Parrot Key Hotel & Villas - Key West

Forbes Best Key West Hotel for Families with four heated pools and complimentary shuttle

Dining

Meals are served at The Grove Kitchen & Bar, which focuses on local flavors and island favorites. Starting September 2026, the restaurant will close for renovations, and guests can eat from The Grove Food Truck instead, offering easygoing island cuisine all day. A mobile pool bar will deliver refreshing drinks directly to guests lounging by the pools during the renovation period.

Pools & Recreation

The hotel has four distinct pool areas, each with different vibes, including a dedicated adult-only pool for quiet relaxation. Guests can use complimentary sun loungers, umbrellas, and pool towels at all pools, plus swimming pool toys and heated pools for year-round enjoyment. Additional recreation includes bicycle rentals, canoeing, and water sport facilities on site, as well as evening entertainment and happy hour at the pool bar.

Rooms & Villas

Accommodations range from spacious suites to waterfront villas that offer expansive views of the Gulf of Mexico. Villas come with private white-sand terraces and tropical garden views, while all rooms have private balconies overlooking either lush gardens or the water. The Parrot Key Hotel & Villas Key West also provides valet parking and electric vehicle charging stations for every guest.

Family & Children

The resort was named the Best Key West Hotel for Families by Forbes, thanks to its family-friendly layout and amenities. Children have access to board games and puzzles, plus the four pools include family-friendly areas with shallow zones. A complimentary shuttle service runs to Duval Street and Smathers Beach, making it easy for families to explore without a car.
