Wonderful

The walking distance between amenities in the resort was too great to consider it guest-friendly. The pricing for an “upgrade” King room with a view of “HVAC” equipment was terrible. Only because I was ignorant of other options on Key West did we fall for this overhyped “resort”. I cannot recommend it.
Well located but very expensive. Recently remodeled room had an annoying dripping sound in the wall. Don’t use the shampoo, very very harsh. Barely adequate in size for 2 people.
We liked the location, the pools and the beachside. The private jetties with their sunbeams were a nice place to relax.
However, our room in the Avalon Building was dark and cramped,with only a small window which was in any event blocked by the TV. There was only one dining facility on the beach which was also open to the public and was always very crowded. Despite this the pools had very draconian rules forbidding bringing food onto the premises. This was very annoying as we bought some sandwiches for lunch one day that we had to eat in our room ! Our other major issue was the exorbitant parking charges, by far the largest of the four hotels in which we stayed in the Keys. This could be an excellent hotel but they need to be just a bit more customer friendly.
We decided to ask for an upgrade to our original reservation We did not stay at Duval Gardens.We stayed in king room with balcony and pool and ocean view. It was recently updated and beautiful. We couldn’t have made a better decision.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Room was VERY small; no natural light (Window was blocked by huge TV screen, other window was blocked by armoire); musty smell over the awful cleaning fragrance used in the room. Could not air out room, (windows were locked permamently) ; Shower had no pressure and lukewarm water; Refrigerator leaked in armoire onto floor.
TV was not internet ready, so could not sign into our own Netflix/Prime accounts.
Music by pools was very loud, distracting.
For $675 per night, this was very overpriced.
We had a fantastic time. Kasey the activity Rep was outstanding, a really rock star. We will visit again in the future.

Re
For an adult only complex we were surprised at the after noise by other guest. It was terrible. In room 813 there was a really loud noise. It was non stop. Sounded like air in a pipe. Khala who made our room up was awesome!!!
The location is great, and the property is beautiful. It has great amenities - many pools, planned activities and a nice fitness center. The breakfast that is included with the stay is outstanding. A great selection of food, and in a beautiful location on the water. The renovated Avalon is very nice and comfortable. The only negative is that the water pressure, particularly in the shower, was poor.
Our stay started off beautifully once we found our room. The property is not so easy to navigate until you get the lay of the land. The room in the Avalon Parlour was pretty and unique. We liked the little secluded pool and patio area. The breakfast was great, although you had to take a little trip down and across the street to get to another part of the property where the breakfast room was. It had a lovely beach view and nice selection to get your day started. On the other hand...we noticed right off the bat that our room was much warmer than we liked but thought it just needed time to regulate once we arrived. Turns out the A/C was not functioning properly and after numerous visits to the front desk and plenty of opportunity to fix the problem as we were out all day, we ended up moving to another room because it would not have been comfortable for sleeping, and we felt that for the money we were paying, more attention should have been taken to fix the problem. Not to mention, our room was also not tended to that day. The room they moved us too was underwhelming and typical, a sad departure from the room we initially had. One other thing, if you like your doors to lock from the inside, this does not happen in any of the Parlour rooms apparently, according to Maintenance. Ours did not lock so I placed a large chair in front of the door overnight. Maybe overkill, but it made me feel better. At least the main doors to the building required a key for entry.
We really enjoyed our stay. We got the breakfast included which also included a great 2pm snack time that was basically a late lunch. All the food was great!

Liked: Cleanliness
The location
And every other time besides this trip, they were really good about the VIP services
Our check in experience was unprofessional, they sent us to the wrong property and could not find our paid in full reservation. Then offered an upgrade to a room that was next door to the kitchen where breakfast preparation began at 5am. When moved to another room we were reprimanded for not making the complaint earlier and asked that we travel to the lobby a block away to get new keys. Our new room had a TV that didn’t keep a signal and no hot water in the shower. When we left our room in the morning for breakfast, a lizard jumped on our table to eat our food. After breakfast we were locked out of our room because they hadn’t programmed the locks to reflect the time change and assumed we had checked out. When we went to the lobby to officially check out they offered to waive our resort fees, but not the upgrade fee they had originally offered as a comp for the check in hassle.
Service is slow, and sassy if you complain.
very nice stay with everybody staying there seemed happy and friendly. so i guess that is a reflection of the facility.
the pools were nice but the actual ocean beach was small and not groomed as nice as I would have liked. great job on providing clean beach towels and always a resort bar handy. I did find the lounges at poolside were uncomfortabe, no cushion..
Loved the property! Our room was nice, I especially enjoyed the outdoor space (front porch and second story balcony) - we stayed at the Avalon House. We used the pool in the evenings and I loved having breakfast and lunchtime snacks at the Beachfront cafe (included). Staff were wonderful. The only downfall was the $50 fee for early check-in. Even the cheapest of hotels will allow early check-in if the room is ready. Other than that, I would definitely recommend

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our anniversary trip and stay at the Guesthouses at Southernmost Point. We stayed in the La Met house, and we loved how comfortable and spacious the room was. The close proximity to the beach and the Beachside Bar and Grill was an amazing plus. We enjoyed several meals there after spending the day walking the island. It was a blessing to be able to get a quality meal just steps away. The staff was all very helpful and friendly. I look forward to booking at this resort again in the future!
Everyone was so nice & helpful , especially the ladies at the Beach cafe - Ophelia was great Jules the concierge was AMAZING IN EVERY WAY, so very helpful! They went above & beyond
