    Our room unfortunately was at the front so didn’t have a view . Would definitely look to book a room at the rear next time overlooking the beach.

    The location was perfect with everything you need for a short break. We had a refurbished suite which had been done beautifully

    To go to the shop/restaurant, you had to cross a very busy road.

    The pool was at a good temperature with comfortable seats. The beach was on the property with an excellent view on the sunset, de manatee was a surprise. Parking was very easy.

    Sofa was not the most comfortable.

    Rock Reef is a comfortable, typical "Old Florida" motel-type resort, and shows her age. Staff and owner all very helpful. Location fantastic. Good shower, full kitchen, large TV, good wifi (until it failed on our last day). Probably the best feature is the porch looking across the gardens to the Bay. Many iguanas entertained us each day. Nice pool and free use of canoes and SUP were a bonus.

    Temperature of the pool was too warm for a refreshing dip, but I prefer colder water; We stayed on the ground floor and were awoken by guests rising early above us - we could hear them walking around - not sure that the property's claim of sound proofed rooms is accurate.

    Great location - straight across the road to a gem of a restaurant, straight across the road to a great coffee/breakfast shop & a 2 minutes walk to a service station which sold all essentials. Nice grounds with lovely outlook & jetties towards the ocean and sunset. Plenty sun loungers, picnic tables, chairs to enjoy the sunset. Clean secure fenced pool area. Kayaks and pedalo also available for guests to use free of charge. Beach towels provided.

    Pretty much as expected at this end of the price range. Generally OK, but with room for improvement.

    Decor, fixtures and fittings getting tired. Obviously a fairly old building (by US standards). Having said that, our experience elsewhere in the Keys showed that this was typical of other hotels/motels. Quite expensive for what you get by normal standards, but par for the course in the Keys, where everything tends to be expensive.

    Good location, and easy to find (thanks to the large sign outside, which you can see as you approach the property). Staff helpful on checking-in. They had had a problem where they had found the a/c unit in the room wasn't working, so they had rigged-up a stand-alone unit. It wasn't pretty, and the temperature at the time meant that we didn't actually use it, but at least they made the effort. Room was plenty big enough for our 2 night stay. Bed & pillows fine. Never got to use the pool but it looked fine. Nice property, leading down to the shore with nice views. No food available but there are plenty of options just a short drive away.

    I was hoping for a 30-minute swim before checking out but after 5 minutes the pool maintenance folks kicked me out to add chemicals. They should do this later in the day.

    Great central location, nice views of the water and a heated pool!

    Our room needed more windows. One small window was not enough. I would unblock the side window and/or add a full window entry door. Also, I would install room-darkening curtains and garment hooks in the main room.

    Nothing - we expected the old Florida style hotel and loved its character

    We flew into Miami to drive to the keys. This was a rest stop on the way to key west. The view and the free parking attracted us.

    Wish there was a mirror in bedroom so I wouldn’t have to wait for my husband to finish in the bathroom before I put on my makeup.

    A true gem! Everything was perfect. The shower was a true work of art. The grounds were immaculate. The sitting area to watch the sunset was perfect. We will be back.

    Close to loud busy road. Not a resort, so not why it is labeled as such. It's more of a quaint little motel with nice people and a nice view, next to a busy road.

    Nice people. Clean spacious room with great amenities. Pretty view out back.

    Peaceful beachside location with sunset views

    The walls would have been improved with an attractive print or painting. Just one clothes hanger also seems a little extreme. There is a coffee maker but only enough coffee for 2 cups but no tea. Little things can make a difference. It would not be hard to make a better impression.

    We were a little taken back by the proximity of the highway but our room was on beach side which was good. The room itself (our room) was in a motel style building., the shower was attractive, and the walls seemed freshly painted, but room would have benefited from a painting or print on the walls. It was a quiet place, with a nice little heated pool close by, attractive gardens, a little beach, and some nice seating by the water, and yes lovely sunsets. It's a nice option for a couple of days of sitting peacefully around absorbing a book and maybe some beverages. There is not much nearby but Ballyhoos across the road is a decent friendly restaurant (with great Key Lime pie!) and "One Grind" food truck over the road is a good Breakfast stop with 2 pleasant ladies... There is also a service station selling small items, fruit, snacks, beer, etc.
