Santa Maria Suites - Key West, USA 

My wife and I stayed at the Santa Maria Suites for our surprise honey moon. Many of the review I read claimed it was a wonderful place to visit. They were all right. We thoroughly enjoyed the accommodations, the location and friendliness of the staff. The rooms were spacious with a living room/kitchen and a large master bed room. The main bathroom was enormous and luxurious. The property was very centrally located, which made it easy for us to more or less walk everywhere we wanted to see on the island including harbor, several beaches and many restaurants. We rarely talk about heading back to the same place twice, but we liked the resort so much, that we just might head back there some time soon.

Although quite expensive, it was worth the 'luxury' given we booked for seven nights. Located near the south end of Duval St, it can be quite a walk from there to the north end. If you use the Pedo-Cab's negotiate the cost 'before' you agree to use them. They charge $7.50 for five minutes and if the traffic is heavy, the ride is slower. One young man took $30 to take us from around the middle of Duval St back to the condos. A real taxi cab would have been $6 + tip. The concierge at the front desk will fix you up with any excursions you may be interested in and was very helpful. All in all, a very peaceful and relaxing stay in Key West.
