Looe Key Reef Resort Dive Center

Just got back from a drive trip with them. Great service and crew, they gave us pre-dive info. Lots to see, rays, turtles, lobsters, small reef sharks and all the normal sea life. Short run out and back. Will go again when I'm back down here. Service: 5

Rooms were adequate, clean and beds were comfortable. Free wifi but I was never given the pass code. The only bad thing was the tiki bar next door had a live band, with the speakers all facing the hotel rooms so we had to listen to obnoxiously loud bass guitar when we were trying to sleep. If you're the kind of person that stays up late, this is a great hotel. If you go to bed early and get up early, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. Rooms: 5

Where do we even start? We heard about this place from a travel blog and the lady spoke so highly of her Looe Key Resort Snorkeling experience that we decided to give it a try. From the moment we met the crew we knew we’d have a blast. Captain Katie, first mate Chip and dive instructor Josh were all so friendly, funny and welcoming. They were thorough on their safety instructions, and how the trip would go. We even stopped once on the way out to grab a balloon that was floating on the surface to prevent turtles from getting caught in its string. The reef was incredible. The visibility was a little low from hurricane idalia stirring up the waters the week before. Nonetheless it was stunning and we saw a huge lobster, many colorful parrot fish, barracuda, and even a reef shark!! We had to cut our last snorkeling excursion short because of an incoming storm. Capt. Katie did fantastic driving back through rougher seas. At one point the crew put on snorkel masks to keep the rain from hitting their eyes. They had fun with it and made the most out of a less than perfect situation. Their priority was to keep us all safe and they accomplished that wonderfully! We had a complete blast and would do it again with this crew in a heartbeat!

Captain James and Josh were amazing in guiding us, and taking care of us, on our snorkeling trip. They were the utmost level and combination of professional, funny, knowledgable, and supportive. The sites they took us to were amazing, both with the amount of sea life were were able to see, and the ease of which we were able to swim and snorkel around. Thank you!

My wife and I have visited three times in the last year and a half. We love staying at Looe Key Reef Resort. The staff has always been friendly with us at the front desk, the crew aboard the boat too! The Tiki Bar is nice because it’s right there next to the rooms and the entertainment can vary but overall good drinks and the food was good. If you’re looking for a nice, inexpensive, easy place to stay this is it. The rooms are pretty basic but the ones we have had have always been clean and stocked. We were given anything additional we asked for such as extra towels etc no issues upon request. The convenience is nice to leave your room and walk a few feet to the dive center and the boat. We love it and will definitely be back to stay for more reef snorkeling adventures! Walkability: Very close to the gas station for quick snack, Tiki bar on site, as well as close proximity to the dive boat.
