We should of known that the hotel was going to be bad when the people on the front desk are rude and nasty!!! We paid for something that we didnt receive, their excuse "Sorry this is all we have!! we thought you canceled. No refund just fight it with your credit card." What kind of service is that??

The week that my family and I were supposed to stay there, my sister is admitted in the hospital.. Since she is the one who paid for the hotel, we called to try and either get our money back or receive a credit... Fail. The guy was such a jerk on the phone. Not one bit of compassion for my... More

The Yellowtail Inn is disgrace. The place was filthy. The beach no way looked like what was depicted on their webstire. Our room had dirty floors, holes in every curtain and the futon which was suppose to be the sofa. Electrical outlet were open and the outlet for the kitchen was not up to code. The refrigerator was rusted all... More

Booked a room at this so called resort and barely could walk into the room because of the awful smell of urine! Christian at the desk then offers another room; super...only it is infested with hundreds and hundreds of flying bugs. So disgusting we leave and are told money will be refunded. Guess what? They do not refund any money... More

I'm sorry that you had an unpleasant experience. However, slamming us online does not expedite the refund process. More

Got to the room, kitchen & cabinets covered in roaches. All kitchens items was dirty. Room extremely small & very dusty/dirty. The is no BEACH front!... More

I'm sorry you didn't like the free upgrade you were given. Our housekeeping staff is very professional and they do an excellent job, and I apologize if their work didn't meet your standards. I'm afraid I don't understand why you would say there is no beach- I myself find it hard to miss. More

I stayed at the Yellowtail Inn for 6 nights in one of the oceanfront cottages (105 and 106 are the cottages). Elijah was the front desk person who checked me in. He was very friendly and helpful in arranging all of the accommodations. I had spoken on the telephone with both Joe and Christian and they too were soo helpful.... More

My weekend started out with me saying "I need to get out of dodge and run away". I live just up on the mainland in Homestead and wanted to visit Pigeon Key as it was the 100 anniversary of Flagler's first complete train to Key West. I'm not rich, not even 'comfortable' in some standards so I was looking for... More

You would think a small family owned property would at least carry amazing customer service for such a poorly maintained property. I was cursed out by the front desk manager, "Christian" for calling to change my wake up call more than once. When I went to confront him about his poor customer service and to check out to go to...

First of all I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your stay, but I feel like there must be more to the story. This is a resort for vacationing and relaxing, and wake-up calls are not a service we offer. Christian, our office manager, is a consummate professional, and is not related to the ownership. He is courteous and respectful to each... More

I agree with the stay in your car sentiment. Smelled so strong of lysol or something that we had to keep patio doors wide open to air out. Looked dirty; didn't want to touch anything. Swimming pool the size of a double hot tub. Outlet in bathroom didn't work. Shower curtain full of mildew. Dirty kleenex left in bathroom; hair... More

We are very proud of our rooms and we work hard to keep them in top shape, and I doubt if your room was actually in such a state. We have daily housekeeping service to make sure every room is clean.
