Learn more about Key West

Hemingway's ghost still haunts the bars where he once drank, while cockerels strut through streets with more confidence than tourists. At Mallory Square, sunset becomes theatre as fire-jugglers and troubadours compete for attention. The Southernmost Point buoy draws selfie-seekers, though locals know the actual southernmost spot lies elsewhere. Tour the author's six-toed-cat-filled home before cooling off with key lime pie that sparks debates about meringue versus whipped cream. Snorkel at Fort Zachary Taylor, then wander Duval Street where T-shirt shops give way to sophisticated galleries. The Truman Little White House reveals presidential history, while the nightly parade of characters proves that in Key West, being normal is the only real sin.

Havana Cabana at Key West

4/10 Poor
"Bathroom wall had visible stain looks like mold, sheet had a stain and we requested new sheets they took over 4 hours and dropped them off for my wife to remake the bed, hotel charged $400 in fees once we arrived that we was unaware of the hotel didn’t provide a ride to the airport for departure, so we had to call a taxi , we was also disappointed in the shuttle service because they would be late or unable to pickup , the best thing about this hotel is the pool area and the historic lobby, plus they only drop at one location if you use shuttle buses ."
