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.

This is the place to go and relax with your significant other. The staff is extremely nice and rooms are worth the dollars spent. The bathrooms and beds were the wow factor. Super comfy bed and sheets.

Outstanding staff, spectacular view, very convenient location. Key West has been our go-to location for 33 years, scenery, history and offshore boat racing. Many excellent restaurants. Great drive through the Keys or easy ferry cruise from Ft Myers. Never disappointed.
