Ocean Key Resort

Key West, Florida Keys

Virgin 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.

The hotel is located in a great location. We stayed in a harbor view room. The harbor view also included an unsightly view of the next piers condos maintenance equipment. On our balcony it was what you saw the most and it was even lit up at night so there was no escaping it. We complained to management for the 3 days we were there as we paid over $2000 per night for our suite. They kept telling us he was in a meeting and they would get back to us. They never did and he was conveniently off the day we checked out. They gave us the insignificant resort fee back but would not do anything else saying that is the room we booked. We did not know the harbor came with an eyesore as its major attraction. We had one hair dryer for 2 rooms and uneaten chocolate covered strawberries and dirty plates were left on an outside table for 3 days. Another lady was checking out at the same time as us and she was disappointed in the service of the hotel given the cost. If you are looking at this as a treat look elsewhere! Service is awful and it is completely overpriced. There are many better places to stay in Key West! Read less

This resort is located in one of the best locations in our opinionion. Rooms were very spacious. Services was good throughout the resort. We enjoyed the pool which had gorgeous views and views of the sunset. The rooster start crowing at 4am and don't stop making an early wakeup call. They are all around the island

James and I couldn't have asked for better service and special attention to detail that staff took the time to prepare for our celebration. It was absolutely appreciated. Hot Tin Roof, where we dined for our anniversary was beautiful and delicious. The server we had was exceptional!
