The staff was very friendly and communicated with us very well and timely. The room was clean and the property as well. The beach area and dock were very nice. I wish we had more to time to enjoy them. We had hoped to stay there again on our way back from Key West, but they were "booked" on a Monday night out of season. That in itself is good testament for the hotel. Very nice people and hotel. We would not hesitate to stay here again and recommend it to those who are looking for a nice, clean place to stay in Key Largo.

The room had some "minor" repairs that could use some TLC.

The rooms are very tastefully done with lovely tropical decor. The view of the bay is magnificent, and the kayaking is wonderful. The staff has always been so friendly and so very helpful. And cheerful!

I know chairs in the tropics can be a problem. But the new wooden lounge chairs are so uncomfortable. You need to find a way to provide cushions for them. The duck was much nicer before they allowed fishing. It was a peaceful, clean place for people to congregate, bring their drinks, and enjoy the breeze and the view. Fishing is dirty and disgusting, I’m fishing people rarely clean up after themselves.

The Drift is in a great location. We had a great looking room which was very spacious. We had a very clean room and the king sized bed was very comfy! Beautiful view and was literally 50 steps for us to get to the beach! We loved the seating accommodations and the hanging bed was great for a much needed nap!

Bathroom was clean, but was less than desired. The shower is way too small and the toilet sits right next to the shower - actually feels like you are wedged between the outside wall and the shower wall. My husband is 6'6" and I'm 5'10" so with the shower being so tiny, it was difficult to bend over when washing and difficult to shave my legs without hitting my head on the shower walls. I'll need to practice standing on one leg before we go back. :)

The location is excellent, the private beach and jetty on the waterfront are amazing. There are steps into the shallow water which is perfect for swimming. There are free loungers and shady areas. Very comfortable, large bed in a nice room with kitchen area. Nice big shower. The staff were very helpful and let us use the staff toilet on our day of departure so that we could use the beach until mid afternoon then change.

Only 1 bedside cabinet (nightstand) and 1 bedside lamp. No light switches at all on 1 side. This is a no-no, even in the cheapest establishment. Those of us who need to visit the bathroom during the night shouldn't have to stumble around in the dark. Very inflexible room lighting. Just 1 switch by the door switches on 3 harsh downlighters that flood the whole room with brilliant white light. Why no separate light in the kitchen area? Although the shower was very spacious, the rest of the bathroom was very cramped.

I love that they have refreshed and rejuvenated an 'old school' Keys hotel! It has the charm of a different time, but it is so fresh and clean! The outdoor area is just lovely. Plenty of comfy chairs with an incredible view. We sat in the loungers and watched dolphins play. Magic!

We couldn't find where to get beach towels, so we had to use our bath towels. There was a huge closet in our room. It was way to big for the room. The door hit one of the beds when open. It was the only part of the room that felt old. That space could be so much better used.

The setting was gorgeous with a little beach and dock to relax on. We saw a dolphin swim around one evening while sitting on the dock, it was magical! The room was clean and comfortable. I also really liked the terrace just out front. The staff was helpful and kind. We would definitely come back!

The strings / rod for our blinds were broken so we had to kind of force them closed manually; we worried about breaking them and had to keep them closed once we managed. We could’ve used another light in the room, there was only a sort of dim table lamp.

Wow, what can I say. What a gorgeous location and great hotel/motel. This was booked based on previous reviews and the property pictures and they were all very accurate. We spent hours on the free kayaks and enjoyed equally as much time in the water and sat enjoying the fabulous views from the jetty deck chairs. The staff are incredibly friendly and we met many guests who were returning here. The location is great, would recommend one of the reef snorkel tours as well on offer in the area. 5 stars, very impressed with this property.

That we have to leave this idyllic paradise!

The “beach” on property was very nice, all sand. Steps to walk into the beach area, and a huge dock. Lots of area to sit. Rooms was spacious and kept up very well, modern.

People would come in and out with their boat and dock who were not staying at the property. Making the beach area crowded. People who were not staying at at the property came and set up in the beach area and stayed the day. Leaving a mess and making so much noise. This should be more strict with the property.

Shower too small.

The property is ideal for what we do at the keys. We spend the entire day out on the water on our boat and come back, dock our boat safely with our assigned spot and shower to go out for Dinner.

The room was not as clean as it has been in the past. We have been staying here for a few years now and it was not as clean. There was no housekeeping during our stay. Not sure why- I forgot to ask when I checked out.
