"The 311 rooms are now airy and loftlike... rooms in the original building are the best, for their idiosyncratic layout and 15 rooms with large balconies."

"If you don't mind being a short drive from Duval Street and the Old Town action, this quiet resort is made up of typical Conch-style bungalows set among lush tropical foliage."

"Parrot Key's waterfront Conch-style cottages, suites, and rooms are the epitome of beachy luxury and are the largest available in Key West." Full review
Star Service
" It is waterfront, but not beachfront—however, there is a narrow manmade beach abutting the bay. There are four nicely landscaped pools just in case." Full review

Travel + Leisure
