The staff was very personable and accommodating.. it was our 32nd weeding anniversary and they had left a handwritten note and a treat in our room… it was appreciated… The grounds were nice and clean with the exception of the water area around the end of the property where the event area is located did have ALOT of trash which was unsightly.. Having use of the Rum Runner, bicycles and shuttle service was very convenient.. The view from our ground floor ocean view room was pretty awesome..

Perfect Resort

Great time with friends at Amara Cay Resort. We stayed in the one bedroom with 2 queen beds which was the perfect set up for us with a little kitchen and sitting area. The water taxi to the other resorts was an added bonus.

Nice little resort atmosphere

Hotel was very clean, friendly and helpful staff. Our bathroom door handle would not lock, neither would our patio sliding door, normally not a big deal but had our two young kids with us. The ability to get off property and have access to the other two properties and amenities was nice and a good change of scenery. All in all, was a good experience for the price.
