The Chesapeake Resort in Islamorada has been a favorite vacation destination for Florida tourists for more than fifty years. Located in the heart of Islamorada, The Chesapeake offers guests convenient access to all of the favorite local pastimes including fishing, scuba-diving, dining, and shopping. Despite its central location, many choose to spend much of their time relaxing right at the hotel that boasts a private beach, ocean-front pool and Jacuzzi, and an extensive marina facility.
