La Siesta Resort - Mile Marker 80.5 U.S. Highway 1 - Islamorada Florida
Every now and then you just seem to stumble upon a hidden gem. We drove up and down Highway 1 for two and a half hours one night just looking for a clean, reasonably priced place to lay our heads. It was dark when we finally pulled into La Siesta. A quick look at the room showed us that it was not only clean, but impeccably maintained and comfortable. When we woke up the next morning we knew we were on to something special. Check out this island paradise.
