For our first time in Key West we didn't know what to expect. Overall, Beachside was great. Excellent view from our balcony. The pool was clear and clean, but too small for the amount of people wanting to swim or lay out. We seemed to always be looking for a chair. We didn't expect so many chickens and roosters around the property either, that was new ro us. But when looking to sleep later in the mornings hearing a rooster wasn't ideal.
Our room needed a little maintenence, a bathroom light that flashed when on, a shower that was way too slow to drain, a bedroom doorknob that kept falling apart. But the rooms were clean and nicely decorated. Last day there some ants had made their way into and on the desk. We hadn't used the desk at all, so not sure why they showed up.
The resort concierge was super helpful in planning some activities. Kayak Kings were fabulous for a 2 hour adventure. Sebago dinner cruise and dolphin spotting were terrific as well. Make sure to speak with the concierge before heading to Duvall Street, because she has great suggestions and coupons.
All in all, a excellent trip and resort.
