Hvorfor folk elsker det

8.8⭐256 anmeldelser
  • Unbeatable 'Zero Duval' location right at Mallory Square
  • Hot Tin Roof restaurant offers some of the best sunset dining on the island
  • Vibrant, colorful 'Conch-luxe' decor that feels distinctly Key West, not corporate

Hurtig oversigt: You are paying for the address and the vibe, not for peace and quiet or a bargain.

Anmeldt af @ettevi_wanderlust: I checked into Ocean Key Resort and was blown away by the colors! My suite had the most incredible view of the harbor—watching the boats go by with my morning coffee was the highlight of the trip. It’s the perfect mix of fun luxury and total relaxation.

The hype

Guests are obsessed with the location and the staff's friendliness, often citing it as their 'happy place' despite the cost.

Reality check

The 'Ocean View' you paid for might be a wall of steel (cruise ship) or a view of the crowded pool, and the noise from Duval Street/Sunset Pier is real.

  • You want to be in the dead center of the action
  • You love a high-energy pool scene with cocktails
  • You appreciate bold, eclectic decor over minimalism

Renhed & Vedligeholdelse

8.5
  • Housekeeping: Daily service is consistent and praised, with excellent turndown service.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Generally sparkling, though some 'sleek stone' showers show age.
  • Maintenance: Lobby is under active construction; rooms are well-maintained but check AC filters.
  • Linens & towels: High quality, plush, and plentiful.
  • Odors & scents: Fresh signature scent in lobby (when not dusty from construction); watch for musty AC smells in rooms.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål og skjulte tips

Alt hvad du gerne vil vide før du booker.

Is the resort fee mandatory?

Yes, expect to pay ~$69/night plus tax. It covers WiFi, towels, and concierge.

Can I park my own car?

No, it is valet only. The garage is tight and fills up.

Does the hotel have a beach?

No. It is on a seawall. The nearest beach is Fort Zachary Taylor (about a mile away).

Is the pool heated?

Yes, but it is small and can get very crowded during peak times.

Can I see the sunset from my room?

Only if you book an Oceanfront room AND there is no cruise ship docked. Otherwise, go to the pier.

Is it kid-friendly?

Technically yes, but the vibe is very adult/couples focused. No kids' club.

Insidertips

  • ✨

    Skip the hotel breakfast and walk to Pepe's Cafe (oldest in the Keys) for a local vibe.

  • ✨

    The 'Liquid' pool bar is exclusive to guests, but Sunset Pier is open to the public—know the difference.

  • ✨

    Request a 'harbor view' if you want to watch the boats, but be prepared for the noise.

5 ting du bør vide før du tager af sted

  • 💡The 'Oceanfront' view is often a 'Cruise Ship Hull' view.

  • 💡The lobby renovation (thru Feb 2026) means construction noise during the day.

  • 💡Roosters are protected by law and WILL wake you up at 5 AM.

  • 💡The pool is much smaller than it looks in photos.

  • 💡You can walk to Mallory Square in 30 seconds, but so can 5,000 cruise ship passengers.
