The Reach Key West, Curio Collection by Hilton
We enjoyed a beach view and the pool was nice. They have attendants who will bring you food and drinks by the pool or beach. We had small issues (dead batteries in the remote and housekeeping missed our room one day) which were resolved very quickly. I would stay at The Reach again.
