What Makes Old Key West Special
What to Love & What to Keep in Mind
Make the Most of Your Old Key West Experience
The resort is HUGE and spread out. Ask at check-in which bus stop is nearest to your villa to save time and energy.
With a full kitchen, hit a local grocery store on arrival. Preparing some meals saves hundreds on dining and lets you relax in your villa.
The 20-minute boat to Disney Springs is wonderful, but buses to parks take longer. Plan accordingly and consider early park hours.
Old Key West isn't the most immersive theme park hotel. Use it as your peaceful home base for a more balanced, less-rushed vacation.
The on-site restaurant offers surprisingly good Southern comfort food with Keys flavors. Don't skip the conch fritters and Key lime pie!
With 761 villas, there's beautiful scenery to discover. Take walks around the palm-lined streets, lighthouse, and waterways.
The Grand Villa (2,375 sq ft) can sleep 12. It's ideal for extended family vacations where everyone wants their own space and privacy.
Avoid peak crowds by visiting in spring or fall. You'll enjoy the pools, boat, and relaxed atmosphere with fewer people around.
