    One turtle pool area. Poor things have no enrichment items.
    Marianne C.

    This is a great location right on the water on Front street. I give it three stars because it has seen better days. It's getting tired. We came here 14 years ago. It's the exact same room, but with dirty grout, chipping tiles, and chipped paint. This place just begs for a general facelift. It's been too long since this hotel has been "touched up." The room is fine, but the furniture is showing its age. They added nice touches like cotton swabs, facial cotton pads, shower caps, and fingernail polish remover. I just wish they would tell you this before you go so that you know you don't have to carry these things with you. The outside surrounding areas also need attention. The breakfast was actually quite good and plentiful, but expensive (~$80 for two people). Shout out to Courtney Roltsch, Food and Beverage Manager, for a gracious response to a disastrous breakfast Yes, the beach is small, but this and the Pier House, I believe, are the only hotels on the Gulf side that even have a beach. That's Key West. If you want a huge beach, you can go to the Fort Zachary Taylor public beach, which is wonderful, but on the Atlantic side. I agree with the other comment that it's very sad in this day and age to see a parrot confined, although at night I did not see him. I can only hope he's allowed to fly free at times. Also, the turtles seem to have no enrichment. Even though they claim they are attended to by professionals, it's sad to see them in pools with just planks to rest on and one piece of wood to explore. This hotel rates are quite expensive and that's why I believe this hotel needs to be renovated. If you charge high prices people expect more. It's time!! They say (in the key card pouch that I read 2 days after arriving) included in the daily resort fee is a refreshment item at the pool daily. This did not happen nor did we get the Welcome Drink. They also mention you have access to umbrellas and ponchos. It was pouring when we arrived. No one mentioned those items upon arrival. I thought to ask for an umbrella and I did receive what I believe was one of only two that I saw. They also mentioned two hours of a free bike rental. I didn't see the bikes nor was I told about this when I arrived. FYI--there are two taxes added to the resort fee. This seems to be the norm these days. I don't know why the properties just don't increase the room rates as opposed to adding these fees. It's very annoying. They have added what I will call a water station. You can get flavored still or sparkling water in a reusable metal water bottle that is provided, part of your resort fee. On another note, the CVS has moved even closer to this hotel. It's a nice plus if you need anything.

    This hotel is in the perfect place. A couple of blocks to Mallory Square, Duval Street and right near the marina and harbor walk. The staff was amazing! Marcela and her sidekick at the front desk, Joshua at the mojito bar, and housekeeping was great too. Drinks and food good. We rented a golf cart one day to cruise around, but Key West is very walkable. Room was fabulous.

    Was a pretty nice stay at this hotel. I'm not a fan of the roosters that woke me up every night. Chickens are everywhere in Key West. Property was clean. Service was good. Also enjoyed the spa. There is a spa but you need to make reservations. They have a lot of turtles and a beautiful bird on site at the hotel. They have a Small pool area to me, but I'm used to large resort hotels. Hotel is located directly on the beach. The beach area is pretty small, but it's accessible.They have a good concierge office and you can do all types of activities like rent bikes, mopeds, a jet ski tour and more. We rented electric car and they are $90 for a 4 seater for 3 hours. Room was kept clean daily. They also have a restaurant on site that was pretty good. I had an omelette for breakfast and I was good. I had the paparadelle pasta with shrimp and it was excellent. It's one of the best hotels for Key West so I would recommend.

    Great place stayed here about 4 years ago and now again and this place never lets me down. The staff from the front desk to the bartenders to the cleaning crew are A+ the location is also great and close by to all the restaurants and bars.

    Super disappointed in our stay. While the room was clean and neat, and the service was warm and welcoming from the moment we checked in, the temperature of the room was terrible. For starters, the wall AC system had a real slow air speed so they couldn't possibly get the entire room. Cool. The area of the room was nice and cold immediately next to the AC system, but 5 feet away from it it was warmer. Secondly, what is the Fan. I think it had two speeds. Oh well barely on. I went to the front desk and requested a maintenance service call on it. When we return to the hotel, seven hours later, it doesn't appear. Anything have been done. Staying there for two nights was rather uncomfortable in the warm room.

    This Hyatt resort is in an excellent location; right off Front street. You're at the North end where I find much more pleasant with more options nearby. Mallory Square is pretty close for the sunsets and outdoor performers, and so is famous Duval Street, where cool bars like Sloppy Joes are only a 10 minute walk. There's also Greene street with a bunch of cool shops and a nice harbor to have a drink at. The Hyatt resort itself is quite large, with a man-made beach, pool, restaurants and bars. You can really sit back and relax here, with a beautiful view of the Gulf. There is access to the water, but it looked a little dangerous to take a step down to it from the rocks. Staff here are very friendly. Everywhere we went, we were greeted with a smile. Our room was quite large with a nice big Kind Bed and huge HD TV. The bathroom was beautiful with a large walk-in shower offering high quality soap, shampoo, etc. There was a small patio with a view of the water which was nice. We were in building #3, on the west end. You really can't go wrong staying here; highly recommended!

    I loved this beautiful hotel. I got lunch at the restaurant. I enjoyed the great ocean views and food. I went to the third floor. The views were perfect. I could see consummate views!

    I want to preface my review by revealing that I didn't have to pay for my stay. It was a "healthcare hero" gift awarded to my spouse for working in NY during peak COVID. We were here for the 2021 Memorial Day weekend and I enjoyed my stay at Hyatt Centric Key West Resort & Spa, barring a few misses here and there. I want to give it a 3.5 but have to bump it to 4 because of yelp We arrived a couple hours before check-in time; the front desk and staff were kind enough to check us in and grant us access to the room. We were welcomed with a glass of chilled champagne and ice water. We got a partial ocean view room with a small balcony. Housekeeping was great, the room was very clean and our towels were replaced daily. The room felt slightly small with low ceilings and dark walls but since I didn't spend a lot of time there this wasn't an issue. I was very happy with staff except a few times at the pool side when a hotel staff stopped to confirm I indeed was a guest there (I didn't observe them doing so for others guests and felt uncomfortable); there was another similar interaction at the resort shop etc. but it didn't affect my stay. The staff at the front desk and bar were pleasant and inviting. They have complimentary coffee by the pool but it was quite awful. Instead, we walked a couple minutes to Fisherman's cafe and got delicious coffee and breakfast. We skipped eating at the resort and therefore can't comment on it. They have a decent sized pool; I felt comfortable and was able to social distance. They also have a hot tub/ jacuzzi. No complaints. It was very relaxing. They have a few reclining chairs in the back facing the ocean. We got lucky and were able to get a spot just before sunset and early morning and were able to enjoy the splendid views. Unfortunately, they also had live music on that weekend which was too loud to be relaxing... Do take advantage of their bike rental plan ($15 for 24 hours) - it is more affordable than other options but the bikes are not very well-maintained. I got a flat tire within a few hours of use and they had to give me keys to another bike. All in all, you can't beat the location and views ! It's close to all tourist attractions, restaurants and gives you access to magnificent views (from a reclining chair). We enjoyed our stay but if were to pay $700 a night I would have expected A LOT more !

    It's tough for a resort to do Key West but, the Hyatt does it right. I think in order to appreciate this resort you need to understand a few things about key west- beaches/sand real estate is scarce, cruise ship visits can make or break your visit and it's heavy on the water sports activists. There is truly no place like it. We arrived after a super early flight to be greeted by smiling faces who seemed genuinely happy to help. We are Hyatt globalist and tho all the benefits aren't necessarily accommodated at this type of property- especially when you book through a third party- but they were accommodating. We were able to check in early, check out late and breakfast was included. Our room had a partial water view and a tiny balcony- just enough space for the 2 of us to sit and enjoy. The room itself was spacious and super clean. There was also plenty of storage to put our clothing away. The shower had perfect water pressure and also had plenty of room. The only issue I had regarding the bathroom was the tile flooring that was incredibly slippery when wet- you almost need to line the entire bathroom floor with towels. Something unique to the Hyatt Centrics are the specialty hair dryers- the buttercup from the blow dry bar. The bed was fluffy and fitted with cooling sheets- just daring you to sleep in late. We enjoyed our breakfast at the hotel Resturant Shor pretty much every morning. The chef/cook seemed to be a big fan of the butter- while I agree it can make food just that much more yummy- it tended to be a bit too much. The breakfast options I was suggest include The egg white omelette, eggs Florentine, breakfast sandwich and the Cuban skillet. It missed the mark on the crab cake Benedict and salmon toast. The coffee was simply terrible- which is incredibly disappointing considering that key west is known for their Cuban coffee. Some afternoons we snacked at the hotels other restaurant- blue mojito- which had solid happy hour specials: 50% certain cocktails and 25% select appetizers. Unfortunately, I was unable to indulge in a mojito because they ran out of mint. The chips, salsa and guacamole were a great beach side snack. Now to get to the "beach side" and pool options. There are few options and small areas. The pool area tended to get significantly crowded and didn't have much of a breeze. There is a dock option as well as a mini sand area. All of which are equipped with nice lounge chairs and umbrellas. Also, huge perk, they have purified water stations around for you to fill up and stay hydrated. The best part of this place was for sure the location! It's in the heart of everything- you can walk to anyone of the wonderful bars, restaurants or activities. We would be happy to visit again.

    Is there a beach? If not, how far to nearest one?

    There is no beach space, there is a very small public beach literally right next door called Simonton Beach. When I went, it was not crowded at all. You can grab drinks and food at Lagerheads which is on the beach and eat and drink there!

Didn't take away our used plates, which ending up making the small table super crowded, didn't check up on us, and over-all was mute the entire time serving us. Would come and in a blink she was gone again before we could ask anything. I understand waitresses can get caught up when taking care of multiple people, but there truly wasn't many people there. The Ambiance was nice, tables and overall space did look clean. We had an early dinner so there wasn't too much of a crowd. Bar had nice music. The aesthetic of the place is charming. Overall I'd give it 3 stars. If you're hungry and need a fill-me-up this is a good spot. Otherwise, if you can, I'd suggest you go elsewhere.

Great service at this restaurant. On my most recent visit, the views weren't quite as picturesque because there was a large amount of sargassum (seaweed) along the shoreline. A skid steer was actively pushing it into piles, and the smell was unfortunately pretty strong. That's obviously a natural condition and not really the restaurant's fault, but it did take away from the overall waterfront experience that day. Thankfully, the food was still excellent. The conch fritters are a must-order, and the fish tacos were absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh and was served quickly. The restaurant offers all outdoor seating with views of the beach and the neighboring hotel's sandy beachfront, complete with lounge chairs and umbrellas, giving it a laid-back Key West vibe. There's also convenient off-street parking nearby, which is a nice bonus. If you're exploring the Southernmost Point and want a casual spot with good food and a relaxing atmosphere, Southernmost Beach Cafe is definitely worth a visit. Hopefully, you'll catch it on a day when the water is clear and free of sargassum so you can fully enjoy the views.

Each activity group understood and refunded us. The car company penalized us for 1 day but refunded the other 7 days. The hotel in Islamorada and Key Largo both refunded us with the Islamorada charging us for one night but it was better than nothing. We didn't mess with the one in MIA because it was a cheap hotel and wasn't worth the hassle. The Pier House first asked us for proof of the cancellation which I forwarded the email that I received from American. Heard nothing back. Reached out again asking for a refund or that we'd even be willing to rebook in May once my treatment was over and a few weeks to heal up. Finally we heard back that they were denying the refund and wouldn't accommodate our request to reschedule "because your non-refundable hotel did not qualify for modification nor refund exception.". While I understand it was non-refundable, a level of understanding should have been given as this was beyond our control and we were willing to reschedule. Needless to say, that cost me nearly $2500 so I assure you that I won't be booking with them again. I just want to pass along the compassion that this hotel management has and I'd personally recommend looking at a different property.

He seemed to have a more relaxed approach to the executive branch, often trading formal suits and ties for khakis and Hawaiian shirts. There are also reprints of newspaper clippings and political cartoons that don't always portray him or his administration in a positive light. To me, that made the experience feel more authentic, especially compared to the highly polished and carefully branded narratives often associated with modern political figures.
