After coming here for a few years, I'm extremely disappointed with my recent experience at Skip Jack. Some of the front desk new faces were not very customer service oriented. Restaurant food was overall awful! It's really a shame, considering this place is located in such convenient location. I doubt we will ever come back here again...

We have been coming to Skipjack for over 5 years, and have consistently received quality service, delicious breakfasts, and a clean and spacious room accommodation.

Check in staff very pleasant. There was a disagreement between guest in the lobby while checking in. Made it hard to hear the staff while explaining the facility. Rooms were nice, view not so much. I paid extra for that. On site facilities are old. Amenities were OK. Restaurant on site not really ideal. We had dinner last night at Faro Blanco. I would highly recommend staying there! Same price even a little less. Beautiful facilities and views. Sorry Skip Jack's we will not be returning.

The staff here was extremely nice and helpful. The only problem was that booking on hotels.com led me to believe that we were getting a large 2 bedroom suite. We were just given connecting hotel rooms. It also said there were kayaks on the property which there were not, the game room had been vandalized so it was closed, and the bikes they had to ride were restricted to the property, which is just a parking lot. The pool was very nice and the pool bar was fun. We had booked a three night stay but left after one. The manager did refund us for a night, which we very much appreciated. I think the main problem is that it is advertised as a resort when in reality it is just a hotel.

The room was cleaned daily and fresh towels provided. The staff was very informative and the location was perfect for us.

Very nice and comfortable. Overlook the ongoing construction and this place is one of the best places to stay on the island

The only thing is that the elevator was still not working. Had to walk up four flights of stairs or walk down the long hallway. Other than that it was a nice stay.

SkipJack is a lovely property. Our room (and probably every room) had a bedroom with a second room; sitting area & kitchenette. Plenty of seating at the pool. The pool bar is a fun little spot. Breakfast was great! Made to order eggs! bacon, bagels, waffles, cereals etc also available. We would definitely stay there again

Good hotel ! Rooms are in great condition
2.0 / 5.0
The property was ok but not what I thought it would be. The area around the hotel is under construction and it's not the cleanest area. It rained the night before and the only road to the property was completely flooded so we almost unable to get there. I would probably not stay there again.

The rooms are very nice! The pool area and bar were great! And the continental breakfast was wonderful! Thank you for a nice stay, we'll differently recommend others to stay at Skipjacks. Loved the view of the boats.

Overall a nice place to stay. Clean and King bed very comfortable. 1BR very spacious with sink, microwave and fridge. Tiki bar service was extremely slow due to new wait staff. I didn't have any hot water in the shower at first and it was late so rather than wait to have it fixed the next day or change rooms, I found the hot water temp controller adjustment in the living area closet and turned it up from 37C (body temp) to 43C so my wife could actually shower. Most would never figure this out. Noted this to the staff at checkout along with the slow bar service. They just said 'ok'. No, 'sorry for the inconvenience'. With the extra $72 in resort fees, you might think they'd take a little off, but these days great customer service is mostly non-existent. Would possibly stay here again, but likely look around for something else if staying more than 2 nights.

Exterior under renovation. Overall wasn’t an issue. Pool, bar, lobby, and rooms were very clean.

Our room was great. Spacious and comfortable.
The breakfast by the pool each morning was very nice. Made to order eggs, toast, bagels, waffles, cereal, juices and coffee or tea…
Central to everything in the Keys.
Some ongoing renovations at the property.
Great staff.

Better cleaning, like actually washing floor, it was black dirty. Toothpaste inside drawers in bathroom. I rewashed drawers and took towel to wash floors and had to get wet wipes to wash down everything else.
3.0 / 5.0
Overall, this place did not meet expectations from what is seen in the advertised photos. The room we stayed in needs a good deep cleaning as evident by the dirt on our feet when walking barefoot, dust in the room, dirty tables, and just overall smell. The internet service is horrible on the third level and we were told they would reset the router; it would work for a few minutes and then go out. This was problematic as we still had to work a bit and had to repeatedly reset the router only for it to go it again. This appears to be an ongoing problem on the third and fourth floors, so I am not certain as to why something isn't done to boost the signal and address it.
On a positive note, the pool was nice, but the furniture cushions could use an upgrade as many cushions were stained and/or ripped. Additionally, the food was very good when we ordered dinner. The restaurant staff was amazing and very friendly.
Overall, there were pros and cons when we stayed here.

Skipjack's is a great place to stay in the Florida Key's. This is our second multi-night stay and we love it there. Rooms are clean and nice. The staff is friendly and they have good entertainment nightly. Skipjacks will be our first consideration when we stay in the Key's next.

We had a nice stay. Friending atmosphere. Live music each night we stayed which we enjoyed. There was some building construction close by that was adding some dirt and noise.
3.0 / 5.0
Our room had a poor view! Our room was not ready when we arrived. They said they would call when it was ready. They never called. We had to check back and then still wait on it. When we did get a room the hardwood floor was still wet and very sticky. The floor was dirty! When getting in the shower, dirt would come off your foot into the shower. Our white socks became very dirty! Poor view from our balcony! The nice area was the tiki bar pool area. Bartenders very nice! Great pool. Good music! The restaurant area was closed. Had to order food from bar and sit outside or go to your room!

Live music by the pool bar every night, often crowded with locals. Blu Bistro Restaurant was delicious—we ate there twice during our stay. Continental breakfast offerings were made to order, quick and delicious. Clean, comfortable room. Staff was friendly and attentive.

Property is in need of some updating - it was ok for a place to sleep - rooms were clean .

I have been going here for years, when it was Sombrero. I'm sad to see the decline of this property. I understand there seems to be some construction at the Villas, but I was puzzled why the parking under the Manatee building was roped off and filled with junk and also had what appeared to be jacked up in each spot. The Continental Breakfast leaves much to be desired. If you're going to serve waffles, at least use griddles that aren't so encrusted that you can remove them when they're done, and get waffle irons like any other place that turn to cook. Sadly the property has declined and it looks as though the ambience is the only concern. Lounge chairs are a pretty color, yet they're worn and ripped.

Really nice rooms, amazing food @ blu bistro, fun poolside concerts& super friendly people!

Just wasn't what was expected. Floor in the room was dirty. Was expecting a balcony over the boat channel , not the parking lot.Noticed that certain parts of the building were not structurally sound. Staff in many cases were very unresponsive.
