Stylish waterfront · Private beach · 110 rooms

Best for travelers who prefer a compact, stylish Islamorada resort with a private beach and direct access to Matecumbe attractions.

Quick Verdict: Reefhouse Resort & Marina vs Amara Cay Resort

When Reefhouse Resort & Marina wins: choose Reefhouse if you want more on-site marine activity options, a larger property (153 rooms), multiple venues for groups and weddings, and a full-service spa plus extensive event space near John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park.

When Amara Cay Resort wins: choose Amara Cay if you prefer staying in Islamorada (Matecumbe) in a smaller, stylish resort with a private beach and fewer rooms — it’s a simpler, walkable option for visiting local Islamorada dive spots and bars.

Bottom line: both are waterfront Upper Keys resorts with pool and beach access; pick Reefhouse for a larger family-focused resort with a marina and more on-site activities, or pick Amara Cay for a compact Islamorada stay with a private beach and a more intimate property size.
