Exceeded our Expectations

Shout out to Amanda, Danielle, Juan, Katherine, and the rest of the Amara Cay team for making our wedding turn out perfectly. Our venue was originally supposed to be at Postcard Inn but due to construction, we were able to be accommodated at Amara Cay. I couldn't of asked for a bigger blessing in disguise. This TEAM was PHENOMENAL. They were extremely responsive during a really challenging, stressful time for them as a group and for us during a big moment in our lives. They MADE IT ALL HAPPEN though! I was sooooo happy with Amara Cay. It's a beautiful resort and I wouldn't change a thing about it. If you're looking for a beautiful beach wedding and tiki hut, this is your spot! Beautiful oceanside views! Thank you so much to this team!!!!

AMAZING resort the best in Islamorada!

If you want a wedding in Florida keys I highly recommend the Amara Cay! The resort was beautiful, laid back, and exactly what I wanted. I had the reception in the Tiki hut and it was beautiful with all the twinkly lights! The staff was super nice and made me feel like a princess!

Beautiful venue

We wanted a small beach resort for our 30-person wedding and Amara Cay was perfect for it. Dawn and Amanda were great to work with, too. We didn’t see the site ahead of time but Amanda helped us get a sense of the property and we were not disappointed! The palm aisle is a perfect backdrop to the ceremony and the tiki pavilion was plenty big for our reception (roomy in fact). It’s a bit tricky to plan a destination wedding but we were happy with our choice.
