We loved this place for its charm and unique character- surrounded by beautiful vegetation and trees providing quiet. Breakfast was made to order each day, with a new item on the menu. Diana the manager, was a wonderful host and helped arrange a wonderful on site professional massage with a great service provider. Everything in Key West old town is just a 10 minute walk away.
Wonderful stunning hotel! This is a real gem. Fantastic warm and friendly staff who were very welcoming. Very impressive room which was clean and tidy. Cooked breakfast's were perfect. Lovely grounds to relax in and only 5min walk to Duval Street. Very highly recommended!
The property is very well kept and beautiful. Staff are also very attentive and nice. My only issue is that there was an intermittent vibration, that would last ~15 seconds and then stop, which would shake the property enough that you could hear it while in bed. This would happen about every 3-5 minutes. Otherwise an excellent property.
We had a wonderful stay at The Mermaid & Alligator. The room was well appointed and bed very comfortable. Plenty of fresh fluffy towels and great shower.
Breakfast was freshly made and very tasty. Refreshments were readily available to guests at all times.
Breakfast was amazing, the property was cute, and we loved the Papaya Room. We survived not having a tv - but that was kind of strange. This is in a great location to walk to the points of interest.
A wonderful place. Highly recommend staying here My wife and I would stay there again an again. Beautiful courtyard. Hot tub was nice for an end of day relaxation. Breakfast was great and fresh. Would tell my friends to stay here.
Very beautiful and welcoming. Quiet and restful but close to Duval. Would suggest to exchange hot tub for cool water. Missed not having tv in my room. Freshly prepared beakfast with different daily choices was wonderful. I recommend this beautiful b&b.
This was a beautiful property. Loved the tropical grounds, the treats and drinks in the kitchen and the breakfast and breakfast service. We arrived early and were allowed to check in early and allowed to leave our bags after checkout until we left for the ferry.
