This 178-room waterfront hotel in Old Town Key West is a real resort, with dozens of features, including boat rentals, shops, a fitness center, and a marina. However, it’s not quite up to the standards of other luxury properties, with somewhat bare contemporary rooms, cramped bathrooms, a pool that's a bit small for the size of the hotel, and a location right by a busy and noisy cruise ship dock. There’s nothing really bad about the resort, but there’s nothing outstanding either -- it’s just slightly better than adequate. Also, some of the amenities, like the spa, are at the sister property on Sunset Key, a 7-minute boat ride from the hotel.

Located along a lovely beach, the 40-room Sunset Key Cottages resort caters to the upscale traveler with elegant, homey cottages and high-end amenities. It is located on Sunset Key, a residential island off Key West, and is affiliated with the Margaritaville Key West Resort and Marina, with which it shares some features. The hotel itself has wonderful amenities, including a lovely zero-entry pool, a gorgeous (though somewhat rocky) beach with palm trees and clear, calm waters, and a pleasant spa. There is 24-hour free shuttle service to Key West, but the resort’s location, though idyllic and exclusive, might be somewhat inconvenient for travelers who want to be close to shops and restaurants. Couples seeking something a tad cheaper may want to compare rates at Le Mer Hotel and Dewey House at Southernmost Beach Resort.

The 100-room Ocean Key Resort is an upscale waterfront property with an elegant atmosphere that captures the artistic whimsy of Key West. Contemporary rooms have large, comfortable beds, whirlpool tubs, and minibars, plus feature a cheerful, island-flavored design. There are two restaurants on-site, including the classy Hot Tin Roof.
