Our take

The Mermaid & the Alligator earns its 9.3 rating with a garden setting, a year-round outdoor pool, a hot tub and a sun terrace, close to South Beach, Duval Street and the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum. Rooms are air-conditioned with garden views and free WiFi. It is listed as adults-only. My advice: book it for a couples' stay in Key West, and choose another address if you travel with children.

  • Explore the garden and find a quiet spot to relax by the pool or in the lounge area
  • Take advantage of the hot tub for a soothing experience after a day of walking
  • Walk to Duval Street in the evening for dinner and entertainment, it's very close

Why we love it

  • The year-round outdoor swimming pool
  • Relaxing hot tub and sun terrace
  • Lush garden setting for tranquility
  • Proximity to major Key West attractions
Why guests love it

The Mermaid & the Alligator is listed as adults-only, so families with children should look elsewhere in Key West. For couples, it scores 9.3 out of 10 across 166 reviews. The year-round outdoor pool, the hot tub, the sun terrace and the garden make a calm base, and rooms are air-conditioned with garden views. South Beach, the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum and Duval Street are close by. I recommend it to adults who want a garden-focused stay near Old Town.
