Islamorada Resort Collection (IRC) recently announced the opening of Three Waters Resort & Marina, formerly known as Postcard Inn Beach Resort & Marina.
Joining the IRC’s existing properties, Amara Cay Resort and La Siesta Resort & Villas, the new, upscale resort in Islamorada offers 214 guest rooms, nine culinary destinations and destination-based experiences that celebrate its location within the sportfishing capital.
“The newest addition to the Islamorada Resort Collection has quickly become the crown jewel of the collection,” said resort manager Hicham El Ibrik. “From the outstanding culinary experiences and renowned marina offerings to the watersport adventures, Three Waters Resort gives guests and locals unmatched access to experience the destination in their own way.”
Three Waters Resort & Marina is a member of Marriott’s Tribute portfolio, which allows guests to earn and redeem Marriott Bonvoy points during their stays and enjoy all the benefits of staying as a member.
Three Waters Resort & Marina is named for the three bodies of water surrounding the Florida Keys: the Gulf of Mexico, Florida Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Guests are greeted by a modern lobby featuring a design providing a feeling of nature, using coral stone and vegetation that reflects the native mangroves. A rum library, in partnership with Key West First Legal Rum Distillery, welcomes guests to sample locally-made spirits while checking in and throughout their stay.
The resort also features the Cove, an adult-centric, resort-within-a-resort that features only king rooms and suites. The Cove is tucked away from the main resort and offers a quieter hideaway, featuring a tranquil private beach lagoon and pool along with the Wave Motion Studio. The Cove will open later in 2024.
Three Waters Resort offers activities and programming designed to encourage guests to get in and out on the water. The popular “Fish Like a Local” class, also offered at Amara Cay Resort, will debut at Three Waters Resort. The class helps beginners and more advanced anglers learn proper techniques and best practices for fishing, specifically tailored to the Keys. Led by an experienced local guide, guests can learn fly casting, fileting fish, lobstering and more. The resort also offers a paddle cast and catch version of the class for those looking to learn how to fish directly on the water.
The resort has partnered with BOTE, a premium watersports brand offering high-quality stand-up paddleboards, floats and other water accessories.
Guests can take advantage of the Three Waters Resort Marina, which offers the deepest channel in the Upper Keys. It features 72 slips along with a fleet of experienced offshore and backcountry fishing captains, as well as a new boat valet service.
Guests can ride the all-new Rum Runner water taxi between the Islamorada Collection Resorts, and Miami Seaplane will be based at the resort to offer private charters to Key West, Miami and around Islamorada. Guests can book personal watercraft tours and guided eco-tours with Spray Watersports, located at the Cove’s marina. Three Waters is also home to the Islamorada Dive Center, where guests can arrange scuba diving charters, take scuba courses and enjoy snorkeling, spearfishing, sunset cruises, sandbar outings and more. When guests stay at one of the resorts in the collection, they will have access to the amenities, events and restaurants of all three resorts. Later this year, the resort will unveil an arcade experience where guests can enjoy classic video games, tabletop games and more.
Nine new culinary outlets will open along with the resort, offering a wide selection of cuisines to guests and locals alike that are not found anywhere else in the destination. They include the Tiki Bar; the raw bar and cocktail lounge Little Limón; the swim-up bar Kokomo; Mercado Morada, which features Central American street cuisine; Islamorada Pizza Co.; Lucky Twist, which serves up soft serve ice cream; Hideaway; Starbucks; and a signature restaurant.
