    I booked this Bed and Breakfast after a long research and after reading every review. I was nervous about what should expect. This place surprised me in every way. We arrived to the easiest check in process. The lady at the desk was kind, helpful, and fast. She showed us the gate, facilities, and told us that if we parked in one of the four spots on the property, we could stay there (we did). We choose our own door code. My boo and I booked room 110, the second floor, overlooking the pool. This is a super clean, super quiet friendly place. The best, in the middle of everything! Short walking distance to everywhere in the island. Also, a convenient 2 minute walk to a market, which combine with the provided mini-fridge (not so small) and microwave is the perfect combination! We bought beers, of course. They also have a Keurig with k-cups. Excellent place, quiet, serene, can't beat the proximity to bars, restaurants, shops, museums. Super clean, spacious room with a desk, chairs, a safe and ta big shower. Even the hot and cold breakfast was superb. Their Coffee is good!

    A/C really close to the bed.

    This b&b is very conveniently located near Duval street and all the old town points of interest. Yet it is in a surprisingly quiet and calm neighborhood. The checkin procedure was very easy and we were lucky to find a parking spot. It cost $25 a day to park, Key West is expensive and not car friendly. However, there is definitely not enough readily available parking here. The room was kept very clean and the pools were lovely. The poolside breakfast, included in the room price, was similar to other hotel breakfasts, and ok except for the last day when only strawberry banana yogurt was available and the only muffin type was chocolate. We stayed in the Sailfish Suite in the Annex, which is a separate building across the street from the hotel office. The king bed was comfortable and the shower very nice. However, you can hear people walking on the floors upstairs, and one night there were people in the pool near our bedroom whooping it up at 1:30 AM, and another night 3 AM, which woke us up. There is no one to call at the hotel desk at that hour, it is not staffed overnight. They advertise that there is quiet time after 10 PM but this is clearly not enforced and puts a damper on your experience. The tvs in the room were fine, but on the small side for the size of the room. The chair and couch cushions were flat and not very comfortable. The floor in the bedroom slants downhill to such an extent that your suitcase will roll down it. This made it difficult to walk on, especially getting up at night to use the bathroom. The bedroom air conditioner is in the window literally 2 feet from the bed and can also wake you up when it clicks on at night. The coffee maker, microwave and fridge were all fine. You have to figure out how to use the remote controls for the ceiling fan and cooling element, which is challenging. No one tells you this when checking in. So this place has its good and bad points. I honestly expected a more well appointed, better kept b&b for the price and location.

    Loved this spot! The staff has been wonderful here and the rooms although not brand new were totally perfect! Such a comfortable vibe, I love the wall of Windows and blinds. We will definitely be returning if not for the room, just to see Lee the front desk help. She is AMAZING! Any hotel would be lucky to have her greet their guests, we felt welcomed immediately, love her!!

    I really like the street and section where the Ambrosia is located - it is a nice quiet area, but close walking distance to everything in Key West (KW is very walkable in general). The staff here is friendly and accommodating (Lexi rocks!), they give you free parking for your car, the beds in the room are very comfortable and they have 2 pools and hot tub for you to enjoy. Oh, did I forget to mention they provide a full breakfast every morning included in the price of your room! For us personally there are a couple of drawbacks (The only reasons I knocked off a star) - the lower level pool room we stayed in was quite noisy. You could hear every foot step and thunk from the room above, which luckily was minimal. The room we stayed in had a window AC that provided some white noise to mask outside sounds. The other is this is a pet and family friendly place meaning you will probably have young kids playing, screaming and splashing in the pools. At times there were kids toys and junk all around the one heated pool. The pets are usually better behaved, but it may be an allergy concern for some (The rooms are kept very clean though!). The breakfast is basically the same every morning and it has a good variety (see pics). If you are an early riser you will have to wait until 8:30am to eat. They keep all the items in the gazebo fully stocked so you will eat well. Delicious fresh fruit and decent coffee! The staff is great - we were able to borrow some lightweight beach chairs to take with us to the various beaches which helped saved on chair rentals. They have filtered water and plenty of ice. The grounds are kept quite clean in general, but you may have to scoop out some leaves from the pool midday because of all the surrounding greenery. The pool room 107 was quite comfortable. I especially liked the large walk in shower with good water pressure. The toilet seemed a little unstable - it would shift slightly if you sat on it, but it was minor. It was nicely decorated, not high end furniture, but quite appropriate for Key West. In general all the positives outweigh the negatives of this place. I also have to say our 2nd visit to Keys was just excellent and probably better than our first! The Ambrosia with its laissez faire attitude, clean, comfortable rooms, awesome staff, and great location was a big reason of why we enjoyed our times in the Keys so much!

    This is a B&B comprised of Several Older (Made Modern) Colonial Style Houses with Wrap around Balconies. Some of the rooms featured Huge 10-12 ft ceilings, some suites had 2 levels. We stayed in the Honeymoon Suite. Our room was a two room suite. First room as you enter the suite has a huge California King size canopy bed. With delicate, flowing white linens wrapped around the canopy. (Gorgeous!) There's Big fluffy white bedding to top it off. It was comfy just to look at it! We had a ginormous jacuzzi tub, and a two man shower. Our suite included a full wrap around balcony with stunning views all the way around. A Gorgeous Suite - Very romantic. The room included a personal Keurig machine with tons of flavors to choose from. Every Morning there is a delicious breakfast buffet. Tons to choose from, Included with your stay. Every afternoon they put out snacks (chips or cookies) and drinks. (Teas and soda. All of this is also included.

    Very cute place to stay and walking distance from Duvall and other attractions. Be sure you know where your room is. Our room was on the bottom facing the courtyard. It can get loud with the people coming back from Duvall at all hours and people swimming. The whole wall is windows with blind and could feel like you have a little less privacy. The breakfast , which is included, was very nice , just enough to start your day and very well done. Overall the rooms had everything we needed and very clean.

    Just returned from our third stay at Ambrosia. It's a quaint little B&B just two blocks off of Duval (the end of Duval where you are gonna spend all your time!). We love the atmosphere there. The grounds are lush and tropical and the staff is very friendly and helpful. We try to get a poolside room since we always end up in the pool after a night out. Not a lot of rules here . . . you can go in the pool any time and bring your beverages poolside. We even brought our doggies poolside. YES, this is a pet friendly establishment!! Beautiful setting, great location, breakfast included, helpful staff and fair prices. What more could you want?

    Lovely four-poster King bed & nice bathroom

    See all

    Giving a solid 4 stars. Honestly its much easier to list what could be improved. And considering…read morethis environment, I can only think of a couple. 1. Hot Tin Roof Restaurant. The breakfasts for the price taste dismal and lower quantity. 2 eggs bacon, toast, and chopped potatoes a bit over $20 as most other dishes plus smaller sizes if you just want a donut or similar. The vibe I get is for breakfast this place is for guests who have a hotel package that includes free breakfasts. They also charge a 18% mandatory "service charge" and of course another line for the tip. We didn't do dinner here. I hope its better than the breakfast. 2. We booked under The Edge Chase Sapphire Reserve so its $100 property credit and free breakfasts for 2. When you consider "service charges" tips, taxes, and determine what the credit can be used for, it becomes a bit confusing. I know for a fact that laundry is not included, neither is the $50/day valet parking. Sort of an resort advantage to keep the guest guessing. Drinks food, spa i know are included with the $100. The valet guy was cool and informative. Considering the small island size and the cost of everything, this was a great stay. The room and balcony overlooking Malery Square plus the ocean and Sunset Island were fantastic. I have stayed at many locations over the years and this was by far the best. Pegasus on Duval is a dump. Both Hyatts are nice but on east side of the island so transportation becomes an issue. Do you really want to drive close to Duvall....if you can find a space, then pay for parking? This place is 2 blocks from Sloppy Joe's, Hogsbreath, next to Malerly Square and sunset pier. Walking distance to the hot spots at night.

Rooms are nicely decorated but not what you expect for $1000 a night. They are way over priced for the quality. Front desk staff is terrible. Don't know how to handle issues which you will have plenty. We didn't have AC 2 out of 3 nights and they didn't even feel bad about it. They said basically it is what it is and we have to deal with it. One night they moved us to another room and they were acting like they were doing us a favor. It was major problem for us. second night they moved us to our room which has broken AC And gave us boxed fan to cool off. Front desk manager is clueless and don't know how to handle issues and he has kids working for him who do not know how to handle anything. They are like teenagers. I would never ever stay there again and warn anyone not to there. Oh you will wake up 5am because of dumpster trucks getting the trash and it takes like 20 min. Another thing is their damn roosters , they start 4am and won't let you sleep. Jesus, it was 3 days of hell!

Check-in was busy when we arrived, but the staff remained friendly, patient, and accommodating. We've stayed here several times over the years, including during the renovations, so we've seen the resort through all its phases. It's wonderful to see everything almost completed, and the property looks great. Throughout every visit, the staff has always gone above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. One thing we've learned is that if you have a special request, just ask , they're happy to help whenever they can. Our two-bedroom suite was perfect for our family. We love the layout and found it incredibly comfortable. While many guests prefer the ocean-view rooms, we actually enjoy them, even with the occasional cruise ship in the harbor. Besides, you're in Key West! Take a walk and explore, you'll find gorgeous ocean views all around the island. The location truly couldn't be better. You're within walking distance of Duval Street, Mallory Square, great restaurants, shopping, and so many Key West attractions. We also had dinner at the newly decorated Lolita's Coastal Cocina, and it was absolutely delicious. A special thank you to Damir K., who has been wonderful throughout our stay. His hospitality, along with the rest of the staff, is one of the many reasons we keep coming back. Keep up the great work, Opal Key...we're already looking forward to our next visit!

A female guest was verbally cornered and aggressively berated by an enraged male patron over a minor non-issue involving a bird near the family pool deck. Despite multiple eyewitnesses, who were asked to confirm the woman did nothing wrong and that the man was the sole aggressor, hotel security decided to de-escalate his threatening behavior. In addition, it seems security contacted local police on behalf of the man to have the female guest and her children removed under threat of arrest. We fully understand that this hotel is private property and management has the right to enforce rules on its premises. However, paying patrons also have rights. One of them is the right to a safe environment and fair treatment. Using private property rights to shield an aggressive patron while penalizing a victimized woman is a complete failure of duty of care. As a paying guest, watching management handle this safety concern the way it did was alarming and disappointing. While this was a verbal assault and not a physical assault, it should not diminish the fact that the female patron responded to the man to de-escalate using logic instead of emotions. To the mom - please reach out here via message to let us know you are safe and sound with your family. We tried reaching out through the hotel and on OoenTable/Google Business. Hope you're doing ok now! To the man with anger issues on principle - just because you thought your child (and the woman's children) may have overheard a swear word when a bird was being shooed away from tainting the pool water, it could have stopped with you. Teach your child to not say that word instead of dressing down a mom in public for your audience. This could be a core memory for children and adults, especially those who witness this in the home. My own children, who watched this performance, said to me they were worried the argument would turn physically violent. I'm happy it didn't, but it did ruin our afternoon. We have not been back to the family pool since then. Life is short, my brother, and you got your free drink. Please choose better next time. There was no need to get security and local police involved. I am sharing this with you, sir, and others here because I, too, have anxiety and PTSD from work, life, and other challenges. It's an ongoing process, and never too late to work through it. This is the reason we chose to vacation at this resort and relax. https://www.betterhelp.com/advice/anger/where-to-find-effective-free-anger-management-classes-that-really-work-and-where-to-get-therapy-online/ *** But there's good news about this resort.

So, outside drinks are allowed at the pool...but no glass. They have two pools. I preferred the pool towards the back. There are lush beautiful plants all around you and you'll often see little lizards scurrying by the pool. They did not have a late checkout for my room but they were nice enough to hold my bags and have use of the pool while I waited for my friends to arrive. I would stay here again but during high season, the rooms get expensive. I loved room 3 but would love to someday stay in the cute cabin looking rooms up behind the pool. They have a covered porch, sitting room m, and a large bathroom. Overall, the service was solid. The grounds of the hotel are lovely, the bed was amazing, and the pools were a lovely respite from the crowded streets and heat of the city.
