Picolo recommends · Hotel in Key West, Florida
Parrot Key Hotel and Villas
Four pools, pastel villas and a car park of its own on the north side of the island, made for road trips down the Overseas Highway.
Parrot Key sits on the water on the north side of Key West, with rooms and villas in pastel colours spread around four pools. There is a restaurant on site and, unusually for Key West, plenty of parking.
Old Town is too far to walk comfortably, but bikes and taxis get you there in a few minutes.
Picolo’s verdict
