Where to stay in the Florida Keys??

[jason07]

The girlfriend and I are thinking about taking a trip to the Keys this summer. I went to Destin last year and I want to do something different.

I have looked at a couple resorts:

Hawks Cay Resort
Holiday Isle Beach Resort

Are these great options? Are there any other options I should look for?

I don't really want to do anything in particular, just typical beach, sight seeing stuff. I would like to find a kick ass harbor with some nice boats though. Also, I am not spending $150 for dinner so a resort that's close to "off resort" type of dining is preferred.

Your thoughts/opinions?

Thanks

Have you looked at doing an all-inclusive in Cabo/Bahamas or Playa? You'll pay about the same as you would for air/hotel, but all meals/drinks will be included. I think that's what we're doing for Thanksgiving this year.

I've been to Playa and I am not keen on going to Cabo right now. Although the Bahamas might be a good choice too. Most everyone speaks the English there too.

The keys are fantastic if you are gay. The wife and I got talked into going with another couple not long ago for a scuba diving trip. The water is shallow, murky, everything is overrated and expensive but watching the gay couples is at least entertaining.

You know how I know you're gay?? Because you said it's entertaining to watch gay couples! LOL

Thanks for the input though

Very few beaches in South Florida look like they do on CSI Miami..

Too many old people in Florida. Beaches suck and cost way too much for what it is.

We stayed at Banana Bay on Marathon - just a little family run deal. Would happily go there again.

I don't know where you spent time but majority of beaches have light sand and bright blue water on the east coast of florida. I spend 6-8 months of the year there all up and down the coast. I didn't really care for the keys, depending on which key you stay on. I'd go to nassau over the keys.
