Islamorada

Islamorada (in the Florida Keys) and the Cheeca Lodge were a nice change of pace after the craziness of Miami Beach and my family. We loved the views, the beach, the beautiful rooms, and the relaxed environment. I especially loved the turn-down service, which included chocolate truffles. :)

We were also really impressed by the lodge's commitment to the environment. It's too bad more places in the Keys don't follow their example. While we loved the warm weather, beautiful beaches, and snorkeling opportunities, the development all along the Keys was staggering. It made me pine for my beloved Ocracoke... in the Spring, of course.
