Ocean Key Resort

Key West, Florida Keys

Star 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.

First time stay at Ocean Key, and it did not disappoint. Our ocean front 5th floor room was beautifully appointed, and hotel was very quiet throughout the day and night. Menu items in The Hot Tin Roof were a little pricey, but the food was excellent as well as the service and the setting.

Just an overall fantastic experience which I look forward to repeating again in the not so distant future. 👍🏻👍🏻😊 Read less

We got room upgrade. We had ocean and pool facing room . It was one of the most beautiful view I have ever seen. Room was beautiful, all amenities were nice. Enjoyed the music and jacuzzi in bathroom. It was all magical. I’ll definitely visit again
