5/5
Our family of 5 loves to come here and get away from the city life. My husband and I love the old time Keys feel just like when we were growing up. Rooms are clean and cozy plus the Ac runs cold. The Hideaway Cafe breakfast is amazing and my kids love to eat there to start the day. The sky at night is breathtaking and you will hear tons of fish splashing in the water. The staff is nice and very attentive. We can’t wait to go back again!

The Rainbow Bend Resort was just fantastic. The staff were always friendly and helpful. There for anything you needed. Rooms were clean and freshened up when ever you needed. Sunset on the beach fronts was breathtaking. Food was excellent also. Can’t wait to stay there again. Great place to relax and unwind from daily life.
