"It takes a real gem to stand out amid the jewelry store of Keys hotels, but this place, located in a 1904 mansion, more than pulls off the job."

"What makes the Mermaid & the Alligator stand out?... is it simply that the inn, though only a 10-minute walk from the beach, hides in a palm and bromeliad jungle."
