Hotels near Rookery Bay Reserve Lands

"Nice room clean and well provisioned ....would have appreciated a phone to contact reception not on site and a safe. Lovely location and swimming pool "

"The pool was closed (during spring break) for renovation. The hotel receives only a couple of guest passes for the neighboring pool but they're very hard to come by. However, the bigger problem was around the beach chairs/umbrellas. A separate company operates these, and there are only a few rows of chairs & umbrellas set up for rent. People apparently can reserve them in advance for extended days, but most of the time they were never used, and the company wouldn't allow anyone else to use them when they didn't show up. The cost was also not included in the hotel night fee, which is disappointing considering the pool was also out of use during this time. That would have been a reasonable accommodation to make to guests during this renovation period. There are chairs & an umbrella in each hotel room but carrying these down is not easy. This location is just confusing. The property itself has a lot of great potential, but they operate halfway between a private condo and a hotel -the front desk uses a small table instead of the large reception area, the staff is very nice but they're often moving around the property so it's hard to find someone at times. There is no convenience store or coffee shop in the lobby (and only the beach-side bar/restaurant which is open from around 11-4, and the main restaurant which is only open for dinner). "

"We loved this property! Our suite was clean. The staff, especially Emy, was very helpful. The cook is top notch! Hot breakfast every morning and on Mon, Tues, Wed, she puts out food at dinner (5:30pm) for people to meet one another. We used the pool, gym (has a filtered water bottle filler), business center computers and printing, BBQ grill. All were great. Some tips: pool has fountains! You have to ask staff to turn them on. There is a fire pit outdoors. Easy to use. The BBQ grills are easy to use. Pay attention to the details. There is a small timer for each you have to turn on first. Then a specific (on the left) burner you have to use to start. There are not tongs otlr grill utensils left out. Just ask the staff or go to Dollar Tree. It is close by. Our only issue is easily fixable. If you want the housekeeping staff to do specific things, like change the bedding, replace the kitchen towels, refill the coffee packs, vacuum the rooms, clean anything...just let them know. They will do it. The suites do not have ovens. So don't plan on being able to cook a frozen pizza. They also don't have toasters. You might be able to ask for one at the front desk. Overall, we had a great time here. Great location that is close to all the shopping places and, once you learn the traffic pattern, is easy to get to anywhere in the area."

"Beautiful beach and pool area! Delicious, fresh, breakfast buffet. Helpful, friendly staff all around the resort, especially Max, Denise & Bailey at the front desk! We'll be returning soon! "

"This property is well worth the stay. Only issue we had was untimely housekeeping with cleaning our room. They should consider an adult only pool area as well. Otherwise highly recommend."

"I had not just a great visit but a magical visit to this part western Everglades. My eastern Everglades tour was spent in a high rise chain moderately priced hotel. It was outside the park and every day that I returned to that facility the spell was broken but by the mall atmosphere. In this charming motel I arrived to an adventurous crowd sitting in lawn chairs outside their rooms enjoying the sunset. In the morning charming cafe very reasonably priced and good quality food was next door. The staff was welcoming and knowledgeable steering me to a local restaurant that was awesome live Cuban music guitar and singer in a screened in porch setting on a river. I watched the moon abd star rise over a boat moored outside the door. The Cuban seafood cuisine was to die for. Finally the owner of this establishment called me personally a day after Expedia and I screwed my reservation to resolve the matter in my favor even though she was not required to do so. It’s nice to be treated with respect and fairness far from home. It only makes my memory of my stay more golden. I will return and recommend you stay in this magical place for your trip. "
