Opal Key Resort & Marina - Resort hotel in Key West - 245 Front St, USA

Always an amazing stay. From the moment you walk into the lobby, everyone is always friendly and inviting. We had the pleasure of being checked in by Jodi Ann. She was more than helpful and had just a great personality. We were upgraded upon request and weren't disappointed. The guest services manager Anne was amazing as well. We always choose this hotel due to the closeness to everything as well as the hospitality. . A great place to stay with children as well. Can’t beat Mallory Square right behind the hotel for an amazing sunset. From the valet to housekeeping, everyone is always welcoming us. It says a lot about Opal’s commitment to a great stay. We’ll be back as always!!!!

There is a lot of maintenance required for a hotel next to the ocean. Because it heavily rained two days of our stay, there were many roof leaks around the facility which the staff was actively working on but not in our room. The staff was accommodating. If you are looking to swim, there is only one pool which is too small for a facility this size, but a decent amount of chairs around the pool so we enjoyed the sun. The bartender at the pool Michael was awesome. The popsicles mid day were a nice treat too. |We had a double queen Oceanview room. Our room was over a store and we enjoyed watching whichever cruise ship was at port for the day as well as the people. You do NOT want an oceanview next to the Bistro because your view during the day would be only the ships hull. Our room was in the other building. |We would stay there again.

Room 311 was full of cockroaches! We definitely didn’t pay for the motel. Carpet in the hallway on 3rd floor smelled. Swimming pool is old, small and overcrowded. Room 381 please consider to NOT pay for the ocean view room as whole day until 4 pm there are big cruise ships on the way to your view. Very disappointing. Rooms are old and wallpaper is coming off the walls. For sure you can find a better place for this money. Good things : location, food in the restaurant was ok, ice cream near the hotel, free bottled water.

I booked the marina view room which was amazing, except when the big cruise ships were in port. The beds were comfortable, the balcony was small but the view was great. This hotel is within walking distance to all the bars and shops. There was free water in the lobby and the food at the restaurant was good. I liked that the room key was a wrist band, it made life easier.

We always stayed at another highly rated resort hotel on the water until I discovered Opal Key Resort. Now we stay in the full ocean view rooms with balcony on the upper floor. The beds are comfy, the rooms clean and the service is friendly and professional. The location is quieter for relaxing with a cocktail in the evening. If you are in the mood for live music you are just a short stroll across Mallory Square to the Sunset Pier.

Perfectly centrally located!! Walk everywhere or a quick bike ride 😀 I have had a pool view and marina view and loved them both. Coffee in the lobby, had grocery delivery and sunset view from the 2nd floor bar is awesome!! Room have everything you need. Only downside is toilet paper is terrible, buy your own, lol seriously though.

This place is top notch with location, location, location and customer service. Beautiful views and amenities. I can’t stay anywhere else. Afraid I will be disappointed.|Right on Mallory Square with all the action and on the bay for fantastic sunset views. Even if a cruise ship pulls up, it’s only there during the day for a few hours. No big deal. This place is class, beauty, and comfort in paradise.

We stayed here during our first trip to key west and were pleasantly surprised after reading many negative reviews online. We let the concierge know we were visiting for our honeymoon and they upgraded our room to a king suite, had a bottle of champagne and box of chocolates waiting for us, and gave us vouchers for daily breakfast ($25/person) at their onsite restaurant. The room/property was clean, staff were friendly/helpful, and views were one-of-a-kind. They offer the following complimentary beverages to guests: bottled water or flavored sparkling water throughout the day, fresh squeezed orange juice or coffee each morning, frozen fruity beverage (non-alcoholic) in the afternoon and a popsicle poolside at noon. Food at their Bistro 245 was so good! Options were few, but they had the basics for breakfast: pancakes, omelet, French toast, sampler platter, and even a lobster Benedict! One thing to note: large cruise ships will dock right behind this resort, often blocking your view of the ocean for a day at a time (we stayed Sat-Tues and had cruise ships there all day Sun and Mon). But there’s plenty of good views of the marina or nearby resting spots without the cruise ship in your view if you don’t mind venturing out of your room. Our rate came with a $100 credit to use at any of the resort vendors and they even texted me the morning of checkout to remind me of the balance I had remaining to use in an effort to encourage me to spend rather than lose it. The rooms were clean and towels were excellent quality! Soft and thick. If I had to find a negative, it’d be that the air conditioner sounded like a jet engine, but it worked like a charm. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would room here in the future if we ever ventured to Key West again. ❤️
