Message: [QUOTE="8893, post: 3959244, member: 93"] Thanks. Interesting, as that one has not come up before. Looks like it is owned by Hilton now. They claim to be the only private, natural sand beach in Key West. I gather that the beach at the Pier House is man made and some of the reviews have mentioned that it's not much to enjoy in that respect; but I thought both the Southernmost Beach Resort and Casa Marina had their own private sandy beaches as well? There are tons of reviews on Trip Advisor but the thing troubling me the most is that each of these top places has at least one or more very recent reviews where people are complaining about lack of service and filthy rooms, when they are paying between $700 and $1,200 per night for what are supposed to be some of the finest rooms on the island. It sounds like the housekeeping is really suffering at a lot of these places during Covid, when they have only been cleaning the rooms once every three days. We experienced a bit of that the week before last when we stayed at the Marriott Renaissance Arts in Providence. I usually love that chain and this was a nice enough hotel and room, but it was noticeably less clean than expected, including a few children's toys I found behind one of the chairs, and some food waste on the carpet. That kind of stuff can queer a trip for us in short order, so I'm hoping that the level of service improves. In the meantime I'm also thinking more about smaller places with much fewer rooms, which would seem to reduce the housekeeping burden and the risk of being disappointed. [/QUOTE]
