I’ve stayed at Bakers Cay several times and will continue coming back. The hotel is beautiful and offers a sense of tranquility and peace that can’t be found in other places. I have gone with my boyfriend and had a romantic stay but also gone with children and had a family friendly stay. The food on site is always delicious and the service is always top tier. The sunsets on the dock are one of the best I’ve ever seen. I always recommend this hotel and am never disappointed.

I recently stayed at Baker’s Cay Resort in Key Largo while celebrating my birthday, and I had a wonderful experience. The property is beautiful, the atmosphere is relaxing, and the entire stay was memorable. I would especially like to recognize Tashera from Montego Bay, Jamaica. She was incredibly kind, helpful, and genuinely caring throughout my visit. She went out of her way to make me feel welcome and treated me with a level of attention and warmth that truly made my birthday celebration even more special. Exceptional service like hers makes a lasting impression, and I wanted to take the time to express my gratitude. Thank you, Tashera, for your professionalism, kindness, and for making a great stay even better. I highly recommend Baker’s Cay Resort to anyone looking for a beautiful Florida Keys experience. I look forward to returning. — Guillermo Teran

Let me start with the good, because there is some good: the staff here are genuinely lovely people. Warm, responsive, and clearly doing their best. When I woke up in the middle of night with a cockroach crawling across my head yes, you read that correctly, on my actual head. The next morning the front desk handled it graciously. They moved me to a new room and issued a $200 credit without much fuss, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, that goodwill was short-lived. Day two in the new room, I found another roach. In the bathroom. Just living. By day three, pest control had been called in to spray. Not exactly the relaxing getaway I had in mind. The hotel itself is split into two sides, the hammock side near the water is genuinely peaceful and lovely, the kind of spot where you could forget your problems. The coconut side is the opposite: lively, loud, and packed with people if that’s your scene. Our first room was on the coconut side, and to give credit where it’s due, the view from that room was actually fantastic genuinely one of the better aspects of the stay. It’s just a shame that what was crawling around in it overshadowed what you could see from it. The rooms show clear signs of wear aging fixtures, tired furniture nothing catastrophic on its own, but context is everything when you’re already sleeping with one eye open. The food on property was mediocre at best and expensive at worst. We ate there twice and didn’t go back. Plenty of better options nearby that won’t charge resort prices for forgettable meals. The $200 credit softened the blow, the staff were kind throughout, and the waterfront hammock area was a genuine highlight. But two roaches in two rooms across three days isn’t a fluke,it’s a pattern. I can’t in good conscience recommend staying here until they’ve addressed what is clearly an ongoing pest issue. Beautiful setting, sweet staff, and a bug problem that no amount of credits can fully fix.

Honest review from someone who values their money and vacation time. Rooms are dated and show lots of wear/tear. Staff is mostly friendly but can take time to respond. Our room was given to another party before we arrived so we were bumped to an accessible room. Beds are very hard, but surprising sleep well. The rinse area for the sand coming from the beach is about 15ft from the stairs, so you rinse off then walk through sand, so it’s pointless and you track sand into your rooms. My biggest complaint is the room selection. You cannot find good/accurate pictures of the rooms online. We had a waterfront, water view room that had us staring through tree tops to be able to see the water. It is peaceful and the water is beautiful, but this is not a full scale resort like they advertise. I would not pay for a nicer room as they struggle getting you into the accurate room type anyway.

Yes, the forced valet parking is ridiculous, but if an extra $35/day is going to ruin your vacation, don't come. Aside from that, the grounds are beautiful and incredibly well-maintained. The rooms are fantastic and taken care of by a wonderful housekeeping staff. The paddleboards and kayaks are brand new. What really makes Baker's Cay special is the staff. From the valet team, to the front desk, to the maintenance crew, to the servers/bartenders at the restaurants - everyone we came in contact with was super friendly and welcoming. We have 2 more days left here and wish it was more. Can't wait to return to Baker's Cay very soon!

We recently stayed at this hotel and had a mixed experience. Our suite was comfortable overall, but the bathroom was extremely small—so small that when you opened the door, it nearly touched the toilet. It made the space feel cramped and awkward to use. Housekeeping was also disappointing. On the first day, our room was cleaned, but no fresh towels were left behind. On the second day, housekeeping didn’t come at all, and we had to track down a cart ourselves to get clean towels. That level of inconsistency was frustrating and not what we expect from a hotel stay. That said, outside of the bathroom size and housekeeping issues, our stay was pleasant. We especially enjoyed the amenities included in the resort fee—playing corn hole and foosball, and taking advantage of the paddle boards and kayaks. Those activities added a lot of fun and value to our trip. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of Calusa, the hotel’s nicer restaurant. The other restaurant was disappointing. With some attention to housekeeping consistency and room layout improvements, this could easily be a much stronger experience overall.

You feel like you entered another world when you arrive at Baker’s Cay. The property and grounds are stunning and beautifully maintained. The natural beauty is very accessible here. It’s very much a destination in itself, not just another hotel in the Keys. We stayed in the Bakers Cay suite (2BR/1BA) with 2 adults and 3 children and it was just perfect. The children had a great time at the Pool, Beach, and Garden. The separate family and adults pool is very thoughtful and lets everyone get their fix. We didn’t dine in at the restaurant or bar, but the poolside drinks were great and not outrageously priced.

Baker’s Cay Resort is a beautiful property with a strong ambition to feel upscale, but in our experience it fell short in several key areas. The grounds and setting are lovely, and we’re glad we visited, but the overall execution didn’t match the premium price point. The water-sports and recreation equipment available for rent was visibly worn, not particularly clean, and felt heavily used—something that detracts from a resort positioning itself as high-end. Dining was another disappointment. While the restaurants are nicely designed, the food itself was largely underwhelming and did not meet expectations for a resort of this caliber. The biggest issue, however, was the overall atmosphere. Throughout the weekend, other guests were yelling in hallways, slamming doors late at night, and shouting at children on the beach. While this is not entirely within management’s control, it significantly impacted the experience and did not feel consistent with a luxury resort environment. When we raised concerns, staff mentioned that deep discounts had been offered to fill the resort that weekend—which was surprising, considering we paid a premium rate for our stay. Overall, we’re glad we experienced Baker’s Cay, but it ultimately wasn’t what we were looking for. With better crowd management, improved upkeep of amenities, and stronger food offerings, it could better align with the upscale experience it aims to deliver.

We stayed here for our 10 year wedding anniversary for 4 days and 3 nights in november of 2025. The room was beautiful upon check in. Jannell (the restaraunt manager) made our reservation for the private gazeebo dining experience and went above and beyond. She decorated our room with flowers and even put petals down on the bed. She chose Justin to be our server for the gazeebo dinner and he was amazing. His service was perfect and he was very relatable and friendly. Ashley the concierge also went above and beyond with our reservations and continually checked in on us to make sure everything was meeting our expectation and we were enjoying our stay. The beaches were fun and beautiful and the staff really made the difference to make our trip memorable. We will be returning next year with the whole family and our dog to share the experience.

We had a very good trip to Bakers Cay in December. Grounds were beautiful and the beach areas were nice. The accommodations were good and everyone we came across was very friendly. Breakfast was pretty good and filling while lunch was the best with the Mahi bowl. If staying in the Hammock building, I’d highly suggest the 3rd and 4th stories for a view of the water and not trees. This rating should fall somewhere between a 4 and 4.5 for me. Would definitely go back.
