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 job by management. I can’t say enough good things about how friendly and welcoming everyone was. Food is on point also. Both meals there were perfectly prepared. Location is amazing with a perfect spot for sunset and live music on the pier. Good job everyone

Ocean Key was the site of our first family vacation, and we couldn’t have been more thrilled with how it turned out. Upon arrival we were greeted by friendly and helpful staff, and check-in was a breeze. Our ocean view suite was spectacular, with a whimsical-yet-elegant vibe that really channeled the Key West spirit. The beds were comfy, and all the in-room amenities were great. We also spent a lot of to me enjoying the expansive patio space. The resort itself was amazing, we particularly enjoyed the pool and lounging in the cabanas. The service staff was friendly and attentive. The ground were beautiful, lots of flowering canopied foliage and towering palms. We did dine at Hot Tin Roof for the sunset experience, which I highly recommend. The food was top quality and the service was fantastic. We had a great time at Ocean Key, and hope to return.
