Hampton Inn Key Largo

The hotel is located directly on Florida Bay with its own private beach and boat dock for guest use. Guests can rent kayaks on site and paddle through the calm bay waters to spot local manatees and dolphins. The Tiki Bar is open from 2pm to 7pm and serves drinks like the Key Lime Cooler within view of the water.

The property has an outdoor heated swimming pool surrounded by lounge chairs, with iguanas frequently sunbathing alongside the adjacent channel. A well-equipped fitness center and guest laundry are available on site. The hotel maintains a 24-hour front desk and a vending area that sells snacks, toiletries, and even frozen bait for fishing.

A complimentary hot breakfast buffet is served daily with fresh fruit, homemade waffles, eggs, bacon or sausage, yogurt, and scones. The breakfast staff, including Norma and GiGi, keep the buffet fully stocked until closing time. Coffee and tea are available 24 hours in the lobby, and fresh chocolate chip cookies are offered in the afternoons.

Guest rooms include a refrigerator, microwave, and a balcony or patio for outdoor seating. Renovated rooms offer a large walk-in shower and a sitting area with a sofa and desk. Rooms are available in king or double-bed configurations, and some poolside or water-view options are offered.

The hotel is a 2-minute drive from John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, the first undersea park in the United States. Dolphin Cove and Theater of the Sea are within a 10-minute drive, and Everglades National Park is 31 miles away. Plenty of restaurants such as the Fish House and Alfredo's Cookhouse are within walking distance or a short drive.
