Parrot Key Hotel & Villas

This is a great choice for people who want to be close enough to enjoy the action of downtown Key West but far enough away to not deal with full time partying and craziness. These cottages feel secluded and calm even though you can walk across the street to shopping, groceries, alcohol. The grounds are beautiful and the canal beach is relaxing. The pools are well maintained. We found the cleaning staff to be helpful and had no issues with cleanliness (though bathrooms could use updating). Beds and bedding were high quality and comfortable. Cafe/bar are decent. Uber/Lyft are never more than 5 min away and $10-15 per ride. Shuttle to beach and downtown is available if the times work for you (bikes and golf carts are available, too). Negatives: The music at the pools (and throughout the grounds) is both LOUD and terrible (worst covers of every song you’ve ever heard set to a tropical beat). If you go to the adults only pool, it’s slightly less loud. Friendliness and helpfulness of staff varies. 7 AM leaf blowing is definitely unwarranted at a “resort.” If you’re a light sleeper, bring earplugs.

Just sad day to write this we've gone there over three Christmases and this is the worst experience we've ever had. The rooms are broken and moldy in the bathrooms the windows, the bedrooms. The staff kicked you out of the pool if you're five minutes 10 minutes before closing, they ran out of food on Christmas Eve And drink mixers. If you call the front desk, they literally hung up on you. I had to call to get extra towels and they hung up on me six times this is not where you want to stay. It's a sad day and management does not care they'll send you happy emails, but they'll do nothing about it

Oh what a find this hotel was! We loved everything, the look of it (Colonial), the vibe, the staff, the cleanliness, the pools, the bar, the food and our stunning room with walkout beach. Great locality with shops within walking distance and down town just 10 minutes away, we parked up and just used cabs from Lyft which were really reasonable.

Things we liked: Nice warm heated pools, beautiful grounds, restaurant area is very pretty, food was decent Things we didn’t like: water dispensers were broken, no free coffee in the mornings, our shower head was not working when we arrived, shuttle into town was infrequent and stopped running early, our room had a musty smell, room frig was set too cold with no way to adjust. Our room was “beachfront” but there is not an actual beach, just sand without access to the water. Valet parking with no option for self parking.

What a Fanastic experience! The villas were so spacious and comfortable. We stayed in a 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom villa. Loved all the invitingly warm pools and the wonderful greenery around the property. Great drinks and food options. Highly recommend! Can’t wait to come back.
