Key Largo Hotels For A Florida Beach Holiday

By April Briggs


Florida is among the world's most popular beach holiday destinations. Tens of millions of people make their way every year to the Atlantic and Gulf Coast beaches fronting the Sunshine State's sun-drenched beachfront communities. The Florida Keys offer a long line of these idyllic holiday spots, and that's why Key Largo hotels are usually full at any given time of the year.

The City of Key Largo, located on an island of the same name, is at the northern end of the upper Florida Keys in Monroe County. The thing that makes it stand out amongst a whole string of similar sunny beach communities is its length and the long string of unbroken beaches. Not to mention the proximity to both Miami and the Everglades.

It allows visitors to enjoy the urban delights of Miami as well as the stunning natural beauty and all the wildlife inside the Everglades. Also not to be missed are the coral reefs. The John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park is what makes this city the world's diving capital.

As for the hotel, most travelers focus on nightly rates, amenities and availability. But another thing that is equally important is the location. Gaining a better understanding of the layout in relation to the mainland and the coast may be helpful.

This is a very long and thin island, connected to Florida City on the mainland through two bridges. One is the Overseas Highway coming in through the middle of the island, and it then turns to follow the coast and the beaches. The second bridge is on Card Sound Road at the north end. Most good beachfront hotels here are along the Overseas Highway, either on the beach or very close to the water.

So it's simple enough to deduce that anyone looking for a nice place to stay with an ocean view should use the Overseas Highway. The endless row of lodging establishments begins right after the road turns to follow the beaches. The ideal location on this route can be decided based on the trip itinerary.

For example, the Everglades National Park is more easily accessible as people drive further along the Overseas Highway as it heads southwest. But for divers and families interested in coral reefs and the reconstruction of a coral reef inside a gigantic aquarium, it would be easier if they were closer to the city's middle or north end. This would be where the highway turns and runs parallel to the beaches after entering the city.

As for amenities, most properties here offer everything from refrigerators to microwaves, cable and Wi-Fi in-room. Free coffee or tea is also quite common, along with continental breakfasts. An outdoor swimming pool, free parking, laundry, room service and a concierge should be available to help make the stay easy and comfortable for guests. Regardless of a visitor's choice of hotel, it's a given that a stay in Key Largo is going to be a highly memorable and fun-filled beach holiday.
