A wonderful four-night stay. ...

A wonderful four-night stay. Gracious and service oriented staff, privacy and serenity even though 20 steps from the pool area and bar, beautifully designed and decorated rooms, great bathrooms and more. Parking onsite with power for rented golf carts & EVs. Excellent location. Service, service, and more service. Nice upscale Italian dining attached. Food market, bars, and waterfront within an easy walking distance Will go again.

We had a wonderful stay at Santa Maria Suites 06/06-06/07/2026. The hotel is beautiful, clean, and very well maintained. The staff was friendly and welcoming throughout our visit. A special thank you to Azul at the front desk. She went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Her professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail truly stood out. She was always ready to help with a smile and made us feel genuinely welcomed. Thank you, Azul, for your excellent service! We look forward to returning.

I can’t recommend this ...

I can’t recommend this place enough to stay if you’re visiting Key West. The rooms were all suites centered around a great pool but the location of the resort was incredible. Walking distance to everywhere you want to visit in Key West. The staff was incredible and we couldn’t have had a better time staying here

We had a great ...

We had a great experience at the Santa Maria Suites Resort! The resort is conveniently situated near great restaurants like Banana Cafe and the Seaside Cafe at the Southernmost Mansion, with easy street parking nearby to help you get settled, as well as a hotel parking lot (although we did not use it because it is expensive). The hotel features two pools, with lounge chairs surrounding them. There are always some lounge chairs to go around. Our room was up a flight of stairs and was very well-appointed: we were upgraded from queen to king beds and we enjoyed the ice cream bars that our room was restocked with each day. The room was clean and featured a fridge, freezer, microwave, and oven. The rooms all had fans that could be controlled with switches to modulate their speeds. There was also a restaurant at the hotel, Onlywood. We didn't try it, but it looked nice. There is bike parking at the back of the hotel parking lot. The pool also has free frozen drinks and chips, (strawberry-mango slush and frozen lemonade) and you have access to the beach at the hotel next door (although when we were there, it was covered with seaweed). Overall, although it is on the higher end price-wise, I would definitely recommend Santa Maria Suites for anyone looking for a fun and relaxing Key West experience!
