“WHAT AN AMAZING PLACE”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012

Check in was smooth and as a Diamond member I was upgraded to a Oceanfront Boutique Suite. It is a large room with a living area, wet bar and balcony. Because we were on the top floor our room featured high vaulted ceilings with a fan above the bed. IT was GREAT!!! Our view cannot be beat and the king bed was wonderful. Bathroom included a large closet and walk in shower.

This hotel is just one of those places that gets a perfect mark for me! The location cannot be beat. It has one of the few sandy beaches in the keys! Patrick the pool/beach attendant is spot on. You can get drinks and snacks at good prices right there at the pool or beach!

The staff were amazing but I wanted to point out Paul who provided personal service and was always willing to help out with a question. His service alone has allowed me to recommend this hotel to friends and business associates alike!

Property sits just off of Duval Street so you can walk to anywhere in Key West in under 15 minutes. Great property, truly a gem in the Keys!

Room Tip: Higher floor rooms have the best views. Rooms on the 5th floor have vaulted ceilings.

“A great place for rest and relaxation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012

We had a wonderful time at the Reach Resort. It was everything we could have asked of and more!! Very clean rooms/amenities with a great staff! Patrick and Ricardio were very friendly and attentive to our days spend at the beach! Could not have asked for better service. A very relaxing and carefree atmosphere. I would recommend this resort to other people and hope to be back in the near future!!

THANK YOU!!!

“"Totally relaxing stay"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

We reserved 4 nights at The Reach, but enjoyed it so much we stayed another night. Cindy and Paul at the front desk were so accommodating to all our requests, including a room for the extra night. The entire staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Down by the beach area Patrick, and especially John and Ricardo were there for whatever we needed. They even provided afternoon popcicles!! We loved the view from room 502. We were quit surprised to find that the sister property, Casa Marina Resort was also available for our use and only a short walk from The Reach. It was our first visit to Key West and when we return we would definetely stay here again!! Thank you Cindy and Paul.

Room Tip: Higher floors have a better view of ocean.

“Enjoyed our stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012 via mobile

My wife and I stayed at the reach for our honeymoon. Overall, we really enjoyed our time at the reach. We were upgraded to a suite and received complimentary champagne, chocolates, and balloons upon arrival. Breakfast every morning was delicious and the waiters were very good. Service overall was inconsistent. Patrick, down at beach/pool, was AWESOME! He took care of everything we needed, made great dining recommendations (even ordering delivery for us), and went out of his way to ensure we had a great stay.

“Fantastic beach resort”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

This is a really good hotel. It is right on a nice private sandy beach. The beach is small, but sand is just so good! Water is very clear and quite shallow, so great for kids and good for swimming. If you like your hotel quiet - this is it - it is tucked into a quite area of Key West, but is still really close to Duval and all the great spots of Key West.
The resort does charge a resort fee, but it does include wifi as well as the use of all the amenities without worrying about paying for them piece-meal.
This place is excellent if you are driving - the garage is spacious and is under the building - very convenient. You also get fresh apples daily in the lobby - always a nice touch!
The rooms are a bit dated, but are still holding on ok, so they are not disheveled or anything like that. All in all - highly recommended.
