From the moment you walk in you are greeted by friendly helpful staff, quick efficient checkin followed by complimentary glass of champagne. The room is so spacious with complimentary coffee and water. Also has a fridge and microwave. The bed is comfortable, the AC works amazing and the sliding patio doors make way to beautiful scenery to sit back and relax and enjoy your morning cup of joe. The pool is crisp and clean. The beach area is perfect for relaxing and the pool bar staff are welcoming and inviting and make really good drinks. We also enjoyed the small touches of complimentary pool towels and complimentary frozen grapes to help you cool off while enjoying all the amenities this beautiful property has to offer. This is my second time staying here and I highly recommend. Also just a short uber ride to Duval, Mallory square, ect. We also enjoyed the perk of complimentary parking on site just find it alot easier to uber once your ready to head out to sight see.
I really enjoyed my stay at this property. The place was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, and the location was very convenient. Everything I needed was easily accessible, and the property had a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. I especially appreciated how comfortable the space was and how easy it was to feel at home. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely consider staying here again.

Winter
Winter (peak visitor season including holidays and cruise-ship traffic)

Key West has a tropical climate: winters are mild and dry, summers are hot, humid, and storm-prone. Hurricane season runs June–November (peak Aug–Sep). Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a light rain jacket for sudden showers, insect repellent for summer/fall, and layers for breezy winter evenings. Always check marine forecasts before boating or snorkeling.
Key West hotel and rental prices fluctuate strongly with seasonality and events. Peak rates occur in Winter and early Spring (December–April) when northerners escape cold weather and cruise ships bring day-trippers; holiday weeks, Presidents' Day weekend and spring-break weeks push rates highest. Popular events (Fantasy Fest, Hemingway Days, Songwriters Festival) raise prices and reduce availability. Summer and early Fall (June–September) generally offer the best value — lower nightly rates and package deals — but this is also hurricane / tropical-storm season, so last-minute weather-driven cancellations can affect prices. Mid-week stays are often cheaper than weekend nights. Small boutique hotels and B&Bs can sell out quickly during events, while chain hotels and vacation rentals often advertise discounts in the low season; booking 60–90 days in advance for Winter travel is recommended, and 7–30 days ahead can yield deals in Summer if you’re flexible.
Insider advice to help you make the most of your visit
Key West is compact — walking, biking, and golf carts are popular. Driving and parking can be expensive and limited downtown.
To avoid crowds and high prices, aim for mid-week stays in shoulder seasons (late Spring or late Fall). Book key experiences (snorkel trips, airport transfers, specialty restaurants) in advance, bring reef-safe sunscreen, and consider renting a golf cart for convenient island mobility and local flavor.
