buffet served on the poolside veranda, quiet walks through
the jungle like gardens. A popular activity is to rent a
bike and ride along the endless miles of bicycle paths the
Keys have to offer. You can even ride out on the old
7-mile bridge that spans the Gulf of Mexico & Atlantic

or lazing out on our small private sandy sunning beach,
then witness a Keys' famous sunset.
