Where to stay in Key Largo

[FritzCat66]

If you have a camper or don't mind car camping, John Pennekamp State Park meets all the needs you describe, including beach access and plenty of snorkelling.

We like the suites of Key largo (key west inn). They are right in the marina. It's not the nicest place but they do have some benefits like kitchens, two bathrooms, upstairs room with bathroom, downstairs sofa makes into a bed and has it's own bathroom. Each unit has a screen porch that overlooks the marina and is a perfect place to dry your gear before you pack it up and head home. We always seem to pay 99$ per night and if someone doesn't mind sleeping on the sofa-bed it can be half that. Again, these are not the nicest places but they are clean and the screen porch for gear makes this place my favorite in Key Largo. Almost forgot, the units are elevated and there is parking underneath, helps keep the car a little cooler in the FL head.

I just have to give a shout out to Jeff owner of the HMS Minnow in Key Largo. The Minnow is a 26' parker setup for a six pack. He is usually first out of the Marina in the morning so you get your choice of balls. The parker has a fin ladder in case you prefer those. Two tank dives with weight run 80$ and NOX is another 9$ per bottle. I have done over 30 dives with Jeff in the past two years and would not consider going out with anyone else. The main reason I bring this up is Jeff has special rates with the Key West Inn.

FYI, I've stayed here a couple of times. Some of the dive shops can get you their "special" rate of $99/night. I found a coupon in one of the booklets available at the Florida Welcome Center on the drive down for $89/night.

If you're driving down, it might be worth a stop for some free OJ and the coupon.

I would have to agree with this whole entire post, especially Jeff and the HMS Minnow, awesome time diving with him

I stayed here last weekend and had a good experience. It is clean and comfortable but is not the ritz: I think it is a reasonable value. The hotel is on the bay side and you can walk out on or sit on small jetties and there is sandy area where you can sit in a beach chair. Note that the sand area ends at a sea wall that is a few feet high (above the water). The ground does not slope to the water like a regular beach (which is true at a lot of places in Key Largo). Beautiful sunsets though.

Key Largo Hotels, Hotel in key largo, Bayside Inn Key Largo

I've stayed at Bayside before and it was nice. Rooms were basic, but clean and the AC worked great.

Sunsets were awesome there.

This was taken there a couple years ago.

We love the Holiday Inn's pool and ammenities. Rooms are clean and comfortable.

Stayed here also. I was very happy with it. Standard issue Holiday Inn, but was nice and clean and had a nice pool with Tiki Bar. Dive boats in the marina just feet next door. Got a room for $89 and $99 a nite.

I second the Bayside Inn and the sunsets!!! I stayed there in January and enjoy it. Sucks that Snooks is gone though. :depressed:

I've been to Snooks about 3-4 times. Snooks "sucked" the times we went. Food was OK, but not great. But service SUCKED. lots of screwed up orders.

The only reason we went was we were staying in Bayside and it was a great place to go watch the sunset next door and have a cold beer.

I've stayed at the "Key West Inn" in Key largo a couple of times with friends. We liked it because it has a master BR/bath upstairs and then a sleeper couch downstairs and they also give free rollaways. Also has a full kitchen. So we packed 5 people in one of those rooms and its only $99/night. Most dive shops can get you this rate..I think I dove with silent world and also atlantis dive charters and they both got me that $99/night rate. The hotel isn't the nicest most modern one but was fine for crashing at after a days diving.
