Florida Keys Resorts
Sunsets and Seascapes At The Pines and Palms Resort In Islamorada In The Florida Keys
The Florida Keys
beckon. It's here you'll
find some of the best
places to go fishing or
dive into the ocean to
explore the sea life. Of
course, there's plenty
of shopping options as
well as attractions, and
fabulous food to enjoy
as well in the Florida
Keys. When in comes to
planning your trip you
have plenty of
selections, and one of
our favorites is the
Pines & Palms Resort in
Islamorada, Florida,
located at Mile Marker
80.4. The mile markers
you'll spot make it easy
to find what you're
looking for on your
trip.
We loved the comfortable villas at the Pines & Palms Resort, which offered a sunset view and all the amenities you'd find at a large resort. The villas are cozy, and there are larger 2 and 3 bedrooms for families and groups, kitchenettes are available, and there's WiFi, so you can check in with the real world. Then again, you're on vacation, so skip that idea and take a bike tour; everyone does in the area. Go kayaking, or bring back your catch of the day and cook it up on the grill.
For a snack or
coffee in the mornings,
(except for on
Wednesdays when they're
closed,) head down the
street is the
Midway
Cafe. We love the Midway
Cafe for its location,
welcoming staff, and
great prices. There's a
sandwich shops, and
choices of muffins and
other goodies. It's a
great place to drop in
and catch up with the
locals, who can keep you
updated on the events
and sites to see in the
area. And, out in front
you'll spot a sign that
makes a perfect photo;
especially when you
stand under the "You Are
Here" arrow.
In the Keys you'll enjoy a laid back and relaxing trip. Here, time slips by slower than on the mainland. The people you meet are also laid back, and always ready to lend a hand, as is the case at the Pines & Palms Resort. If you need directions to a great dining spot, just ask. Want to know where you can find the best fishing spot, they can help you with that too! From snorkeling or scuba diving, there's a variety of outdoor recreation and seascapes to explore in the Keys. Whatever you need, Chris, Ana or Jim will be happy to assist you.
Our favorite time was relaxing on the porch of our villa and just soaking in the sunsets. If you don't mind getting up early you'll also see some beautiful sunrises. Lounge around the heated freshwater swimming pool, and you can also bring along your boat and dock it on the water. The Pines & Palms Resort has a ramp for boats up to 32 feet, which makes it perfect for a day out on the water, and then enjoying a great evening with family and friends.
We hope you have as much fun as we did during your stay at the Pines & Palms Resort in Islamorada, Florida!
