Amazing western view’), the ‘best kept secret in the upper keys’ quality (‘the property is beautiful, the room was spotless and I haven’t slept like I did last night in YEARS. The bed, bedding, etc was so comfortable’), and personal customer service (‘I have been visiting the Florida Keys for over 15 years, and while most properties share a similar basic setup, it is the level of customer service that truly sets them apart. This is where Azul del Mar truly excels’). Guests paddleboard, swim, snorkel and use canoes right at the property. Best for couples wanting a quiet upper-Key-Largo sunset-view boutique with paddleboarding, canoeing and beach right at the property.
What Guests Are Saying
“I have been visiting the Florida Keys for over 15 years, and while most properties share a similar basic setup, it is the level of customer service that truly sets them apart. This is where Azul de Mar truly excels. The rooms are impeccable, and the entire property is spotless. It is a wonderfully quiet location with a dedicated staff that genuinely cares about their guests. You will not regret choosing Azul de Mar for your stay. This will now be my go-to destination in the Keys. I am happily leaving behind my previous lodging, located just a few miles farther down the road.” — Companion24859684697, 5 stars
“We rented the Boat House room. It was very clean. It has everything you need if you want to eat there. I was extremely happy that it had a keurig coffeemaker with everything you need to have a coffee in the morning. The outdoors is very well kept. The only thing I didn’t understand was that around 12:30 at night someone is doing fumigation for mosquitoes with a very noisy machine. It didn’t bother us because we were awake. But the timing is not right. The ladies on the front office they all were very nice and helpful. We are already making plans to stay there by September.” — ana1430, 5 stars
“Azul del Mar is the absolute best secret of the Keys. It is the perfect romantic hiding location for a getaway. Our room was incredibly clean, featuring a very comfortable bed and excellent pillows that made it hard to wake up. One of our favorite parts of the stay was having coffee in the morning while looking out at the sea, and the evening sunsets are simply irreplaceable. To top it all off, the service is just a text away, attentive, fast, and seamless. We will definitely be back!” — Truth R., 5 stars

"Okay so I read the obvious Karen”s one star review. Absolutely ridiculous. You’re in a hotel…. Ummm I don’t think I’ve ever stayed in a completely silent hotel. Some people will always find the negative in everything. Let’s get down to business. This hotel is an absolute gem! It’s our favorite! It’s QUIET, CLEAN, and private. It’s breathtaking. If you’re looking for a quiet relaxing time this is your place!! Everyone that works there is so kind and helpful. The rooms are so clean. We stayed on the backside of the hotel facing the water. It had a little living room, a refrigerator, dishwasher everything you would need for a stay. They provide WiFi and free washer and dryer on property and they provide the detergent and dryer sheets. That’s so awesome. So if you’re a human that goes through life with a glass half empty…. Please do not jade this beautiful property for others. It’s not fair. We will always come back here!! It’s a little slice of paradise. We are at a few great restaurants, Snooks it’s on the water they have great food and great music!! Joe is awesome! Ziggy Mad Dogs is excellent, the Italian Company Rocks!!! There is also an amazing Indian restaurant excellent food and service. Called Zaika it’s right down the street. So good!!"

View on Google"I hesitate to give this place 5 stars, as it may not be available next time I want to visit. This charming little place, conveniently located towards the north side of Key Largo on Hiway 1, was all we needed to help enjoy our stay. Beautiful landscaping and a scenic view of the sunsets are just some of the reasons to want to come. Amenities such as a place for laundry and the convenient parking and a small beach help wrap up the reasons, but the people we met there are top- notch, very classy people. Both staff and guests. You can bet that in the future, we shall be checking this place out first. Thank you, Azul Del Mar."
