Southernmost Beach Resort

Unfortunately this was a horrible time, overpriced and the staff who check you in and out should take a lesson from the Marriott School of Service. The room smelt like mold could be coming from the out dated air condition. Room was nice, bathroom good size, shower floor was so slick almost fell several times. To large of tile used in shower making it quite dangerous. For $ 500 a night you wouldn’t expect to be put in a room above their laundry that runs all day and night and across the street from the construction that was going on. They put a huge emphasis on tipping but do nothing to earn it! We will stick with the Hawaiian Islands for our vacations! The Aloha Spirit you can’t beat it!

beautiful property, nice updated room. was under impression that beach was private but it’s NOT, any tom, dick and harry can utilize it. there is a fee resort charge for use of gym and pools. there is also a parking fee. ample parking once arriving on a sunday but when we went out for the day with the car and came back Monday evening, the hotel had barricades blocking many parking spots. dislike this. would book again though.

Horrible, they sneak a $ 30 per night fee on top of what you already paid to stay! Trust me you guys you’re not that good of a hotel to justify this.

I just returned from a four night trip with three friends. We stayed in a partial ocean view room with a balcony and two queen beds thanks to a surprise upgrade from a friend. We thought the room was beautiful (despite a strange bathroom set-​up where the toilet, shower, and sink all open to the same space, so it makes it difficult to share amongst 4 people), and the resort location and amenities were quite nice.
The issue I have is that our trip was to celebrate my birthday. Southernmost had no problem accepting the money of friends who called to upgrade our room or have champagne and flowers delivered through them. However, the woman in charge of these gift requests was unavailable for one of my friends, who went with a third party to deliver champagne to the hotel. Despite confirming with the third party that her order had been delivered and signed for, and contacting the resort each day of our trip, the best they could tell us was that «we still can’t find the champagne.» No offer of a refund or delivering champagne of their own.
When you are spending $ 400+ a night at a resort, you expect far better service than this. Despite enjoying the room and resort, it’s an experience that will dissuade me from returning next time I’m in Key West.

My partner and I stayed at Southernmost last week for her 50^th birthday. It started off with the probably 18 year old couple in front of me getting upgraded to an ocean front room. I don’t think they fully understood what that meant but hopefully they were able to enjoy it. Everything went smoothly as far as the check-​in process until we got up to our «Ocean View Room». We walked into the room (which was very nice and large, very well maintained and very clean) and the first «view» we had was of the man in the building directly across from us changing his clothes. I thought there must be a mistake because when I booked the room, the picture of an «Ocean View Room» was one of that where you looked directly out into the ocean. Nothing could have been further from the truth. And actually, from our room, you could not see the ocean at all, which was why we picked this resort in the first place. You actually have to go out onto your not «private» balcony to see a partial view. So this room would be a partial view, at the very best! I don’t mean to make it sound like this hotel is a bad place to stay because it isn’t. It’s very nice and clean and like I said, our room was large. However, at this point, I felt a little duped. The pictures of the views they show on the website don’t accurately represent what we received. Also, I paid an extreme amount of money to wake up TO the ocean and it was just disappointing. At this point, my partner called down to the desk to ask about different options and to see if there was a mix-​up or if we could be accommodated. The gentleman on the phone actually became confrontational with her. At that point we requested to move to a different hotel and he became even more confrontational and said that would be fine but we wouldn’t see our deposit back. When she got off the phone I hopped on and asked to speak with a manager. The manager was very nice and tried her best to accommodate us but they had given their last «Ocean Front Room» to the teenage couple in front of us. She also offered for us to be moved to a smaller room with a better view but we didn’t want that either as there are people walking back and forth right in front of your windows. I would just really caution any readers to be well aware of what they are buying. The hotel is grossly misrepresented on the website and I feel as though I was duped into paying on some nights in excess of $ 700 for a room that wasn’t as it was advertised. Also, upon check-​out, we requested a late check-​out because our flight didn’t leave until 3:00. We were denied that but told we could have access to the pool showers. I was very disappointed because I had just spent thousands of dollars at their resort and they couldn’t accommodate me for one extra hour. That’s all I was asking for and the best he could do was pool showers. For thousands of dollars! I do have to stress, besides the customer service from the main office, it was exceptional everywhere else. From the pool staff to the housekeeping staff, they were all spectacular. The food at the Southernmost Beach Café was also incredible. Lastly, Megan, who was a bartender at the Shores Bar while we were there was the best bartender we have ever had in our entire lives. If we could have packed her up and brought her back to Nebraska we would have! We had a great time in Key West but will probably not ever stay here again.

Fantasic hotel the grounds are impeccable. We’ve stayed here twice now and I couldn’t be more pleased. Special thanks the Meagan at the Shores bar she makes the stay even more special. See ya next January

Verrrry comfortable bed, clean room, nice staff. Closest to Souhernmost Buoy, Ana’s, Camille’s, and no Duvall St noise.

Upscale, quiet, semi-​kid friendly. Great pools, amazing views. The live music by the pool was a highlight of our stay. The hammocks by the water provide the perfect spot for reading and sipping a cold drink. The quiet end of Duval.

I was asked to call the resort so they could «take care of this» with me. Nope, nothing was taken care of. They would not even consider splitting the difference anx crediting me a single nights rates. Shady business.

I’ve been coming to this property for the last 5 years. This year I am super disappointed. I paid top dollar for 2 nights go stay here. One night is over 600 with taxes. A friend was looking to come to key west today and I went online to check the rate only to find that the rate for tonight is 369 plus tax for the same room
I understand this property has been bought out and some of the perks like free coffee and free parking are no longer offered.

Good service and a friendly, amenable staff. Booked via Amex and was allowed to check in 4 hours early and stay an hour later. Live music and multiple amenity centers are nice. You can’t beat the hammocks by the water. The partial ocean view with balcony was nice, but I’d pay the extra $ 50−100/night for a full ocean view.

This was a great introduction to Key West. Since we are pretty active we love the location. Walking 15 — 30 minutes to bars and restaurants feels like a good idea. The positive trade-​off is that the near-​neighborhood is relatively quiet. The exercise room is well equipped and under-​used. Another great combo.
The grounds are ridiculously well maintained. We watched a groundskeeper cleaning small river rocks in the garden beds. Beautiful attention to detail. The pools are nicely maintained, especially considering the bather loads. If you like the quiet, the tranquility pool is, well, tranquil. Since there is no bar, you don’t get that particular scene.
At the check-​in our room was thoughtfully upgraded for a small additional rate. Not hard sell, but a most welcome offer. We ended up with a water view, upstairs. Well worth the upgrade. Great front of the house staff, knowledgeable about the area and friendly. In fact ALL the staff were friendly and helpful.
My wife had mentioned this as our tenth anniversary trip. Complimentary wine and rose petals!
One complaint, the WI-​FI is not very robust. Unfortunately, I had a bit of work to do and was hampered in my efforts. (I know, you don’t go to Key West to work). An update is needed.
There is something for everyone: crowded bar scene, quiet corners, ping-​pong and corn hole, ocean pier with swim steps, Southernmost Café for quick food, beautiful Adirondak Chairs, hammocks, etc.
As mentioned, our first trip to the Keys and we were flying blind. SBR was a great place, a nice value, and definitely worth a return trip.

I had looked up yoga for classes when I was in Key West. I went to
. and they gave the days, times and information on yoga there on the beach in Key West. I decides to go Saturday at 9. The location at the resort is perfect for yoga and there were 3 of us for class. The teacher showed up exactly at class time and although the area was amazing she spoke so quietly it was hard to know the instruction. She also started with a spinal twist. As a yoga teacher I knew that was a no-​no; didn’t do it. She led us through what I would call a restorative class. The view is what makes the experience worthwhile. I just wish the class had been a little more challenging and meditative.

Really great hotel the rooms were a nice size and really clean. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I like the little beach they have, but I found the pool to be more relaxing. They even came around with frozen ice pops which was really cute. The location is at the end of Duval so you do really need to drive to get the Mallory Square and all the bars. We were able to walk to dinner one night because the restaraunt was close to the hotel. The one benefit we walked right out to take pictures at the Sotuhern Most point. The hotel has several bars and a gym. I think next time I would do the Hyatt just because I found it a little annoying to have to constantly drive to get anywhere.

The Mini Suite is worth the extra $$!! Strongly recommended for anyone wanting to spend a few days in the Keyes :)

So the rooms are big enough for 4 middle aged women to share 1. We decided to save money and share 1 room so we could eat and drink as much as we wanted.
The staff was friendly! Highly recommend!

Clean rooms nice beach area, poolside can get a little crowded. but overall had an ok time. One issue I must point out is there’s a very rude night manger named Ben, horrible approach not professional at all. Started yelling at us and he followed us up the driveway without identify himself. I was forced to read him the riot act, That’s when he acquiesced. Then in the middle of the night the fire alarm rang out around 3:30 am. Not sure if I’ll go back still thinking about it.

Pretty decent hotel but the Hyatt is still my favorite on Key West.
The biggest thing to note here is the location. It is down at the south end of the island. This side is a little quieter (but not quiet) and there are more of the gay bars on this side. So if you mind drag queens giving you the once over, stay on the other side. Me, I thought it was kinda funny. Still, the north side was more fun.
So the property is part of a group of southernmost hotels, all are older hotel style or b&b setups. This one was an older hotel style, with all the hallways and things being outside. Quaint but not luxurious. The rooms were pretty small but nicely fitted out, marble and a big stand up shower (though we were in the handicap room randomly, not sure if all the showers were this big).
The pool was pretty nice, with a bar right there. The beach was tiny but right there and available as well.
Overall, this was nothing wrong with this place but it lacked the it factor. I probably wouldn’t stay again, especially for the $ 500/​night or so they ask for in the Winter. That said, you could do much worse.

The room is rather small but clean and modern. The location, views, and accommodations are what make this place worthwhile. Three pools, live music almost all day and late into the evening. Plenty of lounge chairs, hammocks, and watering holes to keep anyone looking for that concrete jungle getaway satisfied.
Although the service was nice, they didn’t bill me correctly and so i had about $ 50 more in charges than I should have. When I explained it to the guy at the front counter, he quickly skirted around why the charges were there, but I know it wasn’t correct. They get so busy at the counter that the shortcutting cost me. Not worth the back and forth… but it is why I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5.

Beautiful hotel! Our room had an ocean view, and it was right by the sand and the awesome pier where people can hang out and relax on the actual pier. I didn’t realized the pier had steps that go down into the water till later. Very very cool!
I love the hammocks hanging from the trees! It’s perfect for laying on during sunset or even after dinner to enjoy the night sky or the ocean. The room itself was very plantation chic, and I like walking out into the balcony every morning and after dinner to relax.
The staff were very accommodating and prompt, the hotel itself is very nice and if you’re willing to spurge alittle, this place is a nice treat. The Mr. and I really enjoyed our stay and have talked about coming down here when we visit his parents up in West Palm Beach for years to come.
There’s two hotels, this one is on the beach and the other one is around the corner from this location.
Cheers!
