go over and check it out. The mattress is a well know name brand so unless you consider something that cost over 1200 a cheap foam mattress I respectably disagree with you. The couch is a futon and will be changed out as soon as we can update the unit. We hope you had a safe trip home.Have a wonderful day.

Unique older property on the water. Kayaks to use. Lots of wildlife. Iguanas, manatee, etc. Pool water too hot. Need to turn down heater. AC in my room broke first day of 3 night stay. Each room has individual units outside. Couldn't move me to another room as they were booked. Brought in a portable AC unit to vent out window. Noisy, couldn't hear tv when running. Staff spoke of this happening before. Need to upgrade units so they aren't breaking down during the high season when guests are there. Staff and owner extremely friendly and apologetic.

Patricia, Thank you very much for staying with us. We do appreciate your kinds words about your stay and the items you that you mentioned and liked. We also want to thank you for your kind words about our staff and myself as well. What I am most disappointed in is the thought that we let A/C's go until they don't work. Yes, another unit went out exactly as yours and they are both under warranty. When the first a/c went out, we were also full and there was not place to move them to and when we tried to find another hotel, everyone was booked. It has been an extremely busy season which everyone was very happy about, but you never know when an appliance is going to have a problem. It is totally out of our control and we deal with it the best way we can to make our guest as comfortable and happy as we can. First we called the repair man immediately. Once we found out that it could not be fixed that day we went to our back up plan. Fortunately, you had many activities planned for the days and early evening, and we provided you with a unit to keep you cool. We did repeatedly ask you if you were alright and if everything was fine. I didn't hear anything else but it was good. We could have offered you a fan but we did have a back up plan to make you comfortable.As far as the pool it is that time of year where there arewarm days and then a cold front comes through and the the pool becomes to cold. We deal with people from all over the world and we cannot satisfy everyone each day. You could have swam in Florida Bay that is a little cooler at the moment. But again, that will change in just a few short weeks and it will be the opposite way. The pool will be then cooled and the bay will become bath water. We do hope you will come back again to stay with us, but even though problems don't happen every day, sometimes it is out of our control but we will do all we can to make you comfortable so you can enjoy your trip. Hope your trip home was uneventful and in the end we hope you had a great time.

A slice of paradise in your own backyard. Take a kayak to swim with the dolphins or cook a burger watching the incredible sunset. Morning yoga or a cup of coffee with the incredible view. It is so quiet that sometimes it feels deafening. All the good feels and vibes. The owner and the staff are wonderful. Feel very refreshed and energized after the stay.

Cristine, Wow, what a great review. I am so happy that you love our slice of paradise as much as I do. Your elegant way of describing our property really made me remember just how much we loved Rock Reef when our family stayed here all during the 80's. I will start 35 year of owning Rock Reef on June 30th and the awe of the peace and quiet just bags us to relax and enjoy the surrounding. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making me slow down and remember all the feelings, views and peaceful times as you described it. Thank you again and again for bringing back wonderful memories of our many times when we were guests here. Have a wonderful day and please come back and stay with us again.

Lovely room, great location, loved the kayaks, and nice staff. The exterior of the building and the dock needs some refreshing. But we had a great stay.
