Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Lime Tree Bay Resort is often praised for its prime location in the middle of the Keys, making it easy to explore the area. Guests frequently enjoy the complimentary kayaks and paddle boards available, as well as the private deck areas perfect for watching sunsets; though some have noted that traffic noise can be noticeable due to the hotel's proximity to the highway. The on-site Florida Boy restaurant is a popular choice for meals, especially with its convenient continental breakfast and lively atmosphere.
