Staying In Key West Florida
If you are considering a vacation to Key West Florida, and debating on a place to stay, maybe we can help! On our most recent vacation to the Florida Keys, we actually stayed at four different locations. The first was at the Hyatt Place on Marathon Key (watch the review), which was the perfect 'in-between' stop to our 2nd location in Key West, which was Casa Marina Resort. After that disappointing stay (watch to learn why), we drove back up to Islamorada to meet family & stayed at the Pelican Cove Resort (watch or read that review). Then finally back south to our 4th and final destination, Jimmy Buffets Margaritaville Key West, which has actually changed names to Opal Key Resort & Marina! Watch that review HERE!
As you do your research, you'll notice there are multiple locations with large variations of prices when staying in Key West. Opal Key Resort (Margaritaville Key West), hits in the 'middle' range of cost per day. Ill be honest, Key West is one of the more expensive Florida Keys to stay on. So if you're planning this vacation on a budget, I would highly suggest staying on a different Florida Key and just visit Key West for the day.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Here's a quick 'preview' as to what you can expect when you stay at the Opal Key Resort:
