Ocean Key Resort & Spa

Absolutely loved it. My wife & I spent three wonderful nights here. It was our first time in Key West and this hotel was a huge reason why we will hopefully be returning in October. The staff couldn’t have been nicer and more accommodating. The Ocean front suite was beautiful and clean — and came with an amazing view of Sunset Key and the sunset each night. Perfect location on the fun end of Duval Street within walking distance of all the mandatory restaurants and bars that need to be hit during your stay. Because we were trying to visit as many places as possible, we never ate at the «formal» restaurant in the hotel but we did order breakfast every day via room service. It was very good — no complaints. The pier bar is awesome with great views of the cruise ships and the ocean/​golf (everyone seems to have a different opinion of what we are actually looking at). The lobby staff was more than happy to assist us with our air travel check-​in and transportation to the airport. Seamless. We looked at the other neighboring «higher-​end» hotels and they were very nice, but I’m pretty sure we will return to the Ocean Key. Loved it.

Nice property in a great location. Rm 511 has a great view. Nate the Concierge was exceptional and was the highlight of the stay. Super friendly and knowledgeable. Spa was nice, great massages but no other amenities to spend extra time there. Hot Tin Roof was very good and Matt was a great server. All in all, you can’t go wrong staying here

Staff– friendly, nice and attentive.
Location– its nice because you can walk to everything. Being so close to the ocean the entire street floods badly so its difficult to get into the hotel when that happens. ROOSTERS CROW FROM 5AM TILL DUSK. I am an extremely heavy sleeper. Not too many things wake me up. This is the first hotel ive ever stayed at where i had a difficult time sleeping. The roosters nest right on the hotel property outside the window and they are LOUD. theres also the regular hustle and bustle. It ia a drinking town so those sounds i expected.
Amenities-​the pool was decent and there was a jacuzzi. We had some bad weather last week so it was mainly empty. I could see it becoming crowded with the one bar. The gym is 1 treadmill and 1 eliptical, a smith machine and prob ½ a set of dumbells. Your basic below average fitness facility.
Pricing– i wouldnt stay here again for what i paid. They charge premier rates for a hotel i felt was maybe a touch above average. Im assuming its because of thier location. In my opinion any place where its impossible to get just 1 good nights rest out of 7 days is not worth revisiting.
Overall– unless you can score this place cheap on a website stay somewhere else. Ive had friends stay at a bed and breakfast on the other side of the island and thier experience was completely different. This is a an average place with above average pricing. Sorry ocean key but you didnt do it for me.

Beautiful hotel on duval street. Friendly staff and great room service (food). The bedroom is huge. The living space on the other hand is tiny– not very effective use of space. We were 3 adults and since we were using the sofa bed, we hardly had any space to walk around it. It’s so small that with sofa bed open, you can’t access the mini bar.
The bedroom itself is humongous with an awesome in– room jacuzzi. Our patio faced the ocean with a view of the parked Disney cruise line.
The pool is a little on the tiny side. Since its busy enough to not allow swimming, the hotel should consider providing flotation devices. Not heated, but not complaining as it was 90 degrees outside.
The hotel isn’t really kid friendly. Especially after coming from Orlando we realized that.
The location too isn’t that grew with kids. Can’t walk around during the late evenings with kids, with all the cigarette and cigar smoke and drunk people staggering around.

Great location by Mallory Square and other points of interest. Service is just ok — a bit too casual and the property lacks signage. Property not easy to navigate at first and lack of signage is confusing. Popcorn ceilings in the rooms– stained carpet… In our «upgraded» room. Housekeeping twice a day was nice. Toiletries nothing special. Hot tin roof was great to eat on the terrace but again some service touches indicate a lack of training. Overall good stay but we will try another property next time.

I absolutely loved staying here. Our room was on the 5^th floor and over looked Mallory Square and the pier where the cruise ships docked. It was very cool waking up every morning and seeing a different ship right in our backyard! The food at hot tin roof was amazing, I highly recommend you get breakfast delivered to your room. The staff was also incredible, especially A.J. At the front desk. She was incredibly helpful and one of the nicest people we met in Key West.

The short note: Signs of aging but still splendid in a perfect location.
We spent five nights at Ocean Key and had a lovely time. The location is hard to beat right at Sunset Pier and Mallory Square. Can’t be more central. And the view is not periodically obscured by a docked cruise ship as another fine hotel is.
The hotel has definite signs of old grandeur covered over with a face lift from 15 years ago, but they really did a fine job and have kept it well maintained since. We stayed in two different rooms during our visit and were delighted with both. The first overlooked Sunset Pier and Sunset Island directly across the pool and the suite had everything you could want in a hotel room except a microwave. Fabulous bathroom, wide balcony to sit on for breakfast or whenever.
The second was a fifth floor room overlooking the bottom of Duval St. and able to see Sunset Pier from the balcony. It had everything I need in a hotel room except a microwave. I especially enjoyed the very high ceilings these top floor rooms have.
We had good experience with room service and with the in room bar options and the spa. Staff were overwhelmingly helpful and pleasant at all of our interactions. The concierge was excellent, so good I longed for more meaningful questions to test him with!
One very fine feature is the vines above most of the ground floor level, between buildings. Besides being scenic and shady, they keep the area from heating up and making the whole complex oppressive. Also cars parked there did not get so hot in the sun. It was very nice and the first time I have seen this done so extensively or so successfully. The vines served to join the separate buildings into one joined complex very well, uniting the whole.
We appreciated the location and would certainly stay here again under similar circumstances (meaning: «if we are on an expense account»).

Ocean Key Resort can be bad for you. It’s already so hard to leave the paradise that is Key West but when you find a hotel that’s paradise WITHIN paradise. Good luck going home.
I’ve been hearing about this place for years but didn’t get to experience it until recently. It’s worth the hype.
The rooms are spectacular, ours had an incredible view overlooking Mallory Square, I would’ve been happy camping out on the balcony! But then you realize there’s a king size bed to take advantage of, and a giant jacuzzi and full sitting room! If I didn’t remind myself Key West was right outside, I may have never left!
The location is key (get it?) too. You step outside and you’re at the end of Duval Street– but far enough from it that you don’t have to deal with the madness right away. The pool is surrounded by the ocean — it makes it hard to want to leave to explore!
The price tag is steep but if you can swing it, it’s worth it. Just remember I warned you– it will be hard to leave.

Nice rooms and friendly staff.
The Hot Tin Roof restaurant is great don’t miss it.
Only down sides are the streets flooding around the hotel early tide so we’re flip flops you can get wet. I talking like 8 inches of water!
And if you want a drink at the pool side bar hope Jesse is working because your going to wait while the bar tenders chat with each other and a couple special guests? At least they seem to be special since their always talking g to them?
You can always walk around the corner to the Sunset Pier bar if the wait becomes to long their service is great!
Oh one more thing.
Someone is going to fall and get killed at their pool. It was a very poor choice of tile which is very slick when wet. I have watched people almost fall a couple times and since most of the people in this hotel are on the «older» side it only a matter of time. They even did the pool bathrooms in slick when wet tile?

The great location cannot makeup for the fact that this hotel does not have the touch necessary to be rated a luxury hotel charging luxury hotel prices. We did not get a good nights’ sleep for any of the 3 nights we were there. First night it was a false fire alarm. Second and third nights were other guests partying on the property between 3 – 4 am. The property looks like another Noble House property trying to do it on the cheap. After spending $ 600 a night our lasting memory of this hotel will be an employee who was very rude and a sore back from lousy beds.

Booked a room one night prior and it was the best decision ever. This hotel was seriously the best. Had a little problem and they gave us free breakfast delivered to our room and free dinner. It’s right next to everything. I would highly recommend them, every one is so nice there and I would definitely return.

The wife booked this place and I really enjoyed this place and our stay. The location is great, it’s right on the edge of the water and next to a Duval Street, which is the main drag and Mallory Square but seems insulated from it somehow. We were in the Mallory section and we didn’t really hear anything during our stay despite it being so close to the action. I could have spent the entire time on the hotel grounds. Sunset Pier, one of their restaurants was right on the water and had a good bar and decent food. The pool was fun, also right near the water and a great place to just relax. The staff was friendly and helped us out a lot with a lot of recommendations and directions with the concierge being especially helpful.
If I were to go back to Key West I would want to stay here again.

Pretty much the only place we stay in Key West. It’s a little pricey but the location and views can’t be beat. The hotel is right next to Mallory Square so you just have to walk next door for the Sunset Celebration. The Sunset Pier is also connected to the hotel so you have a great place to grab a rum runner and watch the sunset. If you feel like staying in, the room service food is SO good, especially the wings!

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Ocean Key Resort this past May. We’ve been to Key West several times now and decided to try a new residence for the week and were beyond delighted with our experience.
Our room (504) was bright (but had blackout curtains), beautifully furnished, boasted a spacious bathroom with spa style tub and double sinks, and a balcony with (partial) ocean view. Our king size bed was a dream with crisp white linens, down pillows, and I believe a pillow top. It was seriously hard to get out of bed in the morning!
All of the guest services agents were so pleasant and professional — we especially enjoyed talking to Nate Boucree in the lobby. Our room attendants were very attentive to making sure our room always had fresh towels, toiletries, and the bed made when needed. One day we broke a wine glass and they were there in a minute to help clean up to ensure we didn’t hurt ourselves.
Ocean Key is all the way at the end of Duval St. so it’s nice and quiet at night — and during the day for the most part. There is a CVS literally right next door which was very helpful as we needed to buy SPF and snacks quite a few times!
Ocean Key’s pool was a dream. The perfect temperature, looks out on the ocean, and has bar service! There are tons of lounge chairs so finding a spot (with an umbrella) was never an issue. They offer towels in the pool area so there’s no need to bring towels from the room.
We had dinner at Hot Tin Roof the last night that we were there and had an absolutely delish meal. The service was impeccable and the food top notch. After our meal we had the pleasure of having cocktails at the bar of Hot Tin Roof with their bartender extraordinaire Matis Britz who kept us laughing and our drinks full for several hours.
I could go on and on about this fantastic destination resort but I think you all get the point. Ocean Key, we will see you in our dreams until our next visit!

Roosters. They’re all over Key West and you will hear them loud and clear through the walls of your room as early as 5:30 am and every 30 – 60 seconds thereafter. In fact, based on our recent stay, you will hear EVERYTHING happening outside of your room (including drunk yelling, housekeepers vacuuming and employees moving around on the first floor). If you’re a light sleeper, bring a noise machine or at least headphones for when you sleep.
Other than that … the place is a gem. Well kept. Unique. Unbeatable location for sunsets and chilling at the pool. Very friendly staff — Patrick the concierge was extremely helpful and Manny was willing to share recommendations or help us any way he could.
Worth the money? You might not think so based on the price but compared to what you’ll pay for at other places in Key West, it is. Just bring your own noise in the morning to drown out the roosters.

The rooms are really nice. Service is great. Perfect location for those visiting Key West and dont know where to start.

Very impressed with the hotel location and value. Nate the consierge was so helpful. Be sure to stop by the desk and ask for him. He gave us so many ideas of fun things to do, best local restaurants and even what to order at the restaurant. He was honest about a couple of tourist things when we asked his opinion and we really appreciated it. He had a great helpful cheerful attitude and absolutely made our vacation outstanding. The front desk had great customer service — they credited us a resort fee at the end of our stay because we showed them it was included in our Priceline reservation. They also upgraded us to a beautiful suite with an ocean view and giant jacuzzi tub upon check in. I would stay here again for sure next time we visit Key West.

The rooms are nice and beachy. The staff is nice and the place is kept clean.
I enjoyed the large room with a bathtub in the bedroom and looking out onto the water. Was really nice.

My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights which proved to be an excellent time. The location of the hotel is perfect and the staff were all incredibly nice and accommodating. You can tell they go to great lengths to allow you to set your own speed and tone for your vacation with minimal disturbance while providing maximum service.
Our room was clean, spacious and uniquely decorated with a cozy balcony overlooking the pool and ocean. The bed and linens were very comfortable and you had twice as many fresh towels than you would need in a day at your disposal.
Definitely utilize the concierge before you arrive for booking boat rides, scooters and jet ski tours etc. We found that when the weather interrupted our plans the concierge was quickly able to locate our reservations, speak to the vendor, get us a refund and set us up with alternatives in minutes.

Sehr geschönte Fotos von der Aussenfassade. Beim heranfahren haben wir das Hotel bei Tageslicht kaum erkannt und haben uns etwas auf dem Boden der Tatsachen geholt.
Die Originalpreise scheinen nur zu den besten Zeiten zu gelten. Ansonsten gibt es immer das für USA übliche 50% off etc.
Unser Zimmer war recht groß, aber die Polster hatten einen leichten für Seeluft typischen Muff.
Der sog. Spa-​Beteich war recht klein, aber zum Glück sind wir in der Nebensaisom dort gewesen.
Die Lage des Hotels ist wirklich super, direkt am Meer und Mallory Square. Und hier beginnt auch die Duval Street.
Ich schwanke zwischen 3 und 4 * und gehe in diesem Fall runter, weil doch einiges schon etwas renovierungsbedürftig ist.

I am so happy with the decision of staying here. The location is great. The Spa is excellent and the staff are very nice. I love pier, so far I have seen two weddings here. Would recommended.
