First and foremost, we were welcomed by the lovely Olga (receptionist) who was highly attentive and detail oriented. She made us feel like VIP guests! She showed us around the property and then to our room. Everything was pristine and serene. We felt right at home immediately! Amenities: Beautiful, serene, modern, clean. The hotel offers free sunscreen, water, snacks & drinks, happy hour, coolers, and beach towels! Everything you could possibly need or want, they've thought of. Breakfast: Different menu options each day and it's made to order for you once you take your seat in the lovely, lush garden. Ana and Anielka were on staff in the kitchen and were very kind and quick to make our food. The ingredients were fresh with lots of yummy fruit options! Location: 10-20 minute drive or walk to downtown. Super convenient access to Duval street. We left our car parked the day we checked in and didn't use it the entire time we were there.

The property is located close to Duval Street, but far enough away to be outwith the hustle and bustle. We had the Caribbean King room and it was beautiful, with a great wrap around balcony. The property is located on the corner of Truman Avenue, which while busy with traffic during the day, is not an issue. The garden area is a bit of a sanctuary and is a lovely spot to have breakfast in the morning. It’s around a 5 minute walk to Duval Street, so very well positioned. Breakfast was excellent, with lots of fresh fruit, coffee and cereal etc. The staff are all excellent and do all they can to make your stay pleasant.

The Mermaid and Alligator is a magical place. The home is warm but spacious and meticulously maintained. The staff is friendly and the breakfasts are superb. Everything is done with care, no detail is missed here. We stayed in one of the 3 rooms in the cottage and my parents were in the other. We shared a porch which was lovely. I love the cottage for the outdoor space. The home also has beautiful gardens--lush and tropical and well cared for. Loved that it was adult only--which contributed to a very chill vibe. This was our first stay--and we will be back!

This property is a beautiful cozy couples retreat. The pool area is nicely landscaped with all tropical plants and there is a nice outside sitting area for breakfast or relaxing. The rooms are clean and every employee we met was extremely friendly and hospitable. They had the best free breakfast of anywhere Ive ever stayed and the staff custom makes each meal and serves it to the guests. The price of the rooms I thought were inexpensive for the area and cheaper than other properties that aren’t as nice. I would definitely go back.

We wanted an old world Key West feel and we surely got it! Everything was perfect from the moment we arrived. The manager/staff were so courteous and helpful. Cleanliness and amenities were A+, breakfast was delicious and decor and vibe could not have been better. We stayed in the bamboo bungalow which I HIGHLY recommend for couples! The only negative thing was that we had to leave this wonderful B&B. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
