This was our first trip (but definately not last trip to Key West despite the long distance from Europe) and it was a wonderful start of our holiday. Not only the staff but also the rest of the guests made it a very good experience for the first time at an all-male-gay-resort. Due to the fact that it is a... more

I've stayed at many gay quest houses. Most recently Villa Venice, Cabanas, Liberty Suites and Blue Moon. Equator is one of my fav's. Had a super fun time! The staff and owner really work hard at making you feel welcome. Pool and hot tube are perfectly sized and always looked clean. Breakfast, happy hour and unlimited porn channels are much... more

May partner and I have traveled to Key West for a week in January for the past 7 years and we have now stayed at the Equator Resort the past 4 years. We have found the Equator to be one of the best all-gay resorts in Key West. Unfortunately there are fewer and fewer of them in the once very... more

Great place for the slightly more mature to mature crowd (35+). We LOVED not having families or kids around - that was a vacation in itself! Other guests seemed friendly and genuinely interested in making friends. Although the HEATED pool was open all night people were very respectful about noise levels. The Jacuzzi felt wonderful at night and there was... more

This resort is located in a great part of town within walking distance to all the major attractions in Key West. The pool and jacuzzi are nice and maintained well. Most staff members are nice. We did enjoy the happy hours. Although the grounds are landscaped heavily, it is evident that they are not maintained by professionals. Plants, shrubs and... more

Just returned from a great week at the Equator. Gary, Troy, Wally and Rocco do an exceptional job of making you feel at home. The resort is clean and beautifully appointed. The rooms are spacious and clean. We stayed in 28B, a very nice room. Breakfasts were great and provided complimentary by the resort. Happy Hour was a great time... more

I recently completed my second stay at the Equator in Key West. My previous stay was in April of this year. During my April visit, I absolutely knew this was the one and only gay resort to stay at while visiting Key West. Upon my arrival on October 10, the first words uttered by the staff were "Welcome Home." That... more

My partner and I made our 2nd visit to the Equator - July 12-18, 2008. And once again perfect...perfect! Not only are the rooms clean, updated but it is the staff that makes the stay PERFECT. From the house cleaning staff to Troy with those BEAUTIFUL EYES!! My partner and I have been coming to KW for 10 years and... more

The Equator was more than expected. The rooms were small but very stylish and nice. Not all rooms were as small as mine. The shower had a bad shower head and there was not a hair dryer. My only complaints! Excellent location and staff. The walk to Duval is not bad at all and the bike taxis make it very... more

This was our second stay at the Equator Resort - both times over Memorial Day Weekend. The rooms are spacious and clean and provide a nice, cool retreat from the heat and humidity outside! No complaints here - the a.m. breakfast consists of coffee, juices, toast, bagles, cereal, and the famous "egg bake." Yes, yes the egg dish is boring... more
