This casual resort is located three miles from the museums and boisterous streets of Old Town, and provides easy access to water sports at the popular Smathers Beach.

Guests travel to and from downtown Key West via hourly shuttles, or relax by the pool with complimentary lemonade, using portable CD players provided by the hotel.

The 180 two-room suites offer Sheraton Sweet Sleeper Beds, sofa beds, wet bars, microwaves, dial-up Internet access, voice mail, two TVs, and Nintendo video-game consoles.

Located on the quiet side of Key West, the hotel is popular with families and vacationers seeking a casual beach resort a bit removed from the noisy streets of Old Town. Whimsical lobby decorations such as ceramic lizards exemplify the pastel-colored resort's lighthearted, casual spirit. Family friendly features include a playground in a garden courtyard.

Within the resort's central garden courtyard, a small rock waterfall splashes into a freeform pool. Secluded behind the waterfall, a spa tub accommodates eight people. Padded lounge chairs and complimentary lemonade invite sunbathers, and the Sheraton's daily resort fee covers use of portable CD players at the pool. Smathers Beach, across the street, offers water sports rentals, volleyball, and parasailing (fees apply).

Two-seater, open-air electric cars can be rented at the resort for tootling to attractions and waterfront sunset rituals downtown, all within 3 miles.
