I stay at the Pier House every year and have always been satisfied. The
best rooms IMO are the garden view rooms on the 2nd floor, e'g., 420 -
440. They will run you 250.00/night.
It's nice to have a small beach where you can sit and even swim in the
ocean in the morning, but there is also a pool which is deep enough to
dive into. They serve good breakfasts and lunches which you can eat
under an umbrella on the deck or beach-side bar, but thiere dinners are
pricey. But you would be at 1 Duval Street, within easy walking
distance of the Key West Bight and the Mallory Docks. Other people like
the Ocean Key, across the street at 0 Duval. They have a pool and I
have heard hot-tubs in the rooms. These would be my two choices if you
stay at a hotel.
If you go try not to miss El Meson de Pepe on Wall Street at night to
listen to their Cuban band. Their food is good but their drinks are
expensive. Try a mojito ($8.50). Also, for happy hour, go to Kellys' on
Whitehead Street. From 4 - 7 they serve the best 2.50 margueritas and
1.50 micro brews.
Other places not to miss; Blue Heaven on Petronia (they say Thomas, but
who you gonna believe?) two blocks off Duval. They have some of the
best food on the island. Try the blackened grouper. One more block
brings you to Santiago's Bodega for tapas and sangria (Order a pitcher
or you'll run out). B.O.'s Fishwagon on Caroline. Trust me, it's open.
Pepe's also on Caroline for home-made breakfasts. And any of the places
on the Bight - Half-Shell Raw bar or Turtle Kraals for shrimp and Key
West Sunset Lager.
And one other thing. Check out the Sebago Island T'ing for a fun day on
the water. Light breakfast, a snorkel trip, good lunch, a kayak trip,
and a few unanounced fun things. It's 10 - 4 and 79.00 / person, but
you can save money by booking on-line. And one other other thing. Catch
a sunset from the top of the La Concha Hotel, in the middle of Duval.
