I recently stopped by this cozy little tiki bar, and I have to say — what a pleasant surprise! The atmosphere is fun and tropical, with bright décor and beachy vibes that make you feel like you’re on vacation.
It did take a little while to get seated since the space is pretty limited, and the initial wait for service was on the longer side. However, once we were greeted, our waiter was super friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home.
The real star here, though, was the food — seriously impressive! Every dish we ordered was flavorful and beautifully presented, far better than I expected from such a small spot. Once we placed our order, the food actually came out surprisingly fast and piping hot.
Overall, despite the short wait and tight seating, the great service, tasty food, and chill island vibes made it a memorable experience. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the mood for a little tropical getaway!

Love the beer and cocktail selection. All the bartenders were spot on, and the live music was fantastic (especially 06 October). They have a small food menu and we were a bit surprised that it was done so well. We loved the fish&chips, and the smoked fish dip!

Stayed at the 3 Waters resort and dined multiple times at the Tiki Bar. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the food was tasty, especially the fish dip! The outdoor ambiance was typical of the FL keys - fun and laid back, with live music playing in the evening.

I had an amazing experience at this bar thanks to Franchesca! She was super friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect the whole time. Honestly, one of the best bartenders I’ve ever had! she made the night way better. If you come here, definitely ask for her, you won’t regret it. Big shoutout to Franchesca! 🤧

Took me a while to find it — came here ALOT in late 90s but it was all tiki bar, reggae, rum runners and raw oysters connected with Kokomo inn immediately next door. Was here again maybe 10-15 years ago - pretty much like before. Now it’s all corp, modernized…well done but it took me at least 15 min to convince myself it was the same place.
Had the chicken quesadillas (they’re ok); chicharrones (crunchy and warm but I think from a bag — correct me if I’m wrong); elote bowl was “pretty good”. Rum runner was very good (not frozen)
Service was great. Atmosphere good, isn’t the same, but all fabulous things must come to an end and so with the 80s & 90s tiki bar on Islamorada. The new one is definitely worth a stop. I came down to the keys today for this place only…glad I did.
To the owners and managers…I get it…it’s a beautiful remake but for this old Buffeter I miss the old days at the Kokomo Tiiki Hut
PS. The bathrooms fared VERY well with the refurb. Very clean and modern!!
The customers Service is the best Ivan , Adalberto , Reiniel , Sandra and Jeiso

Shaneil and Chenell are both amazing bartender/servers. The hotel is very mediocre at best but the service and attentiveness they gave us was amazing. The food and beverage manger Linda came by and we told her the same thing I am posting here. Maybe hiring experienced and knowledgeable individuals like Linda, shaneil, and chenell would make this Marriott property actually worth the Marriott name.

Big thanks to the amazing crew at the tiki bar in Islamorada — Adalberto, Raydel, Yadierki, Roan, and Alexa! You guys made our afternoon unforgettable with your great vibes, top-notch service, and incredible hospitality. It’s rare to find a team that makes you feel like family — but you all did just that. We’ll definitely be back soon. Cheers to good drinks, great people, and unforgettable memories

Open waterfront seating. Food dishes were very small and drinks were over priced. We spent a week in the keys and while this is the home of the rum runner, it was a nice stop.
