2 Couples, One Room.... ...

2 Couples, One Room.... Santa Maria Was a Hidden Gem. Our trip took 25 yrs. to plan: A quick trip to celebrate 25 yrs. of marriage. Santa Maria turned out to be exactly the kind of find you hope for when you pivot locations. Location is unbeatable. $8 from the airport. Everything is walkable, so It doesn't get more dialed in than that. The staff made it. The woman at the front desk was genuinely fantastic; warm, helpful, and on it. Cleaning staff were the same way: whatever you needed, whenever you needed it. No fuss, no waiting. Room 15 was our home base; two king beds (in separate rooms), a full kitchen, living room, and a balcony that we basically lived on. The beds deserve their own mention: honestly the best vacation sleep any of us can remember. The shower pressure was strong (a small thing that matters more than people admit), and the WiFi actually worked like WiFi should. The pool area never felt crowded; plenty of space and seating, which is rarer than it should be. The bar was a nice bonus; free wine from 4–6 with small bites. A great way to decompress before dinner. We did buy some drinks but they didn't mind us bringing our own. And the neighborhood? Right across the street, Anna's Café is a straight 5 star for coffee and lunch. Diagonal from that, the Tipsy Rooster for drinks; also 5 stars.

We just completed our fourth stay. We've always stayed with kids. The rooms are very nice and we really appreciate the space. They are in a great location to move around Key West.

Our family visited Key ...

Our family visited Key West and had a nice stay at the Santa Maria Suites Resort. We enjoyed our stay and the tranquility of the property. The front desk staff were helpful and friendly. The pool was well maintained and relaxing. The little bonus options like free wine, slushies, treats in the room were a nice touch. Walkable to Southermost beach where there were chairs and towels available as part of your stay. We rented bikes during out stay and there was a bike rack in the parking lot we could use. Location was perfect for getting to all the traditional Key West sites. We did have to call each day to have our suite serviced, which they happily came to do, but we were surprised that we had to make the call. Additionally, it would be nice if there was a restriction on guests smoking on the balcony facing the pool area as multiple times during our stay the neighboring suite tenants would come out and smoke when we were out on our balcony even if they saw that our children were out there. It ruined the peacefulness outside and it would be nice to require guests to smoke on the outer balcony instead. Be mindful that the bathrooms are pretty small and the layout on the eating area of the kitchen of the bi-levels is a little tight. Overall we enjoyed stay and would consider the Santa Maria again in the future.
