Rainbow Bend Resort receives mixed reviews, with many guests praising its location, quiet atmosphere, and friendly staff. While some rooms are recently updated and offer comfortable amenities like full kitchens and beautiful ocean views, others describe basic accommodations and concerns about cleanliness and facility maintenance. The breakfast is frequently highlighted as a positive, but issues with the restaurant and pool area have been noted.

The rooms look better than the outside. It's great that it is located right on the water, but the smell was overwhelming of sulfur. You didn't want to spend any time outside. There was lots of seaweed that made it stink. There is no sand entry into the water. The edge is lined with rocks. Breakfast was complimentary and it was good. The server was very nice. They do not do the rooms every day. View was amazing. Don't stay on this side of the island due to the smell. I recommend anyone coming to the Keys to stay in Key West.

Excellent hotel in a prime location in the Central Keys. The breakfast was delicious, and the rooms were spotless and very well maintained. The property features a private beach open 24 hours, adding to its appeal. It’s a quiet, family-friendly place—highly recommended. We would definitely come back!

I thought i had already completed a review but I may have missed it. This place was so welcoming! They greeted us with a toast with sparkling wine and wonderful smiles! The water was so clear and so warm. The room was wonderful and the restaraunt upstairs was delicious ? A must to stay here and will definitely be back!!! Thank you all for a great stay!!!

Perfect retreat. This resort is not high maintenance bougie but prefect for adults to get away and relax. There’s a pool and hot tub facing the blue ocean, kitchenettes, a grill and a lot more to enjoy. This is a hideaway delight in the keys

This place is great! From Julissa, to Summer, to Heaven, they are awesome and so welcoming. I also want to mention the housekeeping staff is ready to assist with whatever you need. Breakfast in the Hideaway Cafe is excellent! Frieda is gracious. The french toast and blueberry pancakes are delicious! My husband and I are looking forward to next year's stay!!

Beautiful resort, looked like the two rooms we stayed in were recently updated. Our ocean side room was beautiful, the other room near the highway needed a few additions. Would definitely stay again. Staff was great as was breakfast!

We stayed a week and it was a good enough place to sleep for probably a cheaper price then all the other hotels. If they maintained it well... they could increase their prices. Staff is very kind but over worked. This is clearly an owner issues. If you are looking for a soft sand beach for your kids to run around, this is not it. It's got a sandbar you can fully see as the tide retracted. It was about 4 feet deep a mile out during the day.

Booked through Expedia and the listing was misleading. I was told the room would have a queen-size bed, but it was actually a full. There was also a dead cockroach in the room, which was very disappointing. On top of that, there was a hidden $45 resort fee that was never disclosed in the listing or during booking. The only positives were the outdoor breakfast seating and the beach access. Overall, not worth the price given the issues.

2nd time we decided to stay here, the first being about 3 years ago. Came for 2 days for Thanksgiving with the wife and son, and was very disappointed. Got a black Friday deal on Expedia and purchased the slightly more expensive room option to enhance the chances of a better view. We got placed all the way on the other side of the resort where nobody was at near the dumpster. Again, black Friday deal, we were just happy to get a room. Problems with both of our AC’s. Free Breakfast was cancelled both days of stay. The first day they did have a few pastries and bacon, but they were trying to prepare Thanksgiving meals for the afternoon, which you could purchase for $160 per couple. 2nd day, nobody showed up to serve anything. Other than AC issues, room was very pleasant, and beds were comfy. Upon checkout, when turning in the key, staff up front seemed irritable, and disinterested in having any conversation or to exchange greetings. Could have been a lot worse I suppose, but having been there before, and remembering nothing but excellent service and accommodations, this was a real letdown in terms of what it costs to stay there, plus the lack of advertised amenities. Maybe it was because of the Holiday, or maybe it’s new management, but this trip did not seem in line with what we experienced when we came here before.

Lovely room,more like a cottage with a living area and kitchen, cool little beach, dog friendly. And the welcoming spirit and delicious "expertly prepared " meals that come from Freda and Johnny' kitchen at the wonderful Hideaway Cafe on the property made our stay a perfect one! We will be back!
