We had a really nice stay here. It's not in the central part of town, which I liked because it was quieter. Nicely appointed rooms and incredible views and balconies. We especially love the cabanas - we ended up getting one a 2nd day. Service was great. They provide water throughout the hotel. The breakfast included wasn't great. Got really crowded and not much offered, more like something you'd see at a Holiday Inn. I would stay here again.

We couldn't have asked for a better hotel on my first trip to Key West! I read multiple reviews on other hotels in the area and Capitana was the ideal choice. Not only is the hotel essentially brand new, the staff really do their best to make sure you're happy during your stay. We checked in with Yanique who was so pleasant and made sure to text us during the day to ensure everything was up to our standards. She also gave us a tour of the grounds and made sure we knew where everything was. We stayed in a king bed room which is the perfect size for a weekend getaway. There's a kitchen area with plenty of storage, seating area, and sectional couch. The room also includes a nespresso machine with an assortment of coffee pods. The bathroom was clean, spacious, stocked with Nest products and more than enough towels. I am a bit of a hotel snob and to have the room look just like the photos and be very clean was such a relief. There is also a smart TV in the room where you can connect to your Netflix and watch movies before bed! I didn't even realize when I booked, but Capitana offers a free continental breakfast. Eggs, bacon, French toast, bread selection, cereal and an assortment of drinks. For lunch, there is a small bar area that serves food and drinks. You really can spend all day at the hotel and just head out for Dinner. The bartenders were very nice and made great drinks. I will say the only thing missing from Capitana is some sort of included shuttle service to the downtown area. Ubers are about $11 one way or you can drive and try to find a paid parking lot. 10/10 recommend Capitana to anyone visiting Key West and wanting to stay away from all of the downtown noise. Very beautiful property with nice amenities.

We had only been to Key West for a couple of hours on a cruise, but we decided to make a trip to Dry Tortugas and we needed to book a hotel for 2 nights. We looked and looked and couldn't decide where to book a room since we used to live in Destin and know there are always places that look like Heaven in the pics, but look like hell in person, but the Capitana is Heaven in person. It kinda unassuming as you drive in, but once you're inside it's beautiful. The staff were very nice, the room was beautiful, spotless, and quiet. They have a hydration station on each floor that offers free chilled bottles of water which is greatly appreciated. The balcony is so nice and it was so relaxing just to sit there and relax. The pool and hot tub were very nice and I could have sat there all day. We were only there 2 nights and we got there late the first day and we spent the next day at Dry Tortugas so sadly we didn't have a chance to have anything from the restaurant or bar but definitely will our next trip there. We loved it so much we didn't want to leave, but my husband had meetings he had to go to the next day for work so we had to come back home. We're going back the 27th of November so I can't wait to just hang out at the hotel and relax.

Pet friendly!!Loved our stay here. Opal collection hotels are never a let down. Free continental breakfasts was delicious. No complaints what so ever

Have now stayed here twice. Updating from 4 to 5 stars. Most recent stay was in the cottage which has a full kitchen and 2.5 baths. Much nicer experience as the cottages are separate from the main building and have more space. They overlook a small creek and have a nice back patio. Staff continues to be very helpful during stays. Still want to see them get a restaurant or at least better food, and a shuttle to Duval. Room service would also be wonderful. Keep up the good work!

Hard to capture the beauty in a photo... much better on person! Everything is perfect!!

Love this hotel! Hanna at the front desk greeted us immediately and made us feel like she was happy to have us as her guests. The rooms are awesome with a beautiful view of the ocean and pool from our deck. Class act!

My boyfriend and I stayed here for four nights , we did all the key west activities the first two days but all we wanted to do is come back to The Capitana Resort! It's SO clean! The staff is very helpful and friendly! The amenities are the best! You have your own private little beach and so much more! I couldn't recommend this place enough! Side Note: a famous country singer was staying here while we were here as well. Kinda cool!! LoCash was the name. We seen him out on Duval street and then by the pool the next day!

Invited friends for always a good time.

See all

Property does not have one consistent vibe, but it is closest attributed to South Beach/modern. Rooftop bar has live music in the evening and good drinks while overlooking Duval street. Breakfast selection is good, but if you are used to complementary breakfast through the Marriott status, then you are only offered eggs, bacon, granola, and toast. Sadly the bacon was stale (we were one of the first, if not the very first to order breakfast, so it being completely cold and stale tells me it's not from today). We asked for coffee at breakfast and were pointed to the coffee station on the front end of the bar. Just drip coffee, nothing special. No milk, alternatives or honey, just cream, sugar and stevia. That part could be improved for it being about $400-$500/night. The room itself is decorated well and clean. Plantation shutters look great, but they do let in light in the morning since hotel doesn't have any curtains. Walls are thin as we heard the phone ring, but turns out it was our neighbor.

It's rare to meet someone who delivers top-tier service with such genuine warmth, but Andre absolutely does. He set the tone for a great stay and made us feel valued from the start.

It was late night and there was not much available. Miraculously, this place ended up our final destination after 4 of us were on our phones for literally at least an hour. We ended getting to the place nearly 10:30 pm. The staff was AMAZING!! The place was beautiful with a location right in view of the water. The rooms we got were impeccable. Crisp white sheets, fluffy white towels, plenty of bottled water in the mini fridge. Poolside, they offered cool individually wrapped facial towels, sunblock, sunglasses wiping cloths, and much more. Their restaurant was ocean facing and very nice. We ate breakfast there 2 days in a row and it was wonderful. The only issue was our beautiful view was blocked by cruise ships on both days. The ships were there until nearly 4 pm... that part was definitely not good planning for the view. But for watching sunsets after they were gone... ohhh my goodness. All in all, a fabulous place, sensational customer service and respect. But do expect it to be on the pricier side... well worth every penny.

The property is filled with hammocks and tree swings, perfect places to drink your FREE coffee or tea from the lobby every morning. You know what I loved more than all the free beverages (lol)?

Or super powers. Our room was cute and clean. We got the standard room (no upgrades) after the Hyatt screwed up our reservation and we were scrambling to find accommodations last minute.

On top of that the room is almost closet sized with an exposed shower and sink which makes it feel very humid in the room. Theres barely enough space between the bed and wall to walking into the room. The shower also hadn't been cleaned with a piece of old soap stuck to the floor and bug crawling under the pillow when i moved it.. I brought it to the attention of the man working the front desk who first told me it was a queen. The GM came on later that evening and admitted that it wasn't a queen and offered us a slightly larger rom but same size bed. Again the sink was in the room and it was stuffy and humid which made it hard to sleep more than four hours. I canceled the room after one night and tried to get my money back, but they've refused. Do not stay at this hotel. The "queen room" is basically just a hostel at hotel prices. $260 a night in my case.

It was a relaxing Oasis just two blocks from the hustle and bustle of Duvall, allowing you to partake in all the day and night activities, but then escape back to your quiet, peaceful place to unwind! The room was much larger than we expected with a large living room area with desk and mini fridge full of different drinks, with more drinks of all types on top, with a variety of snacks! The bedroom was also large, with a large closet and a VERY comfortable bed in a room that darkened to allow us to sleep in one day. Both rooms had TV's if you wanted to unwind with different show types. The bathroom was gorgeous with separated dual vanities so no spousal battles getting ready, a separate water closet (also helps avoid battles :) ) , and a huge shower with a great dual shower head fixture including rain shower. Given the propensity for high temperatures in FL, the AC in this place was great and ceiling fans kept the room as cold as you wanted. The pool areas were little botanical wonders full of great foliage, comfortable lounge chairs and just gorgeous serene surroundings. There were usually only a few adults there so it was a quite paradise to go read a book in the shade, lay out in the sun, swim or just relax. I'm not much of a pool guy, but even I enjoyed our time at this one. The lobby area is really cool with a refreshed vintage house and vintage furniture and decor. We ate at the cafe one day for breakfast and got great service and a pretty good meal. The staff was mostly friendly with a few more mellow younger folks, but some really nice housekeeping staff who joked with us! The only issue I could see is potentially the parking. We got lucky and found some on street spots but if not, I couldn't tell if they had enough parking and it's a little pricey at $30/night. This kind of quality doesn't come cheap, but we will absolutely splurge and stay here again if we return to Key West and have already told others about it!
