Parrot Key Resort is the newest in Key West luxury resorts, with choices ranging from hotel rooms to suites to cottages.  Located on North Roosevelt Blvd on the Gulf side, water views offer panoramic scenes of back country bay areas and yachts moored in buoy fields.  There are several pools tucked away on the grounds, as well as a sculpture garden, something most Key West resorts can’t boast.  It’s right across the street from the Winn Dixie Plaza, where a bagel shop, grocery store, and other shopping are ultra convenient.

Cottages are huge, and the resort offers tiki hut bar and poolside dining.  There are areas where you can lay on the white sand and escape the world, and you can step off your private terrace onto the sand.  You can also book activities that start from the waterfront right outside your room, like jet ski rentals, kayaking, snorkeling and diving adventures.
