Best Hotels with Free Breakfast in Key West

This luxurious property is ideal for fulfilling your latest Robinson Crusoe fantasy, seeing as this resort is located off the coast of Key West, Florida, on Sunset Key, a 27-acre private island. Families in particular love the accommodations, which include one-, two-, three- or four-bedroom white-washed cottages, each equipped with a kitchen, a private veranda, a flat-screen TV and internet access (which the $50 daily resort fee covers). Despite its amenities, some guests warn that the rooms need an upgrade and the cuisine is hit or miss. However, travelers rave about the views from the Latitudes restaurant. The property also offers a spa, a pool, a fitness center, tennis courts and a private beach. For those looking to lounge beachside, vacationers say be extra careful traversing the sands, as sharp rocks are sporadic. To get to the property, you'll need to take advantage of the resort's 24-hour boat shuttle service, which travels between the property and the Margaritaville Key West Resort & Marina.

This all-suite hotel wins lodgers over with its central location (just a block from Key West, Florida's lively Duval Street) and amenities. The property's $45 daily resort fee covers some of Santa Maria Suites' most noteworthy perks, including Dove ice cream bars and chocolates distributed during turndown service and the complimentary smoothies, bottled water and fresh fruit available at the property's two swimming pools. In-room amenities include flat-screen TVs, H2O toiletries, coffee makers and fully equipped kitchens. After you've gotten your fill of complimentary wine and snacks at the daily happy hour, head to the on-site restaurant – Ambrosia – for some Japanese eats. Recent guests also said the hotel's location means there are plenty of delicious restaurants within walking distance. It's the thoughtful extras and the friendly staff that have many past visitors wishing they could stay here year-round.

As its name suggests, The Gardens Hotel Key West's lush grounds are the focal point of this historic boutique hotel. Offering up a feeling of seclusion, the gardens (along with the property's smaller size) ensure you can relax and enjoy Key West, Florida's island lifestyle. (The quaint pool and aviary certainly help, too.) The Gardens Hotel is just two blocks away from Key West's lively Duval Street and sits within a mile of must-see sights like Mallory Square, the Southernmost Point and the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum. Just make sure to grab a bite while out exploring. Even though the hotel offers drinks, lighter fare and complimentary breakfast – which is excellent, according to previous guests – at its on-site pool bar and wine gallery, it does not offer full meals for lunch and dinner. Once you're ready for a little R&R, retreat to one of 20 guest rooms. Featuring plantation-style furnishings and hardwood floors, all of The Garden Hotel's accommodations boast Keurig coffee makers, flat-screen TVs and balconies, decks or verandas, among other amenities. And for the ultimate luxury, consider reserving one of four Garden Cottages; removed from the main house, these lodging options offer more square footage and share a private pool. Other options include an additional cottage set in a secluded part of the property and a suite with a private sauna.
