日落島小屋酒店(Sunset Key Cottages)

Sunset Key is heaven on earth. We come once a year and it is so relaxing and we always look forward to it. . Amazing accommodations and love the walk in pool. Such a relaxing place. Locals are so friendly. We were chatting it up with Roslyn from Finesse and she filled us in about all the great happenings on the island. Always a new experience year after year. We love this place so much we even got engaged here.

Roslyn did great pool activities.., played name that tune and earned free drinks! Sunset key had great bartenders and always willing to help…. Clarifies has amazing food Hands down the best place in key west!!!

Fabulous resort! Our Cottage was beautiful.Grounds are beautiful and well Maintained. Food and service at Latitudes was amazing. Definitely bring watershoes for the beach(we did)your feet will thank you!

What a FANTASTIC family vacation! Can’t say enough about the staff and accommodations at Sunset Key! From the moment we stepped off the boat and onto the island it was first class all the way! Jaz (island ambassador) is so personable and kind. He makes a point to make sure everyone feels special and taken care of. Jaz, made a point to find us everyday to see if we needed anything. Art the GM at Latitudes is wonderful as well! We got to know Art last year when we went to Latitudes for dinner (stayed on Key West) and he made a point to come over and catch up with us again this year! Eduardo made sure our picky eaters in the group had exactly what they wanted to eat as well! Thomas, Madee and Skip at the pool bar spoiled us as well! Jean does a nice job taking care of the pool and beach area, constantly. Sydney at the spa spoiled our almost adult girls with facials. She took the time to teach them about the proper skin care they can do at home! We had a hour of thinking we had lost a wallet and the staff in the office did everything they could to help us out! It says a lot when the staff got to know us personally and we got to know more about them and their families. If you’re concerned about having to take the boat back and forth, don’t worry. It comes and goes often enough. It does take a little planning on when to come and go, but it drops you off steps away from Duval! Zack, one of the boat captains was very nice to chat with as well, he gave good recommendations on where to go and what to see. Pool is very relaxing, great atmosphere, chill music, two hot tubs, beautiful palm trees, orchids etc. Cottages are well equipped, even with fancy coffee makers, and the goodie baskets in the mornings and evening were a nice touch! Looking forward to coming back!

We all dream about living life on an island and leaving the stress of the world behind. However, most islands have their own stresses. Not Sunset Key. That’s because Opal Resorts manages the entire island. The resort has 35 cottages and 60 private residences, mostly cottages. You can walk the island in ten minutes. Unlike Little Palm Island and so many others, both service and food are superlative. Opal managed to hire amazing staff from both Jamaica and Eastern Europe. Service is impeccable. The chefs must have come from Heaven as Latitude's restaurant delivers morning, day and night. After arriving Key West, you taxi over from their sister property, Opal Key. From there you take a five minute ferry ride. We had a two-bedroom ocean view cottage which featured three baths, nice kitchen stocked with snacks and beverages including a bottle of white and red wine. Amenities include morning basket filled with apples, fresh homemade cookies and the pastry of the day, blueberry muffins are infamous plus OJ. The evening basket includes Kilwin’s chocolates, bottled water. Note: You pay $250 daily for this. But hey, service charges are the norm and at least they deliver the goods. The resort features a free form pool and two spas; beach with full service; gym; and tiny spa (make reservations well in advance). The star of the resort is Latitude's. It’s so popular that locals take the ferry boat over to eat here (make reservations well in advance). The restaurant features a large outdoor space overlooking the ocean (no beach seating), large indoor space for bad weather and nice lounge areas. Food is amazing, fresh, and done right. Count on fresh snapper and grouper daily. Decent wine list and excellent martinis. Yes, there are kids here and they can be very loud especially on a small island like this. But at least the beach is big enough to hide from them and they eat early. Overall, an island worth hanging out for a few days in total comfy luxury. The cottages remind you of being on Nantucket with the white fences, shutters and floral.

After nonstop clouds in the Northeast, I needed a girls’ trip somewhere warm and sunny - Sunset Key fulfilled the brief and exceeded all expectations. Taras’s taxi gets you at the airport. Capt Betsy greets you on the boat. Jas makes you feel like the most special people when you arrive. We spent the full two days on the beach - blue water, full sun, drink service - and then did dinner in Key West. Chocolates come at night and breakfast pastries arrive in the morning. Simply magical. Could not recommend highly enough. Special shout outs to: Elena and Shannon in the spa, Eugeniu at Latitudes who MADE MINT TEA OUT OF MINT LEAVES for me (I was “surprised and delighted” which should be the goal in every hospitality interaction), Melvin who helped me when I locked myself out of my cottage, Tapan who served us on the beach, Capt Zach who taught us about the birds and the fish, and Andre - always keep smiling! Will be back!

Fun and relaxing! We had a great experience with yoga at sunset keys. She was a great instructor which made yoga on the beach since a memorable experience. Lucky we had great weather and a great instructor. I need 40 more characters for this review.

Sarah was a pleasure, absolutely amazing. Played games with our children and gave them prizes at the end! The kids loved her and we did too 🤍🤣

Romi joined my two youngest sons on the beach to build sand castles as part of the Sunday activities for the resort. She was super sweet and caring and spent the time playing and helping my two boys make their ideas come to life in the sand. It was nice to have them busy in the sand.
