The resort, located on Smathers Beach, offers ocean views and spacious suites designed for families.

Dining options feature the Tin Cup Chalice Bar & Chill, which serves local dishes and tropical drinks. Guests also have access to a complimentary shuttle that connects the property with Key West International Airport and Downtown Seaport Harbor.
Good Housekeeping selected its award winners by using feedback from over 125 travel testers—including staff members, industry experts, and consumer evaluators—who assessed hundreds of destinations across five continents. These testers completed surveys about their experiences and provided photos and videos from their trips. Hotels were rated on service, value, food quality, entertainment options, room design, and overall atmosphere. Destinations were also evaluated for attractions, accessibility, lodging choices, and safety.
Additionally, the Good Housekeeping Institute’s Labs tested travel gear for performance and durability. Engineers and analysts reviewed products for innovation and convenience while 116 consumer testers used these items during real-world travel situations both domestically and internationally.
“We’re thrilled to be honored by Good Housekeeping for our family-friendly spirit and signature Key West hospitality,” said Regional Director of Operations Milos Davidovic. “Whether guests are exploring the island, relaxing by the pool, or sharing stories over a sunset cocktail, we’re proud to create moments that reflect the fun, warmth, and easygoing charm that make this destination so special.”
