Mac’n Soul Good is the first and only 100% vegan restaurant on wheels that infuses food and compassion. Natural always and organic whenever possible, the ever-changing menu is served up in biodegradable packaging. All ingredients are plant-based, so you're not only doing service to your body, but the planet as well. They cater to those with food allergies, too!

The Pork Shop is a Miami food truck serving a strictly “PORKETARIAN” menu. Savory, delicious and a Miami staple, The Pork Shop is taking Miami's favorite protein and putting it on wheels. Their motto? “PORK TO THE MASSES!”

2011-08-20T14:10:00.000-04:00

It was another busy week here at Holiday Isle! Celebrities Carmen Electra and Brooke Hogan were here in the Florida Keys filming "2 Headed Shark Attack". The boat that they went out on for filming was docked here at Holiday Isle and they were only too happy to oblige us with some pics!

The Movie Premise: When a Semester at Sea ship is sunk by a mutated two-headed shark, the survivors escape to a deserted atoll. But when it starts flooding, the coeds are no longer safe from the double jaws of the monster. 2 Headed Shark Attacked will be released on DVD in January.

Our renovations project is in full swing and we are pleased to announce that the Oceanfront Pool is back open for business! The Inn East Building is almost complete and the Tower Building is coming along nicely. We are starting to see dramatic changes in the Horizon Room as well as the Quarter Deck so for those of you planning Holiday Parties or other events after November you better get in touch with our Sales Department before the space is all reserved!!!

The riders left the Miami-Dade Police Department at 9am for thier destination of the Tiki Bar at Holiday Isle. I am sure 635 bikes roaring down the Florida Turnpike and Route 1 was quite a sight to behold. The riders were escorted by members of the Miami-Dade Police Department and Monroe County.

'Steven Seagal' sighting; Stangs of South Florida; Renovations; Tiki Bash!! All at Holiday Isle Resort & Marina, Islamorada, Florida Keys!!

2010-10-09T01:24:00.000-04:00

Holiday Isle Resort and Marina in beautiful Islamorada, Florida Keys, has been a buzz of activity over the past months with a surprise visit from actor Steven Seagal, the Mustang Club 'Stangs of South Florida', and Renovations.

One evening in March, Dockmaster Kat Harper was assisting a boat into the Marina when, to her surprise, actor Steven Seagal, threw her a dock line. Mr. Seagal, and his family, were in town for several days of fun fishing and was kind enough to allow Kat a picture.

The Mustang Club, 'Stangs of South Florida' made their annual trip to Holiday Isle Resort in September. The club makes this trip to honor those who died on September 11 in the attack on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and United Flight 93.

Club members put hours and hours into creating a 'Memorial Wall', complete with pictures, and info, about every person who died in the attack on September 11th. It is truly a heartfelt display. If you would like to see this wonderful exhibit, watch our calendar for the next scheduled 'Stangs of South Florida' visit in September of 2011.

Renovations are underway at the Isle. Construction crews work on the Tower Bldg. balconies. When completed, the building will have a completely new facade. Roofing is scheduled to begin shortly. Room renovations will follow. The Isle will remain open during these renovations, with only sections of the buildings closed at a time. The Bimini Row Shops are now gone and the World Famous Tiki Bar now has a beautiful ocean view from the ground level.

'Fun and Sun' at Holiday Isle Resort and Marina in Islamorada in the beautiful Florida Keys!!!

2010-03-16T23:09:00.001-04:00

The sun has come alive at Holiday Isle Beach Resort and Marina and the Isle has come alive with the sun. The week was a buzz with Spring Breakers and the Bikini Contest drew a great crowd.

UPCOMING EVENTS: Sunday, March 21, 2010 and Sunday, March 28, 2010. Spring Break Bikini contests beginning at 2:00pm at Centerstage.

The sun brought out the bathing beauties on the 'Mermaid' rock at the beach. The 'white head' is the mermaid. The waters were crystal clear blue which adds to the beauty of the Florida Keys.

The new 'Beach Volleyball' area is sure to be a 'hit' with Spring Breakers and families alike. It is located at Rumrunners Beach at the North end of the property.

We all welcomed the warmth of the sun after a chilly start to season. At left, guests enjoy Floaters Pool and catching some rays.

The 'World Famous' Tiki Bar was enjoyed by guests and locals alike. A great place to kick back, have a 'rumrunner' (invented right here at Holiday Isle) and listen to a variety of music...right on the water.

If you are in the 'mood for food', you can enjoy dining at Jaws Raw Bar or the Wreck Bar. As evidenced by the picture at left, we had many hungry guests this week.

The crowd came out to hear 'DJ Dave' MC the first Bikini Contest of Spring break at centerstage. Of course, we all know the crowd was more interested in the 'Beautys' that graced the stage.

The Spring Break Girls came out in full. Some 30+ contestants vied for the prize.

AND THE WINNER IS.........!!!!!

Guests and customers were not the only visitors at the Isle this week. This flock of 'hungry' pelicans waited patiently for a few scraps of fish at the Backcountry Fishing Charter Dock at the Marina.

As the sun sets on a beautiful week at the Isle, we look forward to what the new week will bring. If you would like to join in the fun and sun of Holiday Isle Beach Resort and Marina, visit our website at http://www.holidayisle.com/ and make your plans for a fun getaway in the sun. It will be our pleasure to make your stay a most memorable one. Until next week............

Holiday Isle Resort and Marina weekly happenings blog is back!! Thank you for your patience while we underwent some revisions. Much has happened while the blog was on hiatus. The Resort has received a major facelift as you can see from the pictures in this post. Everything is white, fresh looking, cleaned up, and our beach has been revived with 'tons' of sand. We are very excited about the positive direction of the resort and invite you all to 'stop in and say hello'!!!

On February 18, 19, and 20, 2010, the Florida Powerboat Club (FPC) returned to the 'Isle' for their annual getaway. They visit our Marina and Resort every year the first weekend after the Miami Boat Show with their array of 'colorful' powerboats. Sixty-six boats made the trip this year, including the 'Bat Boat' at left, complete with painted detail of Batman' and Gotham City.

Several booths were set up for the show, and this MTI 'Cat' was an eyecatcher for all visitors.

At right, Stu Jones, President of the Florida Powerboat Club poses for 'our' camera after doing a photo shoot of the 'Girls of the FPC' segment of his FPC magazine.

The Marina was a 'Sea of Color'!!!

At right, another beautiful boat of the FPC was the 'Red Corvette' boat. The boat is made with actual corvette parts and is a beauty to behold. At left, a beautiful yacht that visited the Marina prior to the FPC's arrival.

Valentine's Day weekend was a buzz with visitors who enjoyed the annual Holiday Isle Resort Sweetheart Arts and Crafts Festival with handmade jewelry, clothing, glass art, artists, handmade instruments, and much, much more.

On Saturday, February 13, in conjunction with the Arts and Crafts Festival, Holiday held a 'silent auction' for Haitian Relief. It was a great success!!

J.R. Reeder and Iwalani returned to the stage at the Tiki Bar for the first time in years to perform for Haitian Relief. 'Billy' from Connecticut joined in the fun with the Hawaiian Balls!! Great job Billy!

J.R. and Iwalani thrilled the crowd with Hawaiian Dance and J.R.'s Rhythm and Blues music.

An artisan from the Crafts Festival, Eddie Osborne, relaxes in the sun amid his array of handmade african instruments.

A unique craft.....handcarved and painted coconuts fashioned into Tropical Fish!!!

A big hit at the Festival was crafter and 'glassblower' Jay McIver with his unique tropical items fashioned from glass.

In December of 2009, the Miami Dade Police Officer's Run was held at Holiday Isle Resort. Hundreds of Police Officers on motorcycles rolled into Holiday Isle for their annual run.

On November 18, 2009, the Nascar Racer's Invitational Fishing Tournament awards banquet was held at the Tiki Bar at Holiday Isle Resort. The event was catered by Bonefish Grill. At right is Joe Balash and his wife Tammy who fished the event. Joe is the Nationwide Series Director for Nascar. The event was sponsored by AFLAC.

On November 7, 2009, 'Corvettes in Paradise' made their annual trek to Holiday Isle and again the Resort was a sea of color.

Old and new corvettes lined the parking lot. At right, a vintage 'orange' corvette.

As the sun sets on another week (and pelican) at Holiday Isle Resort and Marina, we bid you adieu until next week. Visit our website at http://www.holidayisle.com/ and make your plans to join in the fun and activities at a truly unique resort in beautiful Islamorada, in the Florida Keys!!!

'Beautification Projects' continue at Holiday Isle Beach Resort and Marina, Islamorada, Florida Keys!!!

2009-10-21T22:04:00.000-04:00

As the sun rises over Holiday Isle Beach Resort and Marina in Islamorada, Florida Keys, the beauty keeps on coming...not only in the scenic views, but also around the 'Isle', as projects to beautify Holiday Isle Resort move forward.

The 'World Famous' Tiki Bar received a new ceiling of Bamboo Matting. Workers scaled the heights of the tall ceiling at left to attach the matting.

The finished product looks 'fan-tastic' in contrast with the bright new colors that were applied around strategic areas in the Tiki Bar.

All around the property, the parking area lines were freshly painted white and the parking bumpers got a fresh new coat of 'light blue'.

The El Capitan section of Holiday Isle has a fresh new sandy beach. (The trees were also trimmed to give the area a bright, clean look.)

Locals and visitors enjoy conversation at Rumrunners Tiki Bar at the north end of Holiday Isle. Rumrunners is a unique, elevated, Tiki Bar with quaint decor, and an absolutely beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean.

A young couple from the Miami area enjoy a quiet moment in one of Rumrunners Tiki Bar's "crow's nest" lofts. A beautiful view overlooking Holiday Isle and the beautiful waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

View of Rumrunners Tiki Bar and the lofts. Rumrunners beach also has fresh new sand!!!!

Cook Otto Sejour is ready to 'serve you with a smile' at our Beach Barbecue shack near Floaters Pool, serving some of the 'best barbecue' in the Keys.

Little 'Anthony', from Miami, enjoyed building sandcastles on the beach with the layers of new sand.

"Tom and Angie's Custom Painting" Company prepare a section of the Tower Building for a fresh coat of paint. The Tower Building at Holiday Isle Resort is one of the few 6 story buildings in the Florida Keys, with 'spectacular' views of the Atlantic Ocean and Florida Bay.

Holiday Isle Marina's Offshore Charter fleet located at the south end of Holiday Isle. Our Captains are some of the best in the Florida Keys. Islamorada is known around the world as 'The Fishing Capitol of the World'.

The 63' Yacht 'Queen Nevine' visited our Marina for a few days of fishing and fun.

The owner, from Boca Raton, Florida, said that they 'came down for a Birthday Bash and a couple of days of fishing'. They started with the 'Birthday Bash'!

Guests and visitors enjoy conversation and music at the Tiki Bar over the weekend.

The band 'Stereo Underground' was a hit this past weekend and played for the pleasure of Guests, visitors, and locals.

A young couple dance the night away to the sounds of 'Stereo Underground' at the Tiki Bar.

Steve Hughes, whose 50' vessel "Jonah's Prayer" is docked at Holiday Isle Marina for one month, said he was 'really enjoying the music of Stereo Underground'. Steve said that he 'enjoyed his stay at Holiday Isle Marina so much last year that he decided to come again this year for one month'.

At left, Clint, Eric, and Justin, brothers from the Okeechobee area, enjoying the 'great' atmosphere of the Tiki Bar along with the 'terrific' music. The brothers informed me that they 'come down a couple times a year', they were having 'great fun', and that 'the place is looking GREAT'. The brothers are in the cattle business and run the 'Circle 5 Ranch' near Okeechobee, Florida. Glad to have you back, 'pardners'!!!!

There was good news for the Florida Keys Overseas Highway, from north of Key Largo to Key West, this past week. The Highway was designated an "All-American Highway" by the U.S. Transportation Secretary, Ray LaHood. It's the highest recognition possible under the National Scenic Byways program, and there are only 30 other roadways in the nation that have earned this prestigious title. Holiday Isle Beach Resort and Marina is proud to be located along this 'scenic byway'.

And the scenery cannot be more beautiful, as evidenced by this fantastic sunset behind our Offshore Charter Fleet. Visit our website at www.holidayisle.com to make your plans to 'travel the All American Road' to Holiday Isle Beach Resort and Marina to enjoy the scenery and fun in the sun!!!

Holiday Isle Resort and Marina in Islamorada, Florida Keys is 'Buzzing' with Activity...as 'Busy Bees Begin Beautification' Projects!!!

2009-10-07T03:30:00.000-04:00

Holiday Isle Resort and Marina in beautiful Islamorada in the Florida Keys has been 'buzzing' with activity as workers begin beautification projects. As we are in what we refer to as 'the slow season', it is the perfect time (and perfect weather) to take on this task. At right, vacationers enjoy floaters pool by the Atlantic Ocean 'before' its makeover. Scroll through the pictures below to see 'the happenings of the past week'.

Piles and piles of sand were trucked into the resort to beautify our beach. This was quite the project and our engineering department worked 'hard in the heat' to spread the sand over our many beach areas.

At right, our own Director of Operations, Mr. Ed Kinkelaar, jumped into the 'hot seat' to help spread the sand. It was truly a 'Team' effort. (TEAM is one of Holiday Isle's mottos...Together Everyone Achieves More).

At left, and below, the new facelift to the entrance of Floaters pool.

At right, one of the main beach areas with freshly spread sand.

The pool was drained, repaired, painted, and has a fresh new look. It appears that the 'Seagulls' enjoyed the pool while it was taped off during the 'sealing' process.

At right, 'Kokomo's', of song, got a fresh new 'Keys' look as workers painted the bandshell and tables.

A look at 'Rumrunners' beach with its new sand as vacationers enjoy a dip in the ocean.

The Marina Fuel dock is up and ready to fuel with its new digital fuel pumps and a fresh coat of paint.

The Chevron Station/Mini Mart is also fueling again with its new fuel pumps and fresh look.

We had a 'return' visitor to the Holiday Isle Marina this past week. Little 'Rumrunner', born at the Marina and nicknamed by our staff, returned this past week with his Mom and Dad. He has grown about 2 feet and had fun romping around and showing off for our guests.

Vacationers enjoy a 'cool' drink at the Tiki Bar to escape the heat of the past week. It was in the 90's all week.

Visitors were impressed with the 'new look' of Floaters pool as they enjoyed a cool drink poolside and had fun in the water. Such a beautiful view!!!!

Relaxing in the sun and 'new sand' at the beach in front of Floaters Pool. We have added new Coconut Palms and landscaping which adds to the beauty 'by the sea'.

Visitors, on the way to the Tiki Bar, stop to wave for the camera. The gentleman on the right is visiting from Rome, Italy, and his friend is from Brazil. Holiday Isle is a favorite spot for many foreign tourists.

As we say goodbye to another week at 'The Isle', we leave you with yet another beautiful sunset overlooking our Offshore Fishing Charter Fleet in the Marina. It doesn't get any better than this!!

Two 'Stang' owners relax in the shade in the breezeway at the resort.

Check out this 'classic' State Trooper mustang!!

Classics were plenty....and plenty colorful!!!!

That's a pretty shade of red!!!

Visitors check out the engines.

At one of the booths, the 'Stang' club paid tribute to the 9/11 victims. A member of the club spent many months gathering the pictures and names of all of the 2,993 victims of the attack and attaching them to the boards at right. There were 4 big boards (front and back) with the attached pictures and names of the victims. Quite a task, and quite a tribute!!!!!
