Lime Tree Bay Resort

Just stayed here in January of 2016. It was a fun place with a friendly staff. Lots of fun stuff to do (weather permitting) 2 pools a Jacuzzi, bikes and kayaks. The hammocks and pier provided a perfect setting to watch the sunset. Our basic room was great with a small frig, microwave and coffee pot. I would definitely return!

Amazing! We rented the 3 bedroom 3 bathroom townhouse across the street. Yes crossing the street sucked but the house was amazing for 6 people! We lounged in hammocks, went to the pool, staff was wonderful and got free breakfast. Was great price and clean. Jacuzzi was not hot and breakfast was just bagels and toast but for the price we paid it was well worth it! It was beautiful in the keys!

We are staying here now. Great atmosphere, clean rooms, and so much fun! The pool is wonderful, cozy hammocks, and a great restaurant for breakfast (not the free one). My only complaint is the chain on the curtain kept falling off. Great staff

We stayed here for two nights. Nice, central location in the middle keys. Cute little kitchenette with beach view right in front. Our «bungalow» had two rocking chairs and a table on the front patio. It was lovely — a great place to meet your neighbors and fellow vacationers. There is not much by way of swimming at the Lime Tree but there is Sombrero Beach, 20 minutes away in Marathon. Lime Tree offers free SUP, kayaks, and canoes. It was really fun. We had no problems with bugs… and the pool & hot tub were GREAT. Never crowded. Front staff friendly and helpful.

This resort is great!!! The rooms are clean, modern and comfortable. The Hemingway suites are perfection. They had a large bathroom with tub. The kitchen is big and fully loaded. They even have dishes available. The pool is large and has plenty of areas to sit. The scenery is post card perfection. The sunset is one and a million. The staff is helpful and very nice. They have free kayaks and paddle boards available to use for guest. The beds were super comfortable and the AC works great! They even had a continental breakfast available everyday with fresh breads, juices and pastries.

We stayed in a ²⁄₂ room in the Hemingway building and the view from our terrace was awesome! This resort is very quiet (well, if you don’t bump with a noisy family as we) but overall I recommend it, they offer kayaks, a pool and a heat pool and a very decent continental breakfast: coffee, orange juice, bagels, muffins and pastries. They served it across the street in Aquapazza restaurant and you can also take it to your room (but no room service here). If you’re a coffee lover, I suggest to bring your own because the one they have here is terrible. That’s my only complaint. The rest is fine to spend a little vacation.

While the resort was well appointed and comfortable, our stay here was disappointing at best. Firstly, we paid $ 199 for a basic room with 2 Queen-​sized beds. 24 hours later the same room showed up in Expedia for $ 129. I mentioned this at check-​in and the reply was basically one of «Well, that’s the way the cookie crumbles. We would rather get $ 129 for a room than nothing.» It was downhill from there…
They were out of complimentary beach towels so we had to use skimpy bath towels.
We were told that we could rent snorkeling gear and go snorkeling just across the street. Nope. No snorkeling within the area. (This was the main reason we booked this resort.) We could, however, drive to a Big Box Store miles away and buy a mask and snorkel and then find a location along the Keys to have the experience. I live in Chicago. Like I have the need to own snorkeling gear.
Their restaurant was closed but they did offer a complimentary breakfast of coffee, muffins, bagels and pastry. No fruit or granola to be found…
On the positive side, the resort seemed to cater to families and the sunset was gorgeous.
Do I recommend this resort? No.
Would I stay here again? Not on your life…

Could use washable linen bedspreads. Maybe clear seaweed as it created odour and prevented many from swimming. Pool was very small. Grounds well look after and nice and units were functional with comfortable beds. Would not spend more than $ 150 as the rooms could use a reno and continental breakfast is just muffins and coffee.

I love love love this hotel!!! The only thing that bummed me out was years ago you could park infront of your hotel room now you have to drag your luggage to around the building and in gavel… its not the easiest thing to do! Everytime I stay there its AMAZING!!!

We stayed for 3 nights at this lovely resort. Unlike other places we’ve stayed on the Keys, the overall atmosphere at Lime Tree was very relaxed. Our room was clean. It wasn’t very large, but who spends a lot of time in their room when you can step out your door and onto the beach! You have to go a few feet out from the shore to get to the clear water, but once you did it was great for swimming. We also enjoyed taking the kayaks out, relaxing in the hammocks, and eating in the tiki huts.
Continental breakfast was very simple, consisting mostly of bagels, muffins, coffee, and tea. It was served in very small quarters, so you had to be quick about getting your food and getting out of the next person’s way!

What a great place to stay in the keys. It’s a great halfway point or if you just want to relax. We stayed here for 2 nights in may and the weather was perfect. The room is cottage like with a patio and rocking chairs with view of the ocean right in front of you, about 50 feet away. There are hammocks and tables around the resort and they have a pool right on the water as well. The resort is about a 15 –20 minute drive to islandmorada. There is a boat rental place right next door that has the best prices through south florida. The resort also has kayaks available, but we didn’t not have time to use them. I would definitely come back and stay here again!

This is a great option if you are traveling with a group to the Keys and want the more-​laid back experience over the party scene experience. You are a good ways from Key West and the chaos that comes with it, but you have plenty of options here. Our group rented the three bedroom townhouse, which was perfect. Overlooking the canal (Atlantic side, I guess?), with a pool and bbq grills right outside our front door, we really enjoyed the amenities.
A few glitches we didn’t realize until check-​in:
–Our unit was across the street from the main property, so crossing the street was a bit annoying at times, waiting for traffic to let up.
–The nearest grocery store is 40 miles away, so be prepared if you plan to take advantage of the full sized kitchen.
–We brought a jet ski on a trailer, and were not able to park on the grounds. There’s a marina about a mile away where you can park but there is a small fee for keeping your vehicle/​trailer there overnight.
But whatever, once I sat in one of the many hammocks on the gulf side property all my stresses were gone! There’s another pool located on the gulf side overlooking the water, which seemed to be the party pool during my stay. We enjoyed the pool and took advantage of the kayaks offered by the resort, as well as ate a few great meals under the tiki huts.
The unit was nice and the beds were comfy. It was three floors, with one bedroom on the second floor (the main living area and kitchen are on the second as well), and two bedrooms on the third floor. Only the master bedroom had a TV in it, which seemed odd, but we were so tired from being out on the water all day it didn’t even matter. I really enjoyed the balcony off the living room. It was relaxing to look out over the water while having a glass of wine or morning coffee.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and wished we had more time here to lay about on the hammocks and lounge by the pools.

We stayed here for a Mothers Day’s Weekend Trip. We called the resort directly and booked one of the 3 bed 3 bath townhouses. These townhouses are across the Busy Overseas Highway on the Zane Grey property. There are 10 units, one of which is permanently rented out to the Volunteer Fire Department. Each Unit has three floors, and there is a pool, grill, and canal access for the unit. All wonderful!!!
The pool was great! The Grill was Awesome, since I grill almost every night… and they provided the propane. Had we had a small boat, I’m sure we would have used the canal access. The units are adorable on the outside, and the grounds are well maintained. The main report grounds however need a little updating. Some of the chairs are falling apart, but the view… WOW! We watched the sunset each night.
The staff was accommodating and very sweet. Apparently this is a Family Owned Resort, and they worked with us on a huge misunderstanding. The website makes it look like Dogs are welcome at the townhouses, However they were not. The website needs to be more clear on this, and I informed the booking staff that we were bringing the dogs.
The house though, just looked well used… sad!
The couch was flat, the sitting chair in the living area was also flat.
the floors were covered with a layer of dirt, and i had to buy a swiffer at the Publix over 20 minutes away, to clean the floors on both the middle and third floors.
There was only a TV in the living room and in the Master bedroom, the other two bedrooms did not have one. There wasn’t even alarm clocks in the bedrooms.
There were nicks in the walls, scrapes and nobs missing on the furniture, and broken fixtures on the fans.
The Wifi worked okay, but slower on the third floor.
The Bedrooms had what they say were Queen Size Beds, but they barely fit myself and my Husband. We did not sleep well at all! I also had to wash the comforter on the bed, it had what looked like dried vomit on it! Gross!
Overall it was a nice stay, just not a spectacular one.

We really wanted to like this place. We have passed it so many times. We even could have stayed at the Hilton for free because of our points but decided on Lime Tree. The only reason my wife and I are giving it a two is. One for the Awesome room. Bed is perfect. Two, love walking out right to the water. The front desk ladies don’t pay attention to anything you say. PERIOD. Wife and I asked if the place is quiet, they smiled and said yes. Please don’t put us next to screaming kids. Well we stayed in room #117, room #116 had a drunk idiot yelling and screaming all night. Finally at 2am i called for help and the front desk did answer and seemed concerned but the noise continued. Who just yells all night WAHOOO at the top of your lungs. The NASCAR race ended 10 hours ago. Room #118 had a screaming kid. Go figure. Started at 7am. I guess we should have expected this but not at $ 170 a night. We really thought it was a romantic kind of place. Its not at all. In all fairness we did walk around the facility after we had been woken up. The other buildings had no noise coming from them. GO FIGURE. Back to a resort thats a chain.
Lesson learned

This resorts offers a lot Beach, pool, hot tub, & a beach marina deck.
I booked a king got to double qweens :(called front desk & nothing she would do.
Horrible!!!

B.E.A.UTEEEEEFULLLL view!
Friendly staff. Coffee is better in the front lobby.
AC was SUPER cold. Adorable little kitchen, great accommodations for cooking instead of going out.
Quiet, peaceful. Not real updated. Grounds immaculate.
If you need a mirror and you’re only 5′ tall. you need to use a chair hahaba.
1.5 hour away from key west… pray there is no accident on Hwy 1…

Great accommodations.
Good location in between Islamorada and Marathon.
2 Pools and a hot tub
Reasonable price.
We stayed in a town home and it was fantastic with 1 room with a king bed and 2 rooms with 1 queen bed in each.
Kitchenette and Laundry room with 2 tv’s and 3 patios with a dock.

Not sure where my original review went (there was a duplicate page) so I’ll post another. My family (4 adults) stayed in the townhouses on the canal side for several days this past summer (’14). We have stayed in numerous condos and several houses at various beaches and know you can wind up with a range of conditions, amenities and service. I’d say Lime Tree was somewhere in the low~middle. It seems you pay a lot simply for being in the keys, which I feel leaves little incentive for improvement.
First impressions were that the place is cute. Overall clean and in good order if not sparce in the décor department. Rooms were, however, not detailed so to speak. I found unused feminine hygiene products in a drawer and the shower curtains were pink which indicates bacteria. So I wore flip flops and cleaned for myself… Otherwise, we enjoyed the 2 balconies and patio overlooking the working canal and neighborhood. (If you can’t abide stairs consider a room on the Gulf side.)
Considering they call it a resort, I expected a tad more. Depending on who you met in the offfice or around the grounds, they could either be friendly or brisk. Nevertheless, management did hush a groul when their noise level grew unreasonable which we and other families truly appreciate.
Location. Well many locations in the Keys have to deal with the main road noise and crossigs. Lime Tree is no exception.
Finally the real reason we went – The water is fantastic! Calm and warm like a bathtub. The word beautiful is much too overused to sufice. Sure their «beach,» pool, and dock could use more privacy, seating and sprucing up, but I was there to relax not analyze. If you don’t like the feel of seaweed (though it is more authentic) bring water shoes along with your snorkel and sunscreen.

I really really really really really loved this place. I think my favorite wasn’t the bay area, the pool, the rooms or the staff. but it was all of the above including the homey feeling I received from this resort. The second you pull up to this place you realize you are entering a beautiful property and it comes with that «I’m home» feeling, instantly. Not only was this place the first real Key experience for my boyfriend and I but it was everything I imagined a resort would be in the Florida Keys.
The location of this resort is prime. Smack dab in the middle of the Florida Keys on Long Key. We planned this on purpose because we wanted to be able to explore both sides of the keys without having to travel many hours to each side. Key West was a little over an hour and Key Largo was just about the same. This really came in handy because we had booked a day of snorkeling on an upper island and also wanted to have a day of exploring Key West the following day.
Anyway, upon entering the lobby of Lime Tree Bay Resort, my boyfriend and I were greeted by the most wonderful front desk associate. I really wish I could remember her name but I can’t for the life of me. She was the sweetest and beyond helpful. Upon checking in she gave us a FULL run down about the hotel and the area surrounding. I’ve never received so much useful information during a check in or have I ever been checked in to a hotel with such care and kindness!
The entire hotel was gorgeous. Lots of lounge areas filled with relaxing chairs and hammocks, huge clusters of palm trees (very jungle-​like in some spots), an abundance of wildlife (cute crabs and lizards running around, even a pair of doves that seemed to love Lime Tree Bay Resort because we saw them every single day!), a dock that stretched out into the Gulf of Mexico, a very useful pool and hot tub and a few scattered cook out areas for all your beach grilling needs!
We were directed to park behind the hotel so after check in we did just that. We knew exactly where our rooms were without even looking thanks to the kind lady at the front desk… so we made our way there from the parking area.
Our room was on the ground floor which I appreciated very much. Once we arrived to our room I quickly noticed the two cute rocking chairs and table we had on our little walkway by our hotel door, loved it. The door to our room faced the Gulf which was excellent… nothing like waking up in the morning, stepping outside and seeing the crystal clear water.
Our hotel room was small but perfect. You don’t need a large room when you’re in the keys, unless you plan on staying in your room the whole time I guess. It had a beach-​y homey theme to it. The bed was king sized and extremely comfortable… I think there was a couple nights that I didn’t move once… TV remote in hand and all, haha. There was a huge desk over by the window and on the other side of the room there was a mini fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. Our room had ample storage space including the cabinets and closet. The bathroom was extremely small which I didn’t mind but if you are a larger person this could be an issue, especially in stand up shower. The bathroom came with clean towels, make up remover wipes (very useful, although I brought my own), shampoo and tropical smelling soap!
The hotel offered free breakfast, which did the trick for our hungry morning stomachs. Breakfast included bagels, muffins, danishes, coffee & OJ ! It’s free, so no need to complain! In the lobby there is also an espresso machine which I loved using. The hotel also offered free pool towels that you have to sign out, but can use during your stay and free use of kayaks, which if we had more time at this hotel we would’ve totally used those.
This hotel had everything we would ever need and for the price we paid I would most likely stay here every time I go to the Keys. It was peaceful, relaxing, and very enjoyable. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful, the grounds were beautiful and the rooms were clean and homey.
All in all, if you want peace of mind and a place to just relax on vacation… I would recommend Lime Tree Bay Resort.
