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 "The vibe keeps with Key West's good-time feel, and the property is a very popular spot for weddings."
Fodor's "This hotel's location on the quiet end of Duval means you don't have to deal with the hustle and bustle of downtown unless you want to—it's within a 20-minute walk." Full review
Frommer's "Revamped in 2008, this beachfront hotel -- one of very few in Key West -- offers 127 rooms, all with views of the Atlantic, a huge oceanfront pool, and lively pool bar." Full review
Star Service "It is true to its clientele, offering high standards, fair rates and easy access to perhaps the best beach on the island." Full review
Rough Guide Star
"Comprising three separate, luxe hotel properties right by small but beautiful South Beach... the stylish guestrooms here have luxury linens, iPod docks, balconies and marble bathrooms."
Star Service "While nearly everything remains the same, there have been a few upgrades to the motel units in the Duval section, wherein guests can still pull their cars up to the ground-floor units for convenience." Full review
The Telegraph7.0
"Aptly-named Southernmost Beach Resort is a sprawling seaside retreat composed of a variety of hotel concepts, including an oceanfront resort, historic bed and breakfast inn and poolside guest rooms." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Award
"The tropical infused hotel is just blocks away from the island's southernmost point...grounds have colonial and Victorian buildings, and lush grounds fringed with palm trees and excellent ocean views." Full review
Travel + Leisure "There are eight main buildings and four Guest Houses at the hotel, for a total of 296 rooms...enjoy complimentary breakfast at the Dewey House next door every morning. "
