Hersha Hospitality Lignumvitae Key Botanical State Park hotels

"I hadn't been to the Keys in about 40years; Booking a room at the Pelican Cottages was a lucky find! Being able to stroll down to the dock was a treat for early am coffee or a happy hour moment was lovely and the colorful Adirondack chairs made for a good sit waterside. Our room was comfy, but next time I will make sure we have a little kitchenette and we are a bit closer to the water. The staff was great; friendly check in girls; ladies tidying the rooms and the ground keepers were lovely - they would take time to converse and share info about local happenings. Only 2 downsides - the Wi-fi access was a bit of a pain as we had to continually log in and at we were bumped out while online. There are kayaks available which is a bonus - but they need to re-vamp the seats in the kayaks as they are messed up. Water is calm - you can snorkel if inclined, but not a lot of interesting fish to see . Some folks were fishing dockside, but didn't look like they were catching keepers. Overall - good experience though- we would return!"

"Everyone was so nice and helpful at this resort!!! I had such an amazing time and would definitely recommend to any family & friends!!!"

"I love the balcony and being able to look out at the water and see the boats go by. We’ll definitely book there again. Very nice."

"We had the absolute best fall break vacation here and will most definitely be back"

"Had not been to the Islander for three years. It has under gone a great upgrade all around the resort. Super nice place for a weekend. Will definitely be back. "

"Fantastic family resort. Like most of the Keys the properties are older but they’ve done a great job renovating the resort. Salt and Ash and Angler Ale had great food. We will likely go back. "

"It was a great quiet place to stay, great amenities just wasnt able to use them because we were out bird watching. Have some construction but otherwise, very clean, lots to do and the best views from even the off site rooms!!!"

"It was perfect?"

"A perfect getaway for couples — the atmosphere truly feels like something out of an episode of The White Lotus. The staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive, ensuring a comfortable and memorable stay. The property offers a wide range of amenities and experiences, so there's really no need to venture elsewhere. Everything you need is right here."
