The service was over the top! From the front desk to the cleaning staff, everyone was friendly and always looking to do more. Room and hotel had a boutique feel that you don't see with the chain hotels. Also the location is ideal. One block off the action. Duval street is loud and crazy, but turn into the hotel and it suddenly becomes quite and comfortable. We will definitely be back

Absolutely loved our 5 night stay this past week at Orchid Key!! What a fabulous adult only boutique hotel located just steps off of Duval! We stayed in a Deluxe King the first night because we added on a night at the front end of our trip and it was just off of the pool area and very cozy. Loved the large shower and the room was so clean! Lots of fluffy towels and little extras like free waters and cookies and peppermints were left in the room. The rest of our stay was in a Deluxe King...

Every thing about it, location, the high ceilings, the incredibly comfortable beds-the brand new smell of all dwellings. I also was in love with the toiletries that were provided!!!

Wonderful trip. Great hotel but not for those who have issues with stairs unless they ask for one of the first floor rooms or bungalows. Would stay there again. Wish they served food though.

We stayed here for one night for my husband's 40th birthday. The hotel was aware we were celebrating an occasion and offered complimentary refreshment's in our room. We were able to check on early, got upgraded to pool view and also checked out late!

A beautiful, hidden gem right on the water. They have kayaks and paddleboards to use with no cost. Complimentary breakfast, smores and wine. Everything was cleaned well. All the staff was friendly and helpful, especially Ashley. We were beyond impressed with the communication and helpfulness.
We spoke to the gentleman who was renovating the rooms (even when he worked it was a quiet and peaceful place), and learned there will soon be a houseboat as a room to rent.

This was perfect for our family. We brought nanny, and got the two bedroom. Our young girls slept on the pull out couch. Pool is beautiful, cute bar. No beach… the pictures on the website trick you into thinking beach is right there. They also don’t clean your room everyday.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! H-keeping was reliable in regards to linens/towels but a bit inconsistent when refreshing room amenities (coffee cups, etc).

We stayed at this hotel several times. It is very nice, It’s nice that they have a separate area for adults.
They also have 3 in house places to eat, a tiki bar for lunch, a roof top for breakfast and bar in the evening and a restaurant for dinner (didn’t go to this one though).
They include free paddle boards and kayaks.
The rooms could have better A/C, they added another portable fan and seem to be having issues with A/C, hopefully will be resolved soon. Also they don’t have room service...

The grounds of the property are absolutely beautiful. The gardens are well-maintained and we loved perusing them. Both pool areas are wonderful, and the amenities such as the bathhouse, lounge, library, and BBQ area are first rate. The room was to our liking and matched the aesthetic of Key West. Walking distance to nearby attractions was approximately 10 minutes and very easy, and the bakery just down the street was wonderful for breakfast, lunch, or a quick snack. We will absolutely stay again...

Best time to go to Florida Keys for a Christmas Vacation
The best time to go on a Christmas vacation in Florida Keys depends on the type of festive experience you're looking for. Traveling in the weeks leading up to Christmas is ideal for visitors who want to enjoy holiday markets, seasonal events and the excitement of the season as destinations come alive with Christmas spirit. Christmas week itself offers the most eventful time, with special celebrations, festive dining, and memorable experiences that make the season feel truly magical. As one of the most popular travel periods of the year, both pre-Christmas and Christmas week can be busy, so booking early often provides the best choice of hotels and travel options. Whether you prefer soaking up the festive build-up or celebrating Christmas Day away from home, a Christmas vacation in Florida Keys can be a memorable and rewarding holiday experience.
Tips to Save on a Christmas Vacation in Florida Keys
Book early for the best selection and value. Christmas is one of the most popular travel periods of the year, so booking flights and hotels well in advance can help you secure better rates and a wider choice of accommodations. While last-minute deals can occasionally appear, waiting too long may mean fewer hotel options and higher rates, especially for popular destinations and family-friendly properties.
Consider pre-Christmas travel dates. Traveling in the weeks leading up to Christmas can be a great way to enjoy festive markets, holiday events, and a seasonal atmosphere while often benefitting from greater availability and attractive travel offers.
Bundle your trip to maximize savings. Combining flights, hotels, and other travel essentials into a package can often provide better overall value than booking separately. Bundle and-save options can also simplify planning and help travelers stay within budget.
Choose the right hotel for your needs. Family-friendly hotels, city center properties, and resorts all offer different benefits. Selecting accommodation that matches your travel style and priorities can help you get the most value from your Christmas vacation without paying for extras you may not need.
With a little planning and flexibility, travelers can enjoy the magic of a Christmas vacation in Florida Keys while maximizing value and booking with confidence.
