Great location. Rooms are small but well done. Restaurant & bar excellent. Beachfront, but very few views available from rooms. Who cares though, go outside! Valet parking, food & bar service on the beach. Close to Duval & the southernmost buoy

Stopped in to have a few cocktails. They were all fantastic! The food was fresh and amazing! Cheyenne was my bartender over the course of a few days and she was amazing and entertaining and very helpful with suggestions and advice! Definitely will be coming back!

We truly enjoyed our stay at The Reach. We enjoyed the clean beach with minimal traffic. We even rented day beds one day. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive, and the rooms were clean and well-maintained. The location was perfect. Away from the chaos of Duval Street for quiet, but also close enough that we could walk to everything. I would plan to stay here again when in Key West.

Prior to booking I saw mixed reviews from hospitality, service and rooms. From my personal experience this weekend everything was exceptional. From arriving to the hotel and first interactions with the valet to checking in to our room with Foster who was amazing. Our time by the pool and beach were superb and Stephanie had an amazing personality and hospitality every time. The chairs and umbrellas by the beach are included along with towels. Servers walk the pool and beach regularly to take orders of food or drinks. I had ordered a romantic package for the room and it did not disappoint. The resort fees were adequate for amenities. The valet parking is the only means of parking, but is $50 a day which is a little pricey imo, but I also am a local from Tampa where I find free beach parking. Everyone at FD was very nice when we interacted with them and 2 guys in valet were superb. Highly recommend and hopefully the experience we received remains consistent for everyone else visiting!

Interesting layout for a hotel. Valet parking is expensive. The rooms don’t do much to block the outside door slamming if you have loud neighbors. It’s a good value compared to other boutique locations but it’s not cheap. Key west during the holidays is busy and pricing is in line with everything else key west. Overall it’s a decent stay but not one of Curio’s best locations. As far as what you can get in Key West it’s among the best in this price range. Keep your expectations in line with the prices, you’re not paying 2-3k per night so you’re not getting flawless. Overall great value.

We came here from North Carolina for my husband's 40th. Let me tell you, absolutely the best trip ever! This hotel is a gem! The staff are amazing and so helpful. Everyone is so kind. We did experience some issues but it was from Expedia not the hotel directly. This hotel did their best to accommodate and fix a mistake that was not even their's. The restaurant is fabulous! You truly do not even need to leave if you do not want to. The restaurant at night, it is a whole vibe on itself!

Staying at this hotel was fun! My only 2 complaints were that almost none of the outlets in our room worked and our bathroom sink drained super slow like it was almost clogged. One of the only working outlets was a super slow charge so charging everyone's devices was a little frustrating throughout our stay. The hotel was very clean, staff was friendly and professional, there is lots of lounge space outside of the bedrooms which is a wonderful bonus. The pools were awesome and the beach has the softest sand. The location is a dream for walking to any entertainment or food you want on Duval St, or you can easily rent a golf cart or scooter. Conceirge was extremely helpful when booking activities at the hotel, everything we did was memorable in the best way! I would definitely stay here again.
