“Excellent (again)”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 15, 2009

This community (it's now become more than a guesthouse!) continues to set the gay pace in Key West.

It's perfectly maintained by a permanent team of 2 guys.

The happy hour continues to mix a strong brand of Cosmo and Pina Colada.

The staff are the best asset. Laura, the excellent new man Charles and in particular Michael are just the best. Great job guys!

We stayed in room 16 for the second time. It's great - see the images.

Finally (with my British accent...) you do get a better class of fellow guests at Alexander's than any other similar guesthouse... more fun, more ironic ([--]), and far better looking. This was certainly the case this stay.

Even the cat, Hercules, is a class act!

See you guys again and soon.....

“Like staying with your favourite friends in the best of houses...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 7, 2009

Let's start with the staff: There is nothing they can't or won't do for you. You feel pampered from start to end. Michael, Charlie and Laura made our stay lovely, helping with recommendations, bookings or just simply their company. It's like being the favourite guest in someones home (complete with lazy cat Hercules).

The poolside atmosphere in the afternoon is just sheer relaxation and getting to know everyone else. Met some lovely people in and around the pool, which we hope to meet again on return.

The rooms are brilliant - we have so far tried 2 - #s 13 and 15, both of which are secluded with their own porch facing the pools. The place is clean, spacious and most of all very friendly. This was our 2nd stay and surely not the last.

“Wonderful guest house, and the staff is really what makes Alexander's shine.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 1, 2009

I spent an extended weekend at Alexander's near the end of September 2009. Alexander's was a great experience. I was in room 8 on the 3rd floor. The room was perfect for a solo traveller and had everything I needed. The entire grounds were well kept, lush, and relaxing. The true stand out at Alexander's is the staff, especially Philippe and Michael. They go out of their way to make sure that every guest is having a wonderful time and getting the most out of their trip. I am already planning a trip back as soon as time and my schedule permits. Keep up the great work guys.

“This Place is a Must Stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 25, 2009

We stayed for only 4 nights but this place is tops! The entire staff is warm and welcoming and they really go out of their way to make your time there as relaxing and pleasant as can be! The environment is truly an experience that must be tried to appreciate. Five stars plus. Can't wait to return.
