Three Waters Resort & Marina, formerly Postcard Inn Beach Resort & Marina, will open to guests in fall 2024. This new, upscale resort is part of the Islamorada Resort Collection, which also includes Amara Cay Resort and La Siesta Resort & Villas. 

Located in Islamorada, the “sport fishing capital of the world,” Three Waters Resort & Marina spans 15 acres of oceanfront property. The resort will feature 214 island-inspired guest rooms, nine distinct new dining concepts and a variety of authentic and upscale experiences.

Three Waters Resort & Marina joins Tribute Portfolio, the growing collection of independent hotels from Marriott Bonvoy, as the brand’s first location in the Florida Keys. The property celebrates the three most beloved elements of the destination: sun, sand and water. These elements are highlighted in the design, colors and materials used throughout Three Waters to bring to life the beauty of Islamorada.  

The new resort will feature the Cove, an adult-centric, resort-within-a-resort boasting island-inspired guest rooms and suites with only king beds, a private beach lagoon and the resort’s Wave Motion Studio. The remaining guest rooms and cottages will have a family-friendly, Keys-inspired aesthetic. The lobby provides a feeling of nature using materials like local coral stone and vegetation that reflects the mangroves of the Keys. It also boasts a Rum Library where guests can enjoy tastings throughout their stay.

“Guests are invited to discover an all-new Florida Keys experience at Three Waters Resort & Marina, a Tribute Portfolio Resort, where we are blending the history and authentic spirit of Islamorada with new and unique guest experiences,” said general manager Matt Skaletsky. “We will offer something special for every guest. Whether you’re looking for innovative culinary experiences, unparalleled fishing and watersport adventures, a relaxing family vacation, or a romantic couples’ getaway, the new Florida Keys awaits.”

Among the dining destinations are the iconic Tiki Bar, Central American cuisine at Mercado Morada, a cocktail and raw bar called Little Limón, Island Pizza Co. and a swim-up bar called Kokomo.

An all-new water taxi, Rum Runner, will be available to transport guests between resorts within the Islamorada Resort Collection and Miami Seaplane will be based at the resort and offer a seaplane service from Miami as well as charters to Key West and around Islamorada. Guests can easily book jet ski tours and guided eco-tours with Spray Watersports located at the Cove’s marina.

Two retail stores will open with the resort in Abel’s Tackle Shop and General Goods and Salt + Sea Islamorada Lifestyle.
