“Overpriced...nicer places in better location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 3, 2013

Hotel over priced for location and amenities. Half of the suites are on the second floor which means 17 steps to get into unit and then another 17 steps inside unit to get to bedrooms. Bathrooms lack any counter space and no where to keep your toiletries. Also units are very disjointed....too many separate rooms and very dark inside. Not very clean either. Plenty of other places to pick. Would skip this one.

Room Tip: Do not get a second floor unit unless you don't mind climbing 35 stairs a day.

Dear Santa Maria Suites Guest,
Thank you for your comments and really appreciate your business.

The Bi-level suites which you stayed in are more designed like a townhome...please try booking our flat suites on your next visit to Key West and hopefully the Santa Maria Suites. The flats bedrooms are a little larger but less bathrooms.

The Santa Maria staff and I look forward to your next visit to Key West.
Sincerely,
Steve Mungall

“Excellent again!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 29, 2013

We were the for the second time and didn't even look for another place. Pure luxury in the quiet area of KW. Highly recommend if you are looking for nice, restful time and the kitchen area works nicely. As there are 2 bathrooms/2-3 toilets in the rooms (one level room has two bathrooms, two level room has two bathrooms + one toilet downstairs), works perfect with friends also.

Room Tip: We have been in both kind of rooms, I think one level rooms have more space in bedrooms but two leve...

“A great little find in key west - bit of a walk to the sunset fest/duval st -”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013 via mobile

Special boutique hotel with gorgeous suites - I love little places like this - its not a party scene or a place to be "seen" but if you are looking to relax in a comfy sleek cool hotel with a beautiful kitchen/porch/living space - this is a great spot. Complimentary Fruit Smoothies by the pool, ice cream in your freezer and muffins left for your breakfast are great touches - I will happily return.

“Spectacular oasis for family in the heart of the action.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 26, 2013 via mobile

Not only is it conveniently located one block off of Duvall st. It also boasts the best service from a resort team that I have ever experienced. Every day you received fresh muffins, ice cream treats and water bottles on top of a happy hour in which you receive complimentary wine, hummus, and smoothies. The rooms are equipped with a washer and dryer as well as a full sized kitchen. A gigantic applause to all the staff members that make this experience exceptional. We will definitely be back!!!!

“Few Adjectives Fit this Treasure!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

Words cannot express the over-the-top experience we had staying at this resort. From the moment we walked in we were impressed with everything. The reception desk staff are simply the best you'll find anywhere. The rooms are very large and immaculate. I'm very fussy about detail, and I couldn't find anything to disappoint.

There are all kinds of extra little touches done here that make it special. The pool in the middle of the hotel is open to the sun, and a fantastic place to hang out. They provide complimentary everything... smoothies, ice drinks, fresh fruit... I'll stop there rather than spoil your surprise completely.

The location is right near to Duval Street... maybe two to three minutes to walk. It is also very close to the shore. We enjoyed just walking around the whole area and exploring. It was great fun.

We've stayed in some amazing places all over the world, but this may very well be in the top five!

Room Tip: It is a good idea to watch their website carefully for discounts. We did very well using this appro...
