Junior Suite, with Sofa bed, Oceanfront

This suite faces the water, with an oceanfront view toward the Atlantic. Three Waters sits on 15 waterfront acres at mile marker 84 in Islamorada, where the Atlantic Ocean, Florida Bay and the Gulf of Mexico meet. If waking up to open water matters to you, the oceanfront category is the one to choose over a room without a water outlook.

The suite has 1 King Bed and 1 Double Sofa Bed in a one-bedroom layout and sleeps up to 3 guests. That suits a couple with a child, a small family, or three friends travelling together. A free crib is available for families on request.

The private bathroom has a bathtub or shower, with free toiletries including shampoo and soap, plus towels, toilet paper and a hair dryer. Premium bedding and daily housekeeping keep the rest of the suite fresh as well.

A nightly $65 resort fee covers a daily Rum Runner water taxi, a daily 4-hour bike rental for two guests, daily 3-hour kayak or paddleboard rentals for two, a shuttle between mile markers 77 and 85, a welcome cocktail for two, a reusable water bottle per guest, beach and pool loungers with umbrellas, self-parking and enhanced Wi-Fi.

You will find a 37-inch flat-screen TV with cable channels and closed captioning, a coffee/tea maker, a refrigerator and complimentary bottled water. There is also air conditioning, free WiFi, an in-room safe, an iron and ironing board, a laptop workspace and a wardrobe or closet.

Three Waters is set up for groups, families and couples, with three pools and several beaches for all ages. The Kokomo Pool has the only swim-up bar in the Keys. Adults who want a quieter break can use The Cove, a separate 21+ section with its own beach and pool. That rule applies only to The Cove, not to the resort as a whole.

The suite is reached via exterior corridors and has a ceiling hoist and a closed-captioned TV. Guests with specific mobility needs should mention them when booking so the resort can arrange the stay properly.

Check-in is from 4:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM. The main guest must be at least 21 and show a photo ID and a credit card at check-in, and should tell the resort their arrival time in advance. A deposit of one night's room rate plus one night's resort fee and taxes is taken at booking. Early check-in or late check-out may be possible for an extra charge.

The resort has 12 culinary destinations, from casual beachfront fare to elevated coastal dining. They include Kindler Wood-Fired Fare, the Little Limón rooftop bar with 270-degree ocean views, and the original Tiki Bar, which has live music Thursday to Sunday evenings. The full-service marina offers daily offshore and backcountry fishing charters, and Robbie's of Islamorada, famous for hand-feeding tarpon, is nearby.
