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.

We enjoyed our three nights at the Ocean Key, our room was very clean and had a beautiful view over Mallory square and the ocean. We enjoyed the pool where we relaxed for an hour or two most days. The location of the hotel made it very easy to explore key west and access a couple of day trips we had booked. We enjoyed a very beautiful evening in the sunset pier with a nice meal and a couple of drinks, the sunset was spectacular. My only minor gripe was that the room was noisy with noise from the adjoining room coming straight through the adjoining door. Overall a very nice stay in a nice hotel. Read less

We took a short 3–4 day family trip to Key West via the ferry from Ft. Myers—such a fun and scenic way to arrive! When we got there on a warm, sunny day, we were warmly welcomed by Niki Malvankar. Check-in was smooth, and we enjoyed a refreshing drink in the lobby, which set the tone for a relaxing stay. On a previous visit, we stayed at a B&B,… Read more
We took a short 3–4 day family trip to Key West via the ferry from Ft. Myers—such a fun and scenic way to arrive! When we got there on a warm, sunny day, we were warmly welcomed by Niki Malvankar. Check-in was smooth, and we enjoyed a refreshing drink in the lobby, which set the tone for a relaxing stay. On a previous visit, we stayed at a B&B, which was nice, but this experience felt much more welcoming and polished. The property features a lovely pool and a nearby pier-side bar that made it easy to unwind. The hotel restaurant also exceeded our expectations. Niki Malvankar stood out throughout our stay—she was always available to answer questions and offer assistance. Her friendly demeanor, professionalism, and genuine care made a lasting impression and truly elevated our experience. We enjoyed our time so much that we extended our stay by an extra day. We’re already looking forward to coming back! Read less

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.
