Azul Del Mar

If you are looking for an affordable place to stay in Key Largo, look no further! This hotel far exceeded our expectations. The room was extremely cleaned and had everything we needed (plates, microwave, fridge, etc). The bed and pillows were super comfy. The view is simply amazing with nice beach chairs.

Note: my review is very specific to one room-type: La Palma. I almost feel bad to give this low-rating, but I think it is necessary to give this review to help out future travelers to this hotel. The location is amazing, and so is the overall vibes of this place. Loads of greenery and it is right on the bay. They have created a (tiny) beach which looks very cute. Overall, I would have loved this place, if it werent for the room we got. La Palma, does not have a bathroom door! I would have never booked a hotel had I known this before. (I did see a review mentioning this when I reached there, but it was a recent review and hadnt been published when I had booked the hotel). Without the door, you are practically sharing the bathroom with anyone who you are sharing the room with (and mind you, the room is not extremely big either, so everything is happening right in front of you). I am sorry to write this, but you cant go about doing your business, in front of another person, even if it is your better half! I wrote to the owner, and got a response that they are aware of this situation and working on it. Well, it doesnt help me! Also the fact that someone else posted the same issue 3 weeks ago, clearly they are NOT working on it actively. Had they been, I wouldnt have to leave the room and go outside, every time my wife wanted to take a dump, and vice-versa! It was HUGELY INCONVENIENT! Especially pinches more when you have to do this after paying north of four hundred bucks for each night. Future travelers: please call and ask them if they have installed the door prior to making a reservation. Future

Azul is a great spot for a weekend away. Nice and quiet, you dont have to fight for a nice view at the beach, and you can have a relaxing time without leaving. Surrounded by plenty of good restaurants and natural beauty! Rooms: The rooms are nice and have everything you need for a weekend getaway. Its a small place in the keys, not a luxury hotel and thats what we wanted. Nearby activities: State park is right down the road, plenty of stuff to do at the resort. You can snorkel, kayak, and paddle board right off the property, equipment included.

My wife and I used this hotel as an in between stay between our vacation in Key West and our drive back to the Fort Lauderdale airport. We will definitely be coming back for a longer stay. This small hotel is amazing. It is great for couples and is adults only. It is part of the neighboring Amoray Dive Resort (which allows kids). If you are looking for a romantic getaway or a place to stay while diving or fishing, this is the place.

I did a bit of searching in the reviews for this but couldn't find one mentioning what I will be sharing. We reserved the La Palma suite for one night. Check in at 4pm with a code that was provided with email. That worked but opened to an unclean room - towels or rags still on the floor. A call to the office assured me the housekeeper would be on her way and she was, but it was after our check in time already. That wouldn't have a deal breaker except that as we toured our room we found there is no door on the bathroom. NO DOOR. Twenty five years of marriage but we still don't share our toilet habits in front of each other when it comes to sitting down. I could simply not believe it. A quick look online confirmed that there used to be doors on the bathroom. The photos are not up to date with the state of the room. It was only one night so we dealt with it, I guess. The grounds are nice, inviting, multiple options to enjoy views of the water, get out on the water, even have a picnic outside. But I can't imagine knowingly signing up for the open bathroom situation. They do have free laundry, fyi, behind the office building. I called the next day to share our disappointment with the office person. Wow, her irritation at my feedback just dripped through the phone. She told me they had received the bathroom door feedback from others, but it was down the list on repairs to be made at this resort. She didn't care, and somewhat scolded me over the fact they have only one housekeeper who can't finish within the time frames they have. If she had even been apologetic, expressed empathy for the discomfort, and inconvenience, I would have walked away in a different frame of mind. Instead I'm left with the impression of 2-star motel, limping along with hopes of just booking people in to pay their bills. Despite the charm of the location and outdoors, I wouldn't return and wouldn't recommend.
