Frommer's Review

The Lime Tree Bay Resort is the only place to stay in the tiny town of Layton (pop. 183). Midway between Islamorada and Marathon, the hotel is steps from Long Key State Recreation Area. It's situated on a very pretty piece of waterfront graced with hundreds of mature palm trees and lots of other tropical foliage. It prides itself on its promise of no hustle, no valets and, most amusingly, no bartenders in Hawaiian shirts! Motel rooms and efficiencies have tiny bathrooms with showers, but are clean and well maintained. The best deal is the two-bedroom bay-view cottage: A spacious living area with new furnishings leads to a large private deck where you can enjoy a view of the Gulf from your hammock. The full kitchen and two full bathrooms make it a comfortable space for up to six people. Fifteen efficiencies and suites have kitchenettes. Pretty cool in its own right is the Zane Grey Suite (named after the famous author and screenwriter, who lived right around the corner), a two-bedroom, one-bathroom unit with the best views and a second-story location with private stairs.

Facilities:
Restaurant; small outdoor pool; tennis court; Jacuzzi; watersports equipment/rentals.
