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.

Great resort! The location was perfect for our visit to Key West, just a short walk to everything. The on site restaurants had great food and service. The pool had plenty of seating throughout the day. The pier had the best sunset view. We had a great trip and are already planning our next trip.

We had the BEST time celebrating my birthday week at Ocean Key Resort! From start to finish, the staff went above and beyond—attentive, kind, and always ready with fantastic local recommendations. We discovered some gems we probably wouldn’t have explored years ago: the Butterfly Conservatory, Mel Fisher’s Museum, Fort Zachary Taylor Beach, Key West Theatre, and the Hemingway House. Each spot was memorable in its own way! And the songwriters festival was icing on the cake! 🎶🎸🏝️ Another highlight was renting a golf cart for the week—we had a blast cruising around the island. Mark especially loved having the cart (even if we did get a parking ticket… lesson learned!). We soaked in breathtaking sunsets, and I found myself just so grateful for the time to relax, laugh, and explore somewhere so special. Can’t recommend Ocean Key enough—we’ll definitely be back! ❤️ Read less
