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
