Playa Largo Resort & Spa Autograph

Key Largo, Florida Keys

Star rating

The hotel

The first island you’ll hit as you drive through the keys is Key Largo, most famous for it’s watersports with reef snorkelling, diving, and glass bottom boat tours out of John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park as must-do activities. Neighbouring the state park you’ll find Playa Largo set on 14.5 acres of secluded shoreline, providing your own piece of paradise to stay whilst exploring this part of Florida’s famous archipalageo. The private beach is the only thing between you and the sparkling waters of Florida Bay, where you can enjoy a range of watersports right from the hotel as well as venturing out to nearby attractions (of which there are plenty). There is a laid-back feel to the resort, perfectly in keeping with the area, but that doesn’t stop the facilities and service being up to standard. From a beach shack restaurant to a ceviche bar, all tastebuds are catered for, La Marea is a particularly great choice for locally sourced seafood and freshly handmade artisan breads and pizzas. When you’re seeking serenity after all the activity, book in at Ocean Spa where you can try specially formulated scrubs using coffee grounds, sugar, and salt. The top class service doesn’t end when you get to your room, an iPad is on hand to offer on-demand services to ensure your stay is up to scratch.

At Playa Largo Resort & Spa, the food’s as fresh as the sea breeze and the cocktails come with a view. Grab a waterfront seat at Sol by the Sea for Caribbean flavours done right, or kick back with ceviche and a cocktail at Las Olas—just steps from the sand. Fancy something fancier? La Marea serves up Mediterranean goodness morning and night. Keep it casual at Sand Bar, or dial it all the way up with a hands-on mixology class or private cabana dining with all the trimmings. Big flavours, breezy vibes, and not a dull bite in sight.

Make a splash or just kick back—your choice.

Service from all was fantastic especially by Kadesha. We will be back! Read less

I had the most wonderful birthday experience at Playa Largo Resort. My boyfriend surprised me with a day pass and a spa treatment at this resort and everything was perfect. The spa was absolutely delightful and the resort itself was impeccable with great amenities. We loved the beautiful pool and breathtaking ocean views. The beach was still and clear, perfect for relaxing. The drinks and food were delicious. We received exceptional attention from our server Edwin. He went above and beyond, consistently checking in on us and making sure we had everything we needed, Edwin made sure to make our stay as special as it was with his genuine care and attentiveness. We loved every single moment and will definitely be coming back for a longer stay. Read less
