We Must Have Missed Something.

2.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 20 Sept 2024
Not sure what others saw that we apparently missed in our visit to the Glunz Resort. Because it is apparently the "off season", the restaurant was closed. Then there was the lack of cool water from the faucets on probably one of the hottest days of the year. Finally, there was the small room over-looking the residential area (i.e., not the ocean) which failed to impress us. Over-all, it was disappointing and a poor value for this time of the year in the Keys. And to top it off, even the palm tree in the beach side of the hotel has been battered to the point of appearing as an eye sore. Over-all, we apparently missed the resort everywhere but in the room price and resort fees...
Date of stay: September 2024
Room Tip: Negotiate a better price at check-in. There weren't many guests there while we were visiting, so...

Mr. 320RobertS,

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are sad that this trip was not the experience you were looking forward to. Thank you for bringing the cold-water issue to our attention. We have since sent our maintenance team to evaluate it. We do have rooms that offer ocean view as well as larger rooms than the one you choose to reserve. Mother nature is very brutal especially with plants that grow in direct wind. We do hope that you will give us another chance to give you that "Resort" experience that you were looking forward to.

Really lovely hotel with super staff, clean and spacious rooms with good facilities. Get the ocean view rooms for the amazing views, the hotel is on the beach and the ocean was lovely and warm in September. The pool and hot tub are clean and chilled.
We went early September, Havana Jacks bar next door was closed for maintenance but the walk to the Key Colony Inn, the Island Fish Co and Sharkeys landing are all very doable.
Really really enjoyed our stay, we can’t recommend the Glunz enough, we will certainly be back.

We had a great time here, we got an excellent room that walked straight onto the beach. We felt safe in the area and routinely got to experience a very care free time. The pools were both excellent, including a very nice hot tub. The restaurant within walking distance to our room was also fantastic, would recommend the burger. We also had a great time with the staff who were always kind and helpful when we needed anything, in particular, Savanna was great whenever we needed anything after hours. I would fully recommend visiting.

Pleasant surprise
We enjoyed the pool mostly and the thunderstorms the other day.

Nice staff in office

Beach looks nice but a little rocky and has sea grass on shore but that was typical all over the keys.

The room was standard but we had a view of the ocean .
Bed was comfortable but pillows way too high for my neck. Ended up using a towel rolled up for a pillow.
I could have used more of a comforter on the bed, they had a sheet and a very thin cover. I was cold. Husband was fine.

There are bikes to use and paddle boards we did not take advantage of that.

We hope to come back another time.

Pleasantly surprised by this property! I had reservations with it being an outside entrance “motel”. But it was super clean, updated, comfortable, well maintained, and the amount of amenities were also a pleasant surprise. The little coffee area in the room comes with a vintage looking mini fridge and microwave, a Keurig machine with k-cups, and all the supplies to make a good cup of coffee. We stayed here last minute and it did not disappoint. Nice area on the beach. The pool was very clean. They have live music at the tiki bar. Wrist band room keys are extremely convenient. The ladies working the front desk were kind, courteous and treated us very well. We will definitely be staying here again. ***there is areas to fish on and around the property.

We enjoyed staying at Glunz Ocean Beach hotel and resort. Beautiful resort! beds were extremely comfortable and the entire place was very clean. The deck lounge chairs have a tag on them with a QR code so you can order drinks and/or food from the restaurant next door and have them delivered right to you at the pool!!

We had a medical situation come up and they were very understanding and accommodating.

Will definitely come back and stay!

Room tip: Some great restaurants to eat at were: Porky’s BBQ and Island fish company
