From the moment I arrived at La Jolla Resort, I felt completely at home. The property is beautiful — classic Florida Keys charm mixed with thoughtful modern touches. My room was spotless, cozy, and had that laid-back island vibe that instantly puts you in vacation mode. I loved the extra touches that make this place special: free kayaks, paddleboards, snorkeling gear, and bikes — perfect for exploring the water or cruising around Islamorada. The pool area and the private bayfront dock were my favorite spots to relax and watch the sunset. The location is also ideal — close to restaurants, shops, and attractions, but still quiet enough to feel peaceful and private. I honestly didn’t want to leave. La Jolla Resort captures everything that makes the Florida Keys so special — laid-back, friendly, and full of natural beauty. I can’t wait to come back!

Such a sweet little nook in the world! I didn’t realize when I booked that paddle boards, kayaks, snorkeling, equipment, and fishing were included! We enjoyed fishing and snorkeling. Our bed was very comfortable and our room was clean.
