"Why book? The Reach offers the best of both worlds, with easy access to Duval Street and beachfront property. It is a more casual alternative to sister property Casa Marina. Set the scene The mood here matches the decor: bright and upbeat. The rooms The rooms have a contemporary coastal appeal with a soothing blue-and-white palette interspersed with a pop of color (we see you, hibiscus-toned chair). As usual, the ocean view rooms are the ones to beat. Food and drink There’s just one restaurant that does it all here, but you’re within walking distance of more spots than you can possibly hit in one trip. If you’re here for a special occasion, plan ahead and book the Tide to Table dining experience, an intimate table on the sand. For families The Reach is a little less rollicking than some other Key West hotels, and its pool and beach add to the appeal for families. There aren’t too many amenities for young children, but older kids will be happy here. And if your kids are furry, the rooms are pet-friendly. Anything left to mention? It is a popular choice for group events and weddings, so you may feel like you’ve not been invited to the party at times." - Nancy DePalma
