Concierge "The exclusive Westin resort is located on its own private island a ten-minute boat ride offshore—a nice retreat when the scene in Key West proper gets too hectic."
DK Eyewitness "This ultra-private hotel is located on its own little island. The Sunset Key Guest Cottages with their whitewashed interiors, picture windows, and fabulous views, are ideal for a quiet vacation."
Rough Guide "This luxurious, car-free, manmade island – just 40 years old – features 37 elegant standalone cottages that are like private homes with maid service."

Try to nab one of the cottages on the northwest side for the best sunset views.
Gayot "This isolated beachfront property is a ten-minute boat trip from its host resort, the Hilton Key West. The price of the rooms reflects the seclusion, as well as the pampered attention you'll receive."
Star Service "Located on a 27-acre islet, this hotel is reached via 24-hour ferry leaving from the Westin's dock." Full review

Also, unlike Little Palm Island, guests here can choose whether or not to use their TVs, CDs, DVDs or the Internet.

Travel + Leisure "Situated on a private, 27-acre island just off Key West, Sunset Key Cottages is "absolute paradise," according to a reader"

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
