Stayed for a business trip and it was clean, comfortable, the staff is very friendly, a beautiful unit with a big balcony to relax and have a nice breakfast, lunch, or dinner, with comfy chairs and spacious table. The bathroom was updated as well as the whole unit. Very big and clean! We took our fur babies and there is a cute park for them to just roam around, or do some obstacle courses. Very clean and convenient. There is also a big heated pool with a jacuzzi, live music and a bar/restaurant that is also very clean and the staff is always friendly and helpful. There are hammocks and access to a nice beach area. Overall, this was a great experience. Not only for me, but my employees. The crew loved the comfort and space. Many thanks to the staff at KOA, you made our work days better just knowing we were coming back to a place that felt “homey. After a long day, we truly were able to re-charge our body batteries and keep going! Will definitely be coming back!!!

Really enjoyed our week stay. Suites are clean and everything is in good condition. Great for an extended stay. They don't supply a regular coffee maker so we brought our own. They have a Keurig type. Otherwise all that we needed was there.

The visit was excellent and i give this place 5 stars. The hotels are new and hopefully they are maintained well as the time passes. Of course i have my gripes that I will share. The elevator is a hot box. So recommend taking stairs as much as possible. The beds, couch, pillows were so-so on a comfort level but were all new and in pristine condition. The campground is well maintained. I didnt spend a whole lot of money on the property so cant provide feedback on everything. The bar and food seemed reasonably priced compared to what you will spend offsite. Make sure you get ice offsite as we paid 7.50/ 10lb bag and had just gotten back from getting live bait. If i would have known i would have purchased the ice offsite as well. Overall i would absolutely stay here again and highly recommended.

Stephen, I appreciate the feedback and am happy you recommend the Sugarloaf Key Hotel. We all work hard to be the best in the market and are proud of our beautiful resort. You bought the ice from our Marina store where we sell the large 16 Lb. bags of ice. Our General Store sells smaller 7 Lb. bags for under 4 each. We try to accommodate the needs of all guests. Hope to see you again soon.

There was 4 of us, the place was very clean. The amenities provided in the room was very good, we even managed to cook breakfast & dinner. Great recommendation by Sarah at front desk reception on the recommended place to have dinner. We asked for extra pillows & they were very promptly delivered. The only downside is that the reception closed at 5pm. So, make sure you get everything you need while the office is open.

Hello Joseph,Thank you for your feedback. I am happy your group enjoyed the amenities we provide. Our office actually closes at 8:00 pm but we do have a night host on duty until 11:00pm. If you called for pillows, perhaps the front desk receptionist was helping another guest so your call rolled over to the answering machine. We always do our best to accommodate our guests' needs.

I loved that there was a washer and dryer and full kitchen the the new North building rooms, our room overlooked the dock. The beach was large enough for the guest and fun for the kids. the Pool area was the best, fire pits, chairs all around, games in the pool area, hammocks also, very pleasant stay, I only wish I was there longer.

I would like to offer a comment regarding the lack of hot water coming out of the restroom sink faucet temperature wise. As well there is no plug to cover the drain in said sink to assist during shaving. Other than that we were totally satisfied and would highly recommend your facility. All the best. Please reply.

Hello Mike and Debra, Thank you for the feedback. I will have the bathroom sink faucet checked for hot water. It is strange only the bathroom sink water was not heated so it could be in the mixing valve. Without feedback like this we would know of a problem. Feedback is appreciated.

This was our first time back since the remodel. We were blown away at how beautiful everything is. My only complaints are there is no place for using a grill if staying in the suites portion. This is something that should be available as it would had made our vacation so much nicer. The old Koa haf a play area for kids which was nice for non pool times. We really loved the place and cannot wait to return. Hopefully we could enjoy a grilled dinnerthen ad a play area forkity

Hello Christine, I appreciate your feedback and I agree the addition of a grilling area would be terrific for our hotel guests. We are looking into it but have to stay within the county Fire Marshall's guidelines on location since the parking area has sprinkler's in stalled for safety.
