Everything was excellent. The only bad thing; which is beyond the resorts control; the seaweed. The beach was unusable for swimmers and \"oh\" the smell. Other than this, the location, amenities, service, and property were great.

My oceanfront room with a balcony was ocean view with a shared balcony! Do not pay for a balcony unless you verify it isn’t shared!
The bathroom had mold around the top of the door and the room smelt of mildew. The sargassum smell right now is terrible, so be aware.
We used the pool for a very short time one day, but to be honest, it was cloudy and didn’t look well-maintained. For the cost of our stay, I was very disappointed with our room. The location is great because you are at the southernmost point, but we couldn’t even use the private beach access, which is the only reason I booked here. I was very disappointed. Resort is right at the end of Duval street and within walking distance to everything! Key West was great, but I would stay somewhere else next time. Rooms also advertised having a Keurig, but it is NOT. It’s an off brand type coffee pod maker- just FYI.
Nice plus, there is a rental company literally across the street that I highly recommend. Very convenient when picking up and dropping off bicycles, scooters or golf carts. The girl there was super friendly and helpful! They will even pick you up from the airport and take you back- highly recommend!
Don’t rent a car- parking is outrageous and nearly impossible to find.

Enter being happy to be on vacation with my husband to arrive a front desk only to be pressured into upgrading our room, we declined and was charged anyway. We then was put in a room right outside the parking lot! I wish we had known before hand getting a room on Expedia like this. Ants all over the bed!!! They came in changed bedding but did not offer a room change or did counted rate. They did however take the upgrade charge that we did not take charge back no balcony to these parking lot rooms no beach views and as stated had an ant problem.

Staffs don’t speak English. I call from room to ask for safety box and microwave. The operator seems not to happy. She said hotel doesn’t have. Before checking out room, I found safety box was in drawer. Room is not clean. Big problem is seaweed smell is typically strongest directly on top of the rotting piles and milder. I don’t think beach is swimable. Beach is too small. Never want to come back

I didn't like that fact that they made it look like if the beach was accessible when it wasn't and the smell of that sea weed was horrible and not to mention the rooster crowing at 5:00am they have chickens all over the property those things should be mention on your website like that the customer knows what to expect

found dirty ice bucket in room and every night the ceiling fan and light would come on and stay on or flash on and off. Told the office staff two days in a row and they only wanted to give me resort credit. Not concerned at all that our nights were disrupted at midnight every night! Seems by reading Google reviews that this is happening in frequent rooms and they do nothing about it.

The room is advertised as having a balcony, this isnt true with these rooms it was the motel style walk way and only every third room had a set of chairs to sit on. the shower floor was failing and squishy kind of made you feel like you would fall through while showering. this property is large and the staff didn't notify us where breakfast was. The best part of the hotel was the bartenders at the pool area they were very professional and courteous. the pool and the drinks were great.

I loved that Southernmost Resort had direct access to the beach, 3 pools, a spa. A concierge that could connect you to any tour or restaurant recommendation to anything on the Island. You never had to leave their space if you did not want. you could opt for a quiet stay to recharge and disconnect from the world or be involved in all the fun goings on each day at the resort or steps away from shops, museums, tours. It was a perfect week away for a solo traveler looking to find a bit of respite from the world while trying some new and exciting things like snorkeling the reef, and kayaking the mangroves. Seeing dolphins, tropical fish, manatees, turtles all within an arms reach........GLORIOUS!!

Our stay at Southernmost was okay overall, but it did not fully match what we expected from the online photos. The staff was very nice and helpful, and the hotel itself was clean, which we appreciated. However, the property felt more worn and run-down in person than it appears online, and the pools were smaller than expected.

The biggest downside during our stay was the seaweed situation. The smell was very strong and unpleasant, and the beach area was closed off, which was disappointing since the beach/location is a major reason people book this property. I understand seaweed can be seasonal and outside of the hotel’s control, but it definitely affected the experience.

Overall, the service and cleanliness were positives, but the property felt a bit misleading compared with the photos online. It was not a bad stay, just not quite what we thought we were booking.

First time staying here…..good parts: food was incredible, as were the drinks. A little pricey, but very well made. Shore pool (biggest pool) was a great atmosphere. Cons: housekeeping missed multiple days and had to schedule a specific time for cleaning (which was still missed), front desk not helpful at all, charged a $65 per night amenity fee but the main amenity (private beach) was destroyed with horribly smelling rotten sargassum. Nothing noted on the resort site, nothing mentioned by the staff, beach completely unusable and the stench permeated into the beach cafe. Yes it’s a naturally occurring thing, but for the first 3 days it was piled up high on the beach before finally being removed. For a pricey resort built around its private beach, might be a good idea to let customers know the main selling point can’t be used. For a first Key West trip, we made the most of it but there is no chance we stay at this resort when we decide to return for vacation.

This is our second year back at the southernmost. The first year, the room was a lot bigger, and looked a little more updated. However, this time we were on the side by the lobby, which are older rooms it appears. The room was pretty small, but was enough for just us 2. However, ANTS! During our 3rd night out of 7, we noticed a TON of small sugar ants all over the bathroom, and front door walls. They came and sprayed twice, however did not solve the issue. Was very annoying to have yo deal with the ants, also paid $25 for a room upgrade just to be put in and older room. All in all, we love the resort just this time, wasn't as good as the last.

I had a beautiful ocean view room which seemed like it was brand new. The Cafe has great food and the pool area and bar are a great place to hang out all day. The only challenge was the unusual amount of seaweed and the beach was closed. I have been to this resort many times and it doesn’t disappoint. Very close to Duval Street but far enough away to be quiet.

First, let me say how amazing the staff was. Everyone we encountered was so friendly and helpful. The room and beds were updated and comfortable. It was nice to have 3 pool options, each with its own vibe. Unfortanitly, the sargassum was so bad, it made the beach inaccessible. The overwhelming smell was everywhere on the east side and couldn't be escaped. That's just nature and had nothing to do with the hotel; however, it would have been nice to know ahead of time. The front desk forgot to give us the free drink tickets, food credits, and a bottle of wine at check-in, so I had to go back to ask for them. The lady who assisted us with our bike and golf cart rental was a 6 out of 5. Truly the best! We would definitely come back, but would check for the sargassum before.

The property is convenient but that’s where the positives end. The property and rooms are so run down and outdated. There were rotten floors near the bathroom with exposed screws in the floor. Several drawers were wonky and hard to shut. There were several ants in the bathroom, the a/c is not central so it wasn’t very cold. The roosters started crowing at 4 a.m. every day and only stopped from 8 pm to 4 a.m. The pools were cloudy so we never got in. We paid over 1,000 dollars for 2 nights in a basic room. We would not recommend and will not stay there ever again.

We had a great time at Southernmost. Would absolutely stay again. Room was perfect size, bed was very comfortable and clean. 3 pools at the resort were all very nice and the pool bars not over crowded and drinks were delicious. Very good location. Tons of good restaurants and bars within walking distance. Beach was nice but we stayed in June and the seaweed was awful. This is to be expected for this time of year, so I would suggest not going in June. The resort is close enough to everything but also on the quieter end of the island which was nice at night. Can not say enough good things about this resort, worth every penny!

Disappointing that the breakfasts were not included as per their website. Found upon arrival that you had to be staying in the \"Guest House\" to get the free breakfast. $65.00 per day resort fees seems exorbitant as did the $50.00 per night to park our golf cart. Had a ceiling fan malfunction that we had to address with the front desk four different times. Hotel was nice but these issues would give us pause to stay there ever again.

This resort is a mix of several bed and breakfasts. We were in the Avalon which was very hard to find. Had to ask several staff members where it was and finally got someone to escort us. The king room was just that a king bed. No space to walk around the bed, no space for luggage. It felt like an inside cabin on a cruise ship. No where to sit other than the bed. Bathroom really small. We would guess that if assigned to another building or room style we might have enjoyed it more. It was convenient for the trolley and the breakfast served was great. The cafe on the beach was sub par food. I wouldn’t recommend it.

No direct beach access and also lie/deceive about “beach views” from room. We paid for an “ocean view” which turned into a street view that was a 1.5 mile walk to the closest usable beach. The staff were all rude, excluding a few bartenders. In addition to terrible service and lying about views, the whole resort smelled and was inconveniently set up. Our lights/fan in our room would turn on and off randomly. During the check in process, they charged a non-disclosed $1,000 “deposit” which was just a scam to get me to pay extra at their overpriced bars and terrible (in both quality of food and service) restaurant. The Keys are filled with wonderful people and beautiful views, but those people and views are not located on the Southernmost Beach Resort. DO NOT STAY YOURE BETTER OFF AT A MOTEL/ CHAIN LOCATION.

The room and staff were excellent. I guess the bad part of coming this time of the year is the beaches were covered in seaweed that smelled terrible!

The property covers a few blocks so plan to walk. Overall the property and rooms were clean and gave you the tropical vibe. Key West has a seaweed season so plan accordingly. We couldn’t access the ocean from any of the beaches because of the abundance of seaweed. Oh, and the smell was, yuck! However, the Shore pool at the Southernmost Resort was great!

★★☆☆☆ 2/5 Stars

Southernmost Beach Resort is located in a beautiful part of Key West, and we arrived looking forward to a relaxing beachfront getaway. Unfortunately, the experience did not live up to the premium price.

First, the costs add up quickly. In addition to an already expensive nightly room rate, guests are charged a $50-per-night parking fee along with daily resort fees. At these prices, expectations are understandably high.

The biggest disappointment was the beach. During our stay, the shoreline was covered with large amounts of seaweed/seagrass, creating an overwhelming odor that made spending time on the beach unpleasant. The smell was so strong at times that it reminded us of being near a septic system issue. We understand that Mother Nature cannot be controlled, but guests should be notified when beach conditions significantly impact the property’s main attraction. The beach was essentially unusable during our visit, yet there was no advance warning, accommodation, or adjustment offered.

The room itself was also disappointing. It had a musty, damp smell that suggested ongoing moisture or mold issues, and the air-conditioning system did little to improve the situation. For a resort charging premium rates, the accommodations felt tired and in need of better maintenance and attention to detail.

Food and beverage prices were also extremely high, even by Key West standards. While some markup is expected at resort properties, the pricing made worse

This is a beautiful property that is close to everything. The staff was great. In June, do not pay extra to stay here just because of the beach access. The beach is completely unusable due to the extreme amounts of seaweed and its smell. The pool fills up so quickly that you cannot get a chair. Great resort but don’t book it for the beach access. Resort fees are steep for not being able to get pool chairs-bars near pool are fun.

Overall our stay was nice. We loved the shores pool, and paid extra for ocean view and balcony, which was ruined by the sargassum(out of resorts control of course). Also the balcony was not a private balcony attached to our room, it was just an extension off the walk way open to anyone really, so that part is kind of deceiving. Also, not like a huge deal, but we are huge sports fans and we were trying to watch the FiFa and basketball championships game, and there was no cable. Called to try and have it fixed, and they came and fixed it, but there was no directory and there were only 10 channels available, not nba championship game channel. And you had to shuffle through the 100 channels to find random channel that worked. (Again, not a huge deal breaker, but for price, should function) There was also, black mold in the bathroom. I called and alerted front desk twice, they did not seem to care. I had a “vip package” and was supposed to have a late checkout @1pm, and they told me no, that even though that was apart of my package I still was supposed to to call and request it. I did like how close the resort was too a lot of things, and walking distance to good breakfast place frenchies cafe(great coffee)!
And the resort fee being $70/day is for what?

Thankfully we were on the upper level, somewhat in the courtyard surrounding the Pineapple pool because the roaming roosters are not tame and they have no shame in starting to rouse the guests unreasonably early in the AM. The fowl are quite native to the area and are protected. We didn’t hear anything from our room but friends of ours were quite annoyed by these guys every morning! The landscaping here was really pretty, too.

Also out of the control of the resort itself was the influx of seaweed/sea grass that migrates its way onto the shoreline, especially on the Atlantic side of the island. This truly made the odor intolerable for me personally as I was not able to enjoy any of the amenities on that side of the resort during this visit. We found out that this happens every year desiring the summer months so it was not isolated to our visit.

I would definitely visit again, requesting a room near the location we were in this time! Also, guests should know that they resort holds a $1000 amount for incidentals at the time of check-in. We were not advised of this prior to arrival and would have planned a bit differently if we had.

I was disappointed with my stay at Southernmost Resort. The smell from the seaweed along the beach was overwhelming and made it difficult to enjoy the outdoor areas. Unfortunately, the beach was not usable during our visit because of the conditions and time of year.

I also noticed housekeeping staff frequently standing in supply rooms on their phones rather than actively working, which did not leave a great impression. Parking is not included with your stay and comes at an additional cost, which was an unwelcome surprise. On top of that, both the food and drinks on the property were very expensive for what was offered.

The location is great, but between the beach conditions, extra fees, and service concerns, the overall experience did not meet my expectations.

Stinky sea grass was the biggest reason for the less than 5 stars. Check in was okay, pool was very nice, use of pier was nice and rooms were clean.

Room we booked was very musty causing us to upgrade for a total cost of $50 a night plus fees. Staff suggested the upgrade before we even saw and smelled the room. I have a compromised immune system making the upgrade a medical necessity.

The property is dated. The rooms were small and old. The so-called balconies were not in the rooms, they were common for all.
The pool bar closed at 7, the main bar closed at 9. Sometimes there were no towels at the pool and the number of chairs were limited.

We were expecting a more high end stay but it felt more like a teenager spring break vibes. We stayed at Margaritaville before and prefer that over this place. When we got off our plane at Margaritaville early, before check in time it was no problem to get us right to our room but at Southernmost Point we had to wait all day, until 4, they gave some people that waited extra perks but we weren’t offered anything. Our tv internet didn’t work and they told us they would send someone to fix it and they never did. Every morning at 7am maintenance started drilling and using loud power tools. It just wasn’t the experience we’ve had at other hotels in Key West. It was a disappointment for us. We choose this hotel because of the beach access and while I understand the seaweed season is not their fault there was zero attempts to clean up the beach area so it felt like such a waste of money. They had huge piles of old seaweed from what looked like an attempt to clean the beach area but those piles were old and very stinky. The whole property smells like rotting fish.

Our stay had some positives, but overall there were several disappointing aspects that impacted our experience.The rooms were clean and well-maintained, and the staff was generally friendly. The WiFi never worked in our room, which made it difficult to check in with our planned excursions and stay connected during our trip. A staff member reached out and assured us they were working on the issue, but unfortunately nothing was ever resolved.We were also surprised by the additional costs. The resort fees seemed excessive, and the $50-per-day parking charge felt especially high. One of the more concerning incidents occurred while we were enjoying drinks at the pool bar. I stepped on a piece of glass and punctured my heel badly enough that it bled significantly. The bartender told us our drinks would be comped because of the incident, but when the bill arrived, they were not. A manager did check to see if I was okay, but no medical supplies or assistance were offered. Another area where the resort could be more transparent is regarding the beach access. The public beach was completely covered with sargassum to the point that reaching the water was nearly impossible. The so-called private beach was simply a narrow strip of sand at the edge of the resort with no actual water access. While the clean rooms and courteous staff were appreciated, the unresolved WiFi issues, high fees, handling of the pool-bar incident, and misleading beach expectations left us disappointed overall.

We had a wonderful stay at Southernmost in Key West. The room was
Cool and comfortable and we had a beautiful view of the ocean. The staff were all very helpful and kind. The only negative of the property would be how spread out it is-it was fine for us but may be difficult for someone with mobility issues. The location was awesome-close to all of the fun Duval st activities. Roxana was very helpful. The pools Were lively and well-maintained with fun activities available. The cafe had great food and all the waitstaff were terrific.

Very nice resort. Our 2 queen with ocean view balcony room was spacious and the beds were comfortable with a variety of pillows to choose from. The bathroom was large, robes were provided and the balcony had comfortable chairs. The onsite restaurant had really good food and the various pools and bars had everything necessary to make for an enjoyable day at the pool or on the beach. Easy check in and check out. Would stay here again!
