Cute, clean

Older property, no beach access as this is a fishing resort but cute and clean. Cafe was confusing to order food from, but good once we figured it out.... this property is not really walkable to anything like food or a bar. Pool was great.

Firstly, the staff was amazing. Very friendly. Very accommodating. I cannot say enough good things about the staff. Overall, the property needs major updating. But the main issue is an issue of overall property maintenance and cleanliness. The beach area was completely littered with plastics and garbage to the degree where you cannot walk or swim in that water. This was very disappointing as the reason I booked the property was because of the the private beach. It appears as though the plastics get brought in daily with the tide, and there they remained throughout the entire stay. It is the responsibility of the property to maintain the beach and they do not. The grounds are also littered with dog feces and cigarette butts. There was a strong smell that permitted into the actual buildings from outdoors. This property has a lot of potential due to the location, but management needs to work on keeping that beach clean.

We had an excellent experience at Rainbow Bend. Staff was friendly, hospitable. Property was nice. My only “complaint” would be about the sargassum amounts, but that’s not resort’s fault. We would definitely come back!

I absolutely loved our stay at Rainbow Bend Resort! Our room was super cute with an incredible ocean view. The night sky was breathtaking, Mornings were just as beautiful with serene, calming views. The room was very clean and cozy (yes, the walls are a bit thin, but it didn’t take away from the experience). What really stood out was their customer service truly incomparable. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful.

Property is right on the Atlantic side of the island with beautiful views. And amazing for sunrise viewing. Sunset views are just a couple miles south of the resort. Staff was great and always asked if there was anything we needed. Onsite hot tub and pool were great as well. The onsite restaurant was amazing as well. Highly recommended for a quaint keys vacation
