What is surprising wonderful Little Jewel we found in the rainbow. I liked it so much. My wife and I booked Labor Day already. We asked for the same room that we had and we and they gave it to us. I had to spend the evening with some of my local friends. They all raved about the restaurant there the next morning I had breakfast, which was fantastic and all the guest I met raved about the meal they had the night before, so when you do stay here make sure you plan at least one meal that lady is wonderful.

Enjoyed our stay.

Enjoyed our stay at The Rainbow Bend. It’s an older place that has some areas for improvement but the property is great. The restaurant on premises didn’t look like much but after doing some research it sounds like it’s one of the better places in the keys to get some really good food.

I love the grounds and the location. The hot tub was a treat. The rooms need improvement. The bathroom smelled like mildew, not very clean. The room only had one towel and one roll of toilet paper. Had to ask for more. The room needs to be upgraded. The breakfast was edible but nothing special. Not sure if I’d stay here again. Maybe if they did some renovation on the rooms and bathrooms. It has potential but someone needs to invest in it.

The property and staff are amazing! Breakfast is included and cooked to order. The views from the private beach are breathtaking! The only gripes are about the thin walled rooms, you can hear your neighbors every move, and no conversation is private. The rooms have been nicely updated and modernized with new bathrooms, flooring, and paint. If I was not such a light sleeper I would go back.

With the exception of Maurin who went above and beyond to address all the issues we had( some of them health issues) we did not feel the place gave any value for the money. On Expedia it said breakfast was included but they still charged us $9.99 per person saying the veggies in the omelette were not included. The front desk staff did not seem to agree

The hotel is on a beautiful property but it’s run down and old looking. The AC in room 20 was so loud I could not sleep. I am not a light sleeper. The AC is also located right above the bed. The room itself has an updated shower andexcept the toilet was old stained and cracked.
