"The exclusive Westin resort is located on its own private island a ten-minute boat ride offshore—a nice retreat when the scene in Key West proper gets too hectic."
DK Eyewitness
"This ultra-private hotel is located on its own little island. The Sunset Key Guest Cottages with their whitewashed interiors, picture windows, and fabulous views, are ideal for a quiet vacation."
Rough Guide
"This luxurious, car-free, manmade island – just 40 years old – features 37 elegant standalone cottages that are like private homes with maid service."

Try to nab one of the cottages on the northwest side for the best sunset views.
Gayot
"This isolated beachfront property is a ten-minute boat trip from its host resort, the Hilton Key West. The price of the rooms reflects the seclusion, as well as the pampered attention you'll receive."
Star Service
"Located on a 27-acre islet, this hotel is reached via 24-hour ferry leaving from the Westin's dock."

Time Out
"Here, amid lush foliage and gingerbread architecture, guests shed their clothes and inhibitions. Bronzed Muscle Marys glisten under the mist spray system on the sun deck or bare all by the pool."
