My stay at Skipjack had its ups and downs. The pool area was fantastic, and the staff provided some of the best service I've experienced. However, the rooms were uncomfortable, especially the bed, and I faced issues with the dining options. The location also has potential but was marred by some disappointments during my visit.

I had a lovely stay at Skip Jack. The location was great for exploring the Florida Keys, and the staff went above and beyond to share local tips and make us feel welcome. While the room was spacious and comfortable, the view from the deck wasn’t ideal. The dining options were limited, but the breakfast was satisfactory. Overall, it offered good value for our trip, but it could use some improvement in the restaurant offerings.
