There are so many islands making up the Keys that there is a huge range of choice when it comes to choosing the best hotels in the Florida Keys, from romantic, historic B&Bs to big modern hotels and secluded tropical resorts. Around 113 islands make up the famously flat, subtropical archipelago, some of them linked by the equally famous Overseas Highway. Eccentric and eclectic Key West, diving mecca Key Largo and Big Pine Key, which is where the Key Deer reside, are probably the best known. But we also rate Islamorada, a pretty stretch where you'll find a number of luxury resort style hotels and Marathon, which is an excellent base for families. Use our guide to the best hotels in the Florida Keys and start planning your tropical getaway!
