Lonely Planet "This isn’t our favorite hostel, but it’s about the only youth-oriented budget choice on the island." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A mere three-minute walk to the beach and to Old Key West, this hostel is usually full of young backpackers."
Rough Guide "The cheapest digs in town are these grubby dorms, run by a friendly owner who provides bikes for rent."
Time Out "Cheap dorm rooms down near the Southernmost Point, a five-minute walk from central Old Town." Full review
Frommer's "This well-run hostel is a 3-minute walk to the beach and Old Town. Very busy with European backpackers, it's a great place to meet people." Full review

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"
