Anyone know about this old resort in FLA Keys?

It was about 8 years ago, so maybe it's not there anymore. Abandoned hotel/resort on one of the Keys featuring beautiful overgrown rooftop gardens and big pink observation tower. Access was a trail through a bird sanctuary or wildlife refuge. I remember parking at the refuge and hiking out to this amazing resort, built in the 70s or 80s and left to be swallowed by the mangroves.
Any ideas? I want to go back.

Sounds like a great place. I love when site are overtaken by nature.

This is also of great interest to me, as I am flying down to the Keys in less than two weeks.
Hope someone knows something, as it does sound very cool.

Do you remember which Key it was on? I've only walked around Key West, but obviously to drive out there you have to drive through the majority of the other Keys.

Do you have any photos or a possible name or anything? I'm kind of curious about this because I won't be living down here for much longer and I'd like to do something epic before I leave for good.

I think it was either on Key Largo or Key West, but I really can't remember. It was pretty structurally unsound-- I wouldn't be surprised if some of the buildings and the tower have rotted and collapsed by now. Maybe someone in the area can help us out? I'll poke around on google maps satellite images, I guess.

Cool, hopefully we can get somewhere with this.
I've been snooping around on google maps and bing too.

If your in the Lauderdale area, I will be in the Miami area on my last day there.
Maybe we could hook up and check out some spots?
I had family in Ft. Lauderdale, so I have been there MANY times over the years.

Sure! I'd love to entertain a fellow New Englander around the SoFla area.

There are a couple different points of interest in Key Largo.

dyslexic, astygmatistic, & spastic.

Key Largo was pretty fun when I was down there for an ARG. I'd love to go check it out some more.
