La Villa Resort

I made a last minute reservation for a one night stay for a business meeting. I was flying in at the last minute and didn't know what to expect. The staff was very, very helpful in leaving a key in a lock box for my late night arrival. My room was the Key West room right next to the office and was recently remodeled. This is a old mom and pop hotel and the room was unconventional in layout. Lovely and huge living, kitchenette, walk in bathroom and shower and TV. Very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable and the whole place was spotless. The beach is about 300 steps away. Just a quick walk through the parking lot, over a small footbridge, through the trees and there you are on the beach!. There is one downside to my room, that is its on the corner of the building and close to the road and can be noisy with traffic in the morning. However there are plenty of other rooms that would be much quieter. The owners just bought the facility last month and clearly care about guest experience. I paid about $220 for the night and was the most inexpensive room I could find with a decent review. The La Villa FAR exceeded my expectations plus I was just steps from the gulf in the morning.

We stayed at La Villa this week and we were pleasantly surprised. Hotel is under new management and is much much better than the last few years we had visited. Rooms are huge, but now they are professionally clean. Location is amazing , few feet from the beach and few minutes from the main island attractions that’s why we came back. Seems new management really try to turn this hotel around, and we are seeing the difference already. We will be back next year!
