Once you arrive, you may not venture forth until it’s time to go home. This 27-acre, oceanfront resort has it all – activities for all ages and interests, awardwinning dining, and oversized guest rooms that will prompt a sigh of satisfaction the moment you enter.
Practice your serve on one of six lighted tennis courts or tee off on a nine-hole, par three golf course. A 50-foot lap pool and second free-form pool invite swimming and sunbathing or you can take a dip in the resort’s saltwater swimming lagoon. Private swimming instruction is offered, along with water aerobics classes.
Caribbean Watersports, the resort’s dive center, offers private dive charters and free snorkeling lessons along with openwater certification and resort diving courses. See page 321 for more information. The 42-foot catamaran, Cheeca View, can take up to 50 on dive trips. The center also offers watersports rentals and “Enviro-Tours” to nearby Indian Key and Lignumvitae Key. For anglers, Cheeca’s concierge desk can arrange a deep-sea, reef or backcountry fishing charter. Don’t worry if you overdo the fun – a massage therapist will give you a therapeutic, hour-long massage right in your room.
For kids, the resort’s Camp Cheeca is a marine science and environmental awareness program for children ages six-12. If business must come before pleasure during your visit, Cheeca offers 4,200 square feet of meeting space and state-of-the-art conference equipment.
Diners have a choice of three different restaurants, including the four-diamond Atlantic’s Edge, specializing in fresh seafood, fine steaks and innovative appetizers. It’s open for dinner and Sunday brunch. There is also a casual, indoor/outdoor serving three meals daily, and an oceanfront bar offering light fare nightly.
Cheeca Lodge has 203 guestrooms and suites housed in a main lodge, and low-rise villas clustered throughout the grounds. Ocean, garden and golf course views are available, and some rooms have private balconies. Amenities include color television with video player, AM/FM radio and CD player, direct dial telephone with voice mail and dataports, coffee makers, mini-bar, separate tables for work and play, full length mirrors, deluxe bathroom amenities, hair dryer and double sinks.
