Opal Key Resort & Marina, Key West
The only drawback to this property was the cruise ships that blocked the view to the ocean on most days. But they did provide entertainment and were always gone by sunset. It is very nice, beautiful pool, delicious food, stiff drinks, great atmosphere and close to Duval.
