Pros and Highlights of Our Key West Reach Hotel Stay

Unparalleled Proximity to Key West's Heartbeat

Hilton’s Curio Collection Reach Resort is ideally located, only two blocks from lively Duval Street in Key West. Positioned for convenience, The Reach makes it easy for you to walk to the main attractions in the heart of the action.

True Relaxation by the Shore

Relax on a beach chair and enjoy the calming waves. Want a drink? Press a button on your beach umbrella, and a beach attendant will bring you a refreshing beverage.

Elegance Redefined: Upscale Resort Pool and Grounds

We experience sophistication at The Key West Reach Hotel. Enjoy the beautiful pool and grounds for a luxurious and tranquil escape.

Room Assignment Reflection: Our Experience in Room 356

For a better Key West Beach Resort experience, approach it like an investigator. We got room 356, accessible through the parking garage. It meant a relaxed walk along a winding path to the back of the place.

Mixed Views: Balcony and Guestroom Our balcony offered views of parked cars and a not-so-great dumpster. The guestroom was neat but more basic than luxurious, which felt off considering the price we paid for our stay.

A Candid Look at Resort Staff Interactions

The staff at The Curio by Hilton Reach weren’t openly rude, but there was a sense of detachment. Steve and I enjoy laughter and casual chats, but the atmosphere at this fancy resort felt more formal, lacking the warmth we expected.

Final Verdict on The Reach Key West Hotel

In conclusion, Steve and I appreciated the well-placed Key West, FL Reach Resort from Hilton’s Curio Collection. The outdoor areas and beach exceeded expectations, and accessing amenities at the Casa Marina property enhanced our stay.

However, our guest room experience wasn’t as expected. Before booking, check room views to match your preferences. The staff was satisfactory, but no one stood out as exceptionally friendly. This post reflects my authentic evaluation of the Florida Key West Reach Resort.

My Personal Recommendation
