For those who come and decide to visit the Keys here's a review.

These were my top picks based on looking at their web site and reading reviews in guidebooks and tripadvisor and other web sites.

We just back from the lime Tree Resort on Long Key. Located just below Islmarada in a fairly remote part of the Keys. This place had no tikis and was great!! The rooms were clean and the employees friendly. If you go, make sure you bring everything you need - the closest grocery store is about 15 miles away. There is an Italian restaurant right next door that serves aall day long. There is a pool, a boat dock, alot of hammocks, grills and a "beach" area that is a great place to hang during the day. We snorkeled right off the beach and had a great time drinking in waist deep water (see picture). Lobster season opens the week after we were there and while snorkeling I've never seen so many lobsters just hanging around. We saw lobsters, nurse sharks, a sea turtle and a million small fish. WE WILL GO BACK!

Here's a picture of our group watching the sunset at the end of the day. CHEERS.
