Quick Verdict: Amara Cay Resort vs Baker's Cay Resort Key Largo, Curio Collection

When Amara Cay wins: choose Amara Cay if you want a compact, family-friendly oceanfront resort in Islamorada with direct water access, a zero-entry pool, a private sunning beach, beach yoga/massages, and easy access to Islamorada attractions and water activities.

When Baker's Cay wins: pick Baker's Cay if you want a larger, Hilton-affiliated Key Largo resort with more on-site bars and restaurants, extensive meeting and event space, and the conveniences associated with a major brand (24-hour business center, limo service, multiple lounges).
