Divine Dining Experience

I dined at Bistro 245 and was thoroughly impressed with the menu. The truffle crusted grouper was absolutely tremendous-it was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The service was great as well, making my dining experience a nice one.

Very nice Room View

I stayed in a Marina View room (324) and it was simply very nice! The balcony provided a relaxing space to enjoy the sights and sounds of the harbor, including the arrival of a cruise ship-something I found pretty cool during my stay.

Comfortable and Spacious

The bedroom was remarkably spacious, featuring a comfortable king-size bed that I sank into every night. I also appreciated the ample drawer and closet space, which made it easy to keep my belongings organized during my stay.

Refreshing Rain Shower

I really enjoyed the rain shower in the bathroom-it was a refreshing way to unwind after a long day exploring. The water temperature was consistently hot, and it allowed me to feel pampered during my stay.

I had a mixed experience at the resort. While the service was commendable with great staff, the room itself left much to be desired in terms of cleanliness and comfort. The location is convenient for accessing Key West attractions, but the dining options did not meet my expectations. Despite the high price tag, the overall quality didn't quite justify the cost, leading to some disappointment.

I was really disappointed with my stay at this resort. While the location offered beautiful views and it was spacious, the maintenance issues in the room and the lack of customer service made the experience less than ideal. For the price we paid, it didn't feel like good value for money, especially with the apparent need for renovations and a focus on guest satisfaction.

I had a lovely time at Margaritaville Key West with my family. The rooms were clean and offered beautiful views, while the hotel's location made it easy to explore local attractions. Although the dining experience met our needs, the amenities did have some room for improvement. The staff was welcoming, and our stay overall was enjoyable, but the accommodations could use an update to match the vibrant tropical theme.

The hotel offers a fantastic location right next to Mallory Square, with vibrant nearby shops and attractions. My room was beautiful and had a great view of the pool. While the dining experience was enjoyable with a good breakfast by the pier, I did encounter some issues with service that fell short of expectations. Overall, the ambiance was delightful, but there were a few hiccups that detracted from the experience.

The hotel has a stunning location, just steps away from the vibrant downtown area and with easy access to all the local attractions. While I really enjoyed the friendly interactions with some staff members, my room left much to be desired in terms of cleanliness and maintenance. The dining options were not up to par, which was disappointing especially given the price point. Overall, it was a mixed experience; the ambiance and the views were great, but the room situation and dining choices were major drawbacks.
