Concierge "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."
Fodor's "This revamped destination resort feels like an old-fashioned beach community with picket fences and rocking-chair porches." Full review
Frommer's "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
i
Avoid one through six, as these are wedged between the fitness center, the pools and the waterside units.
Rough Guide Star
"One of the most luxurious resorts in town, with tranquil Conch-style houses (one-two-and-three bedroom) with back porches, whimsical furniture, full kitchens and plasma TVs."
Afar Magazine "Key West is tiny -- only 4×2 miles-- so just about every location is a good one." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"Parrot Key, a sophisticated bolthole that is ultra-handy for the nearby frenzy but nicely insulated from it all." Full review
Travel + Leisure "This may be the ultimate Key West hideaway — hidden off a main drag and completely enveloped in lush plantings and holding three (count them!) swimming pools as well as a beachy stretch"

Fodor's "Geared specifically toward gay men, this hotel features a health club, a video lounge, a café and bar, and rooms in historic digs." Full review
Rough Guide "Men-only, clothing optional resort that’s one of the few remaining cruisey accommodation options in town: there’s a sauna, video room and large pool-cum-sundeck."
Oyster Upper-middle-range
"Located in historic Key West, Island House is a 34-room boutique designed exclusively for gay men." Full review
Time Out "Here, amid lush foliage and gingerbread architecture, guests shed their clothes and inhibitions. Bronzed Muscle Marys glisten under the mist spray system on the sun deck or bare all by the pool." Full review
