Visiting Florida is never a bad idea. The southern state provides a quick fix of sunshine, and depending on which city you head to, can give you an experience that entirely matches your need. Ready to party along some white sand beaches? Miami is calling. Take the kids to Orlando to enjoy the bucket-list worthy amusement parks. For some great beaches, dolphin-spotting, and some good old Florida flair, head to Key West.
Key West feels about as far removed from the U.S. as you could imagine without actually leaving the United States. A visit throughout the Keys especially makes for a great road trip. Located approximately 90 miles north of Cuba, this colorful town is home to one of the most charming resorts in Florida. If you’re looking for a sunshine-filled getaway and want the convenience of not leaving the United States and enjoying accommodation with top-notch amenities, Southernmost Beach Resort in Key West has got you covered.
Amenities taken to the next level
Southernmost Beach Resort, an award-winning resort located in Key West, is nearly a vacation in itself. The name “Southernmost Beach Resort” didn’t come out of the blue; Key West is the southernmost city in the USA, and because of its geographical location, it brings year-round sunshine. You’ll want to hit the pool to cool off from that beaming Floridian sun, and Southernmost Beach Resort has you more than covered. There are three pools at the resort to choose from: the Pineapple Pool which is located close to the lobby, the Shores Pool which overlooks the Atlantic Ocean, and the Tranquility Pool which is conveniently smack in the middle of the resort. There are also cabanas available to guests for lounging out and relaxing.
Service at the Southernmost Beach Resort is anything but an afterthought, and the warm hospitality begins the moment you arrive. If you arrive prior to check-in time, don’t worry; you can go hit the beach while the hotel stores your luggage. There’s multilingual guest services, appeasing to a wide range of travelers, and the front desk is open 24 hours available at your service. If you’re headed here for romance, there’s even an onsite wedding coordinator.
The rooms and the dining
With a total of 261 rooms, there are plenty of different options for accommodations at Southernmost Beach Resort. The Ocean Front Balcony King room, as the name suggests, provides views of the Atlantic Ocean from its private balcony. For something a little smaller, book the Cozy Queen, a 220-square-foot room with island views. Go big or go home as they say, and at Southernmost Beach Resort, you can do so by booking a recently restored Guesthouse. The Guesthouses at the resort include breakfast, afternoon hors-d’oeuvres, and are adults-only.
But you don’t need to book a Guesthouse to enjoy great dining at the resort. Enjoy Caribbean and American-inspired flavors at Southernmost Beach Café, where you can try dishes like coconut shrimp, cioppino (an Italian tomato-based seafood stew), and for local bites, fresh peel-and-eat Key West pink shrimp and Florida lobster. For a libation to keep in your hand as you enjoy the resort’s pools, head to the poolside Pineapple Bar. Here, you can try the resort’s signature beverage, a pineapple caipirinha, which highlights fresh Florida pineapple.
