Set in Key West's old town area, the Opal Key Resort & Marina offers a central waterfront location with an outdoor heated pool and hot tub. The Key West Aquarium is next to the hotel. Each room features a cable TV, work desk, hairdryer, and ironing facilities. Guests can use on-site amenities, including a business center, fitness center, and access to water-sports facilities. Bistro 245 serves American fare for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, while Castaways Pool Bar offers light poolside dining options. Historic Duval Street is about a 6-minute walk away, providing access to the local scene, and guests will find themselves opposite the Mel Fisher Maritime Heritage Society & Museum.
This is a waterfront resort in Key West's old town, which is a rarer combination than it sounds: you get a marina and heated pool while still being about a six-minute walk from Duval Street. That makes it a middle path between a car-dependent resort out on the water and a small in-town inn. The Key West Aquarium sits next door and a maritime museum is directly opposite, so there is plenty within a short stroll.
It suits travelers who want resort amenities, a business and fitness center, and water-sports access but do not want to give up walkability to the historic core and its after-dark scene. Dining runs from a full-service American bistro to poolside bites, so you can stay put or wander. Couples, families, and groups all fit here; the pull is the central waterfront position rather than a quiet, tucked-away feel.
