Looe Key Reef Resort & Dive Center is a vintage Florida motel that is basic, clean, and safe, catering especially to scuba diving and snorkeling guests. It is described as a mom and pop operation with an amazing and accommodating staff, who are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The resort features simple rooms with tile floors, and some include a fridge and microwave. There is a beautiful heated pool and a huge tiki bar that provides fantastic entertainment, including live bands and trivia nights, which is popular with locals and guests alike. The atmosphere is welcoming and not too loud. The attached dive center offers unbelievable scuba and snorkeling trips to Looe Key reef, noted for very high visibility and tons of fish.
