Ocean Key Resort

Key West, Florida Keys

Virgin rating

The hotel

Key West's historic Old Town has an enchanting ambience with its pretty, tree-lined streets and ornate architecture. The Ocean Key Resort is one of the only hotels to be located right on Mallory Square, overlooking the ocean and giving you front-row seats to the spectacular sunsets. Myriad street entertainers make the square come alive and you can wander between jugglers, 'statues' and performers — or simply retire to the hotel's fantastic Sunset Pier bar and grill, which serves delicious chargrilled seafood and refreshing cocktails with which to toast the setting sun.

Excellent location and beautiful hotel. Pool overlooks the ocean and you’re close to everything. Staff are top shelf. Ask for a room with a larger shower (no tub) and double sink. We had a small shower and small tub and counter with only one sink. Pretty but not functional.

Big and nice rooms with big and beautiful bathroom. Loud nosie during nights from electric equipment and neighbours slamming the door. Pool and poolbar was nice but little to small area for so many guests. The fridge was excellent and good to have. Too expensive for the value and experience we got.

Great property in fabulous location. Staff are incredible, extremely helpful and nothing is ever too much trouble for them. They all go the extra mile to make you feel welcome. Room was lovely, pool area wonderful. Great spot to watch the sunset! Would definitely stay here again

We just spend 9 nights at the Ocean Reef resort. During our time on Key West we got married and once the resort found out they couldn’t do enough for us. A particular shout out to the manager Craig, Thanks for all you did for us. We have been to this resort many times in the past and we will be back. Feels like home!

Staff super friendly. Rooms very clean. Rum punch as you walk in the door. Love the sunset pier and the pool. We had the double suite overlooking the ocean. Definitely best on the island. We come every year. Fantasy Fest and the boat races are a must
