Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Dec 06 2007 Get away from it all Everything and everyone was so laid back at this beautiful resort, it was unbelievable in today's fast-paced world. We stayed here for the first time last year, and we have reservations to return again this winter. We rated the service as "average"; however, it was there when you needed it. For the most part, we saw no staff, other than the occasional caretaker on the property, which added to the ambience. If you've ever wanted to know what it is like living on your own private island, this is probably as close as you can get. Although it is a bit pricey, we highly recommend The Moorings Village and Spa for the most relaxing getaway you've ever experienced.
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Sep 09 2006 A Jewel in the Keys My wife and I have visited the Moorings over 4 times over the last 4 years with our children and granddchildren, each time more memorable than the previous. The property is hugely photogenic and romantic -- a throw back to an earlier Florida, the one I remember growing up as a kid in Miami in the 50's. The Moorings sits right on the beach. We have stayed on cute and well appointed 20's style bungalows and cottages, some with as many as three bedrooms. The entire property sits on white sand, surrounded by coconaut trees. When we stay at the Moorings, my wife and I feel that we are in another world, the one of Florida that has not changed. The rooms have all the expected amenities (a/c, radio/ tv/ phones,free videos, kitchen; very clean bathrooms, etc.); the beds and furnishings are comfortable and have a South Seas/ Florida Keys motif. Across the road within walking distance you return to civilization, with several world class restaurants in the immediate area and plenty of ameneties in terms of stores and shopping facilities. We will celebrate our 37th Anniversary there this December and will continue to return as long as it remains an oasis of calm and beauty, and a reminder of old Florida and the Keys.
