"If Tommy Bahama designed a resort, it would look like Ocean Key. It has an air of nostalgia about it, almost if Hemingway himself could be posted up at the bar. Rooms and suites feature pastel-hued walls, cheery floral and striped fabrics, and colorful rugs: In short, it’s tropical island vacation décor to a tee and done with an elegant touch. Balconies overlook the Gulf of Mexico or Duval Street, adding to the sense of place. Eating and drinking are two important elements to an Ocean Key stay, too. At the property’s colorful and colossal, 4000 square foot Sunset Pier, enjoy live music, far too many cocktails, and of course, epic sunsets, thanks to the pier’s unobstructed water views. Additionally, restaurant Hot Tin Roof is a top table in the Keys, lauded for an innovative, seafood-centric menu with dishes like seared scallops and colossal shrimp in almond mole and plantain crusted swordfish with roasted corn salsa and tequila poblano sauce. Both are worth the visit, even if not staying at Ocean Key." - Paul Rubio, Nancy DePalma
