Situated off the Keys between Marathon and Islamorada, this resort sits on 60 acres and includes an 85-slip marina. Five restaurants are complemented by a bar where President Truman once imbibed. The grounds contain five heated pools, eight tennis courts and a full-service spa. There is also a putting green on-site, and resort guests have privileges at the 18-hole Sombrero Country Club course, 11 miles away. A saltwater lagoon is home to seven dolphins.

The Details
The resort offers 269 villas in four styles, all with the amenities of a home. At 750 square-feet, the Bungalows are the smallest. The two-bedroom, two-bath Conchs come with optional spa pools.
