Key Largo Hotels For A Florida Keys Beach Holiday

By April Briggs


Every list of top beach holidays in the world includes Florida. That's why millions upon millions come here from all over the U. S. And the world to enjoy their holidays in the beaches to be found along the Sunshine State's sun-drenched Gulf Coast and Atlantic coasts. One such extremely popular area here is the Florida Keys archipelago, with the packed Key Largo hotels as home to a non-stop flow of vacationers throughout the year.

The island and city of Key Largo are to be found at the upper Florida keys' north end, in Monroe County. Its fame and popularity is due in part because of the stunning length of this island, with the beaches stretching endlessly along the coast. Another reason why it's so popular is because of its perfect location as a gateway or holiday base to and from both Miami as well as the Everglades.

It's very popular as a base for vacationers dividing their time between Miami's urban pleasures and the 1.4 million acres of natural beauty and wildlife in the Everglades National Park. There's also the awe-inspiring John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park. This is why this place is called 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.

The island is a long, thin strip of fossilized coral reef with the Overseas Highway (Highway 1) running through a big part of it. The island is connected to Florida City on the mainland by the highway near the middle, and also through Card Sound Road at the northern end. The top hotels and lodging establishments are to be found laid out beachfront along the Overseas Highway.

Travelers looking for lodging should drive down the highway, as opposed to using the Card Sound Bridge. The lodging options will be lined up end to end alongside the road immediately after the highway enters the city and turns to follow the coast. The exact location regarding where to stay on this route can be decided based on the activities planned for the stay.

A visitor who intends to spend a lot of time in the Everglades needs to drive further on the Overseas Highway to find a convenient place to stay. But divers and others who want to explore the reef and the massive aquarium with the reconstructed coral reef inside it should stick close to the middle of the island or as far north as they can get. This means a place somewhere close to where the highway turns to follow the coast.

Standard amenities that guests can find in a room will include refrigerators, cable, microwaves and Wi-Fi. Beverages are usually free, and a continental breakfast should be complimentary too. The hotel should have an outdoor pool, and will provide free parking, room service, concierge, laundry and other services to make guests comfortable. The fact is that a hotel in Key Largo will most likely make sure that guests have a fabulous and highly memorable holiday.
