We have been coming to the keys for years and have owned our own places. Now we live in California but still visit. We always came to the Hideaway to eat and thought when the time came it would be great to stay at the resort. It was well beyond our expectations. Old time keys living plus great breakfasts and...

Just like everyone else has mentioned, the staff is fantastic. We spent three nights at Rainbow Bend, and by the end of our stay we had made many new friends. This place is the epitome of "old school" Florida living. The pool is great. The boats were a highlight of our stay. The food and service were wonderful. If you... More

We decided to make our 40th anniversary special by a selecting a small and hopefully romantic hotel. Our expectations were so vastly exceeded that I can say that this was the premier trip of our 40 years. Yes, the Keys made it special, but the Rainbow Bend was beyond compare.

We stayed four nights and couldn't have been happier that we chose this place. It's clean, laid back and run by wonderfully friendly people. The view of the Atlantic is spectacular, the... More

My family had stayed at the rainbow bend several times when our kids were younger, but this was our first visit with just my wife and me. The first thing we noticed was how friendly and helpful all of the staff were. The reception staff, the boat guy, even the waiter at breakfast (who was always extremely busy) all seemed... More

just returned from 5 days at rainbow bend. if you're from up north like me, and looking to chill out and re-charge, this is the place. very nice complimentary breakfast on a second floor balcony, and one of the better restaurants if you want to stay close for dinner. if you're a fisherman like me, its very central to the...

My fiancé and I loved Rainbow Bend, we have vowed to go back every year. Having no schedule, feet in the sand right outside your room and a daily boat included = total relaxation! Oh, and the breakfast is so yumm!!!!
