"convenient"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 26, 2013
We enjoyed our stay here. The location is very convenient. We were able to park on the street and walked everywhere. It was nice to get back to the hotel and have such a pleasant garden area with a hottub, warm pool and cooler pool. several different sitting areas. A little oasis in the middle of town. Enjoyed talking with other visitors during the wine and cheese time.

"Good as a 2 star Hotel"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 25, 2013
We booked this hotel as a family weekend vacation to Key West in Feb. The good qualities of the Hotel: good price compared to other hotels in the area, confortable bed, nice hotel service, gives you free ride on the bus that takes you Duval st, and a discount of the restaurant next door (tried breakfast and it was really good). The bad qualities of the Hotel: The beds were double not queen, the carpet had weird stains, the pool was closed for renovations and it wasn't close from Duval st....Still if your trying to save and you dont mind driving to Duval, then this is place for you, i would have prefer a closer location where we could walk to the attractions.

""Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 25, 2013
Our stay was very enjoyable. the only concideration that i would stay somewhere else next time is the lack of a fitness center on the property. i was also dissappointed about being charged for a later checkout when the front dest acknowledged they did not hav anyone staying in the room after us and the house keeping did not usually come each day until after 3pm. We checked out at Noon. i think that is a little courtesy that could have gone a long way with me.
"Will Definitely Stay Here Again!"
This hotel is actually a condo setting. We had the 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath arrangement. It was perfect for our family of 4 that included 2 teenagers - a girl and a boy. Each child had their own bathroom and sleeping arrangements. It is close to everything - 2 blocks from the Southernmost Point and you can walk everywhere. Mallory Square is at the opposite […] end of Duval from this hotel, but within walking distance. The staff is very accommodating and eager to help with any arrangements you need, or give you directions to restaurants, shops, attractions, whatever. They never steered us wrong! The pool is small, but perfect for unwinding and having a cocktail, which is a complimentary happy hour 4:00-5:30 for wine. Ambrosia, the sushi bar on site, is wonderful. The kitchen was appointed excellently, had everything we needed, including soap, sponge, hand towels, in addition to washing powder for the washer and dryer in the condo. Stainless steel everything. Refrigerator and freezer drawers, in lieu of a traditional upright, are the perfect size for this condo. They even have a wine refrigerator! Decor is very modern and very comfortable. Even the sofa bed was comfortable according to my son. Parking is free on site and easily accessible when you need your car. I highly recommend this place! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Stop looking, this is it."
Awesome hotel with resort like feel. Highly recommended by the adults and kids. Spacious rooms and a reasonably quiet location still close to some attractions and food. Room was clean and well ordered. There is nothing we found to complain about, and we looked really hard. Will definitely stay there again on our next Key West outing.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Highly recomended"
Nice place. The staff goes out of the way to insure a great stay.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Front desk a little Rude!!!!"
It was ok. I just didnt like how the front desk was a little rude. I got a 2 bed room villa i was only staying one night. I went with my cousing that just got back from Iraq and he's never been to the keys and he always wanted to go, so i decided to take him as a surprise. When i got there i went to go check in. The front desk saw my cousing with is […] girl friend and just started to tell me oh i have to charge you for another gues plus tax I was like hold up i got a 2 bedroom villa why would i get a two bedroom villa for if i was coming alone. He was very rude!! I mean i just came in and he was already barking at me and i was only staying one night not even 24 hr!!! like come on!!!! they charged me $ 76 extra!!!! That sucks first time that ever happend!! its funny how people are he said rules are rules when i came back that night i told a different front desk agent what time the pool close he said 10 pm it was 1030 he said i know you guys are on vacation and that he hates that rule and told me if your quite you can go in. Thats a Good frontdesk!! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Perfect! Looking forward to returning!"
This hotel is great! We were as comfortable as we are at home! Great location just a few minutes from the party scene. (we wouldn't really want to be any closer) Sound proofed rooms, two pools, (one salt water) staff were so helpful and unintrusive, very comfortable beds, beautifully furnished guest suites.. Can't say enough good things about this […] place, we're really looking forward to returning, and wouldn't want to stay anywhere else to be honest. We had so much fun we need a vacation after this vacation.. :) Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

I like the place. I have stayed there before and will return again. The staff is generally helpfull. There were two issues with the room, however, it smelled of smoke and there was blood on one of the chairs.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"It doesn't get any BETTER!"
The best experience I've had at any hotel/resort! It doesn't get better than The Santa Maria Suites. The hotel was gorgeous, the room was amazing, the location was great, and the staff was exceptional(friendly/catered to our every need)!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Worst hotel ever!!!"
This hotel is a joke. My college dorm was better. We stayed in the bi-level 2 bedroom pool view suite. The living room was more like a closet, bedrooms and bathrooms are very small. Trees block the pool view.The pool is loud and full of kids. The hotel is not close to a nice beach. It's a mile and half from Malloy Square. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND […] MONEY ON THIS JIP JOINT!!!

"Great destination, outstanding facilities."
Wonderful location and outstanding value for the quality of the facilities. The room had everything that you could possibly wish for. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The on-site restaurant had excellent fish/seafood/sushi....... and Australians are rarely impressed in the seafood department. I only regret that we couldn't spend more time.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great Experience"
The staff was excellent. They had suggestions on what to see and do and were very helpful. Dereck was great. The sidewalks and pool area were mopped.Genuine Expedia guest review
All staff were very pleasant and accomadating. All was very pleasant and inviting. When we first arrived we were told to book directly with the Suites instead of using any of the ONLINE agencies because it would save us money. We ended up paying additional fees when we first checked in. They stated we made the wrong move by using ONLINE services. That […] was the ONE and only fault and of course it was upon arrival. Other than that I would highly recommend this resort. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Disappointed"
Great location. Well-appointed 2-bedroom, bilevel suite. We were comfortable, but it was quite expensive and our expectations were high. There were no king-suites available during our stay, but the layout of those is much better. The bilevel suites have queen-sized beds, narrow hallways and smaller kitchens in the back, away from the living area. The […] king-suites have a larger kitchen in a spacious living area. My main complaint is that the cleaning staff did not come into our room after Day 3. We asked for and received fresh towels on Day 5, but not a full cleaning. We never received fresh bedding.

"Great stay and will return"
Great hotel and wonderful staff. One bedroom, bedrooms are a little small and the beds could be more up to date but overall the accomodations are extremely clean and modern. The pool area is very pleasant and Derek is very accommodating. Deserves a number one rating in Key West and we will chose this hotel when we return to the area.Genuine Expedia guest review
"We loved it!"
Great location at a very convenient spot. Very nice and helpful staff. The resort is superbly equipped and maintained at a great level. We hope to be back soon.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Impressed... But could be better"
Very nice amenities , the place was cozy especially the pool area ... The hotel and the suite very clean, the happy hour and the smoothies were a nice touch plus the dove chocolate bars ... The only two things I had issues with were that first the rooms were on the small side... With a low platform bed, it was kinda tight to maneuver around and also […] the rate listed for a two bedroom suite was good for 2 people so if there are 4 people in your group, you have to pay surcharge per person on top of the resort fee per night... That was tough for me to understand... More often than not you would would have 4 people for a two bedroom suite, surcharge would be more logical if you have more than 4.... Other than that, it was a good choice of hotel... Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Santa Maria Suite in Key West"
This place was great, It was like a condo with 2 bdrms each with thier own bath. The unit we had was a 2 level, and the first level had a 1/2 bath in it with a full kitchen with all utensils and supplies. each bedroom and the living rm had 42" tv's. it was right down town off Duvall st where all the action is. pool was great I am definitely going there […] again, this time for 4 or 5 days to enjoy it.

"very nice hotel"
We enjoyed our stay very much. Rooms were clean, nice decor, enjoyed the various complimentary perks, such as wine & snacks poolside for happy hour, little ice creams in the freezer each night, chocolates on the pillows when beds were turned down. Only complaint is that the bedroom was pretty small. Overall suite was big, but for us it was somewhat […] wasted since we weren't spending too much time in the hotel. Would have preferred a smaller living room and kitchen and a bigger bedroom (had to climb over bed to get to the bathroom, for example). Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Beautiful, spacious modern apartment rooms inside Art Deco style buildings. It felt more like South Beach, Miami than Key West. It's not too crowded - only 20 or so apartments. Fantastic asian / sushi restaurant on the premises.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"" A dream vacation""
We were looking for paradise in the sun and found it!

The hotel from the outside looked older, but the rooms were stunning and made me want to stay for a week and not just a night. fabulousGenuine Expedia guest review
"Good choice for Key West"
This was a very nice hotel in a good location. It was a bit of a walk to the heart of the actio on Duval, but not too bad. Parking spots in the hotel's lot were always readily available - and much appreciated. Very close walk to the Sounthernmost Point and about 6 blocks from the Hemingway House. Our one-bedroom suite was very nice, but we were surprised […] by all of the stairs. We were on the second floor so there was a set of stairs to get to the suuite. Once inside the suite, we discovered that it was on two levels, with the bedroom/bathroom a flight of stairs up from the kitchen/livingroom/powder room - a bit of an inconvenience. The kitchen was very large, beautiful and well-equipped. We enjoyed the mini-Dove bars that were placed in the freezer every evening, as well as the daily muffin delivery and bottled water. The livingroom had a comfortable couch, two chairs and a very large flat screen TV (maybe 52"). The upper level was not quite as comfortable. The bedroom was rather small, without very much room to maneuver. The bathroom had nice decor, but there was virtually no couner space. Towels were great - large and thick. The hotel's pool area and landscaping were lovely. Free smoothies and fresh fruit all day long and free wine and snacks at happy hour by the pool were a really nice benefit. Overall, we really enjoyed the hotel and would certainly stay there again on a return visit. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

Santa Maria Suites was an extremely rewarding experience at Key West. The rooms are modern, spacious, private and confortable. The living area is cozy and the full kitchen is really fantastic.
