So, just what happened to Islamorada’s former Post Card Inn Beach Resort? A lot. A whole lot.
Now boasting 214 island-inspired guest rooms, suites, cottages, and several terrific restaurants, it recently morphed into the spanking new Three Waters Resort & Marina.
The re-imagined oasis spans a whopping 15 acres of spectacular oceanfront property and is quickly becoming one of Islamorada’s most distinctive new dining destinations.
At the top of the list is the resort’s impressive signature restaurant, opening in 2025, Kindler Wood-Fired Fare, Serving wood-fired regional specialties, it’s all about the “WOW” moments here. A massive open-hearth kitchen takes center stage where master chefs sear, grill, and char inventive regional dishes from land and sea. Indulge in wood-roasted seafood towers, dry-aged meats, and a daily selection of fresh-caught fish.
If you appreciate an elevated cocktail and raw bar, Little Limon may be just the spot for you. Backdropped by sweeping 270-degree vistas of the Atlantic, it’s all about fresh flavors and Latin savors. Squeeze a lemon over just-shucked oysters, nibble on fresh ceviche and crudo, or pony up for an enticing selection of shareable small plates.. A great lineup of creative cocktails is the coup de gras.
At the epicenter of this luxe new resort is Mercado Morada. This unique outdoor “Street Market” celebrates Latin flavors from across Central America. The shaded ocean front pavilion is perfect for strolling the caravan of food trucks serving up easy eats all day long. Kick back with an Agave Cocktail and vibe to some intoxicating, hip-swiveling live music.
It’s “in the moment” social dining with spectacular views of the Islamorada Sandbar.
Looking for a slice of Paradise? The Islamorada Pizza Co. is Three Water Resort’s answer to inventive island pie. Outfitted with retro art and a beautiful ocean palette, Islamorada’s newest indoor/outdoor pizzeria fires up a unique selection of hand-tossed pies, snacks, and salads. Arguably one of the Keys’ most “think out of the box” pizzerias, you can order bold creations like the locally inspired “Islander Pizza.” Topped with white sauce, Scottish Bonnet sauce, fresh conch, and tomato-cucumber, it’s a delicious tribute to our tropical roots.
Oh, here is a special “heads up” for our Locals:
You’ll be happy to know that the Original Tiki Bar — home of the Keys “Rum Runner,” is still in the picture. Once known as “The Hapi Hula Hut,” this iconic beachfront landmark has been a popular stomping ground since 1969. It’s also where the original Rum Runner cocktail was invented by a local bartender known as “Tiki Jon.” The now famous concoction has become a Keys-wide staple. However, the legendary Tiki Bar still reigns supreme as the place to go for the real deal. With lots of lite bites, burgers, sandwiches, tacos and more, the casual Keys-inspired menu is better than ever. Epic sunsets, an island vibe and great live music — what more could you ask for?
On top of all these dining options (there are actually nine in all), Three Waters Resort & Marina also boasts a Rum Library where guests can enjoy tastings throughout their stay. Sounds pretty enticing, doesn’t it? Find it all at the new Three Waters Resort located at 84001 Overseas Highway in Islamorada.
