Search Gay-Friendly Hotels in Cross Key Waterways

"I recently stayed at this hotel in Key Largo, and overall, it’s a mixed experience with some clear highlights. The biggest plus is how genuinely pet-friendly the property is. Not just “allowed,” but truly welcoming—something that’s rare and very appreciated. The atmosphere is incredibly peaceful and calm, perfect for disconnecting and unwinding. Valet parking is not only efficient, but the team is also genuinely kind and helpful—one of the standout aspects of the stay. That said, the property itself feels a bit worn. Not terrible, but definitely showing its age. The overall concept leans heavily toward a “do-it-yourself” experience: you need to pick up your own towels, get your own ice, and handle small things that you’d normally expect to be taken care of in a more full-service hotel. Another downside is the lack of guidance at check-in. No one really explains how the amenities work or what’s available—you’re essentially left to figure everything out on your own. Service overall is average. The staff is polite, but nothing stands out—no real sense of going above and beyond. The beach service, in particular, is almost nonexistent. If you’re expecting to order drinks or food while relaxing by the water, you’ll likely be disappointed. The restaurant is good—solid, enjoyable meals—but not particularly memorable. It does the job without trying to impress. For a stay that cost over $2,000 for three nights, you naturally expect a higher level of service and attention to detail."
