Lonely Planet Top Choice
"It takes a real gem to stand out amid the jewelry store of Keys hotels, but this place, located in a 1904 mansion, more than pulls off the job." Full review
Travel + Leisure "What makes the Mermaid & the Alligator stand out?... is it simply that the inn, though only a 10-minute walk from the beach, hides in a palm and bromeliad jungle." Full review
Rough Guide Star
"The fabulous gardens, TV-free rooms, sumptuous breakfasts (try the banana pancakes) and wine served each evening make for a deeply relaxing stay."
Oyster Upscale

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"
