Southernmost Beach Resort and Guesthouses
"The property we stayed at was nice. They got us into the room right away and it was conveniently located to Duvall Street. However, the room attendant did not come every day and our shower door would not close all the way which we told them the first day we got there and they never came to fix it. ..."

Casa Marina Key West, Curio Collection by Hilton
"We were really disappointed by the beach. It’s rocky and was covered in seaweed (during our visit). The pools are beautiful, staff was lovely. The room was enormous and well maintained. I just wish we had more transparency regarding the condition of the beach."
