Quick Verdict: Blue Flamingo Resort Key West vs Ocean Key Resort A Noble House Resort

When Blue Flamingo Resort Key West wins: choose Blue Flamingo if you want more on-site entertainment and facilities for families (two pools, kids’ play area, arcade/game room, evening programming, and a resort-fee shuttle to Old Town) and faster access to Key West International Airport.

When Ocean Key Resort wins: choose Ocean Key if you prioritize an Old Town/Mallory Square waterfront location, oceanfront or harbor-view rooms, a full-service spa, and a quieter, more central base for walking to Duval Street and sunset activities.

Bottom line: Blue Flamingo is the more activity-forward, family-oriented option at the island gateway; Ocean Key is the pick for a compact, upscale Old Town waterfront stay with direct access to the harbor and Mallory Square.

Location: New Town gateway vs Old Town waterfront

Blue Flamingo Resort Key West – Location

Blue Flamingo sits on North Roosevelt Boulevard at Key West’s New Town entrance, a short drive from the airport and Smathers Beach.

  • About 1 mile from Key West International Airport, making arrivals and departures quick.
  • Shuttle service to Old Town included in the resort fee; Duval Street and Mallory Square are a longer ride.
  • Near Smathers Beach and the tropical botanical garden; more car/bike oriented than walkable to Old Town attractions.

Better if you want fast airport access and easy beach proximity rather than being inside Old Town.

Ocean Key Resort A Noble House Resort – Location

Ocean Key Resort is located at the waterfront end of Old Town near Mallory Square and Duval Street.

  • Steps from Mallory Square and close to Duval Street’s shops, bars, and waterfront attractions.
  • Waterfront position means easy access to sunset viewing and harbor-side activity providers.
  • Less need for transfers — you can walk to many Old Town sights and evening events.

Better if you want to be based inside Old Town for walking to nightlife, dining, and sunset celebrations.

Rooms: space and views

Blue Flamingo Resort Key West – Rooms

Blue Flamingo offers 245 rooms with pool, garden, or ocean views and a mix of suites.

  • Room types include Room, Room (Pool View), Room (Island View, High Floor), Room, Ocean View, Studio Suite, Ocean View, and 1-bedroom suites with pool or ocean views.
  • Many rooms are configured for families (options up to 4 guests) and there are multiple larger suites.
  • Free property-wide Wi‑Fi; rooms are described as recently renovated and individually styled.

Choose Blue Flamingo for bigger room count and family-friendly configurations, plus ocean-view suite options without being in Old Town.

Ocean Key Resort A Noble House Resort – Rooms

Ocean Key lists 100 individually decorated guestrooms with many oceanfront and harbor-view suites.

  • Room types include Partial Oceanview Queen, Junior Suite Island View, Junior Suite Partial Ocean View, Ocean View Boutique Suite, Deluxe Room, Oceanfront, and several 1‑ and 2‑bedroom suites (oceanfront and harbor view).
  • Many rooms have private balconies and ocean/harbor-facing exposures for sunset views.
  • Complimentary Wi‑Fi and minibars are listed in guestroom descriptions.

Ocean Key is the choice for waterfront-facing rooms and private balconies near Mallory Square.

Dining & drinks: casual poolside vs refined waterfront

Blue Flamingo Resort Key West – Dining & drinks

Blue Flamingo focuses on poolside, island-inspired dining and tiki cocktails across several casual venues.

  • Rum Row: tiki Caribbean bar and food truck serving cocktails, frozen drinks and poolside bites (hours vary; extended Fri–Sun).
  • Toasted Coconut: poolside restaurant serving breakfast and daytime fare (regular hours 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.; some sources list extended hours).
  • Additional on-site options include Republica Bar & Lounge and an on-site Starbucks for coffee and pastries.

Go here for casual, family-friendly poolside dining and lively bar programming.

Ocean Key Resort A Noble House Resort – Dining & drinks

Ocean Key offers two restaurants and three bars/lounges, with room service during limited hours.

  • Two on-site restaurants are listed along with three bars/lounges for sunset and evening drinks.
  • Poolside bar service and room service (limited hours) are available; breakfast is offered for an extra fee.
  • Concierge can assist with local dining reservations and waterfront activity bookings.

Go here if you want easy waterfront dining and multiple bar/lounge options within walking distance of Old Town restaurants.

Pools & outdoor amenities: two pools vs single pool & cabanas

Blue Flamingo Resort Key West – Pools & outdoor amenities

Blue Flamingo emphasizes two outdoor pools, cabanas, and a social club that programs music and activities.

  • Two lively pools with luxe cabanas available for rent (surcharge).
  • The Backyard Pool & Social Club hosts live music, karaoke, lawn games, and evening entertainment covered by the resort fee.
  • Other on-site recreation includes pickleball courts, an arcade/game room, and family activities.

Stronger on-family, on-site pool life and programmed entertainment around the pools.

Ocean Key Resort A Noble House Resort – Pools & outdoor amenities

Ocean Key has a single outdoor pool and lists free pool cabanas as an amenity.

  • One outdoor pool with poolside seating and complimentary cabanas advertised.
  • Waterfront location means easy access to harbor views and nearby water activities (kayaking, sailing, snorkeling offered nearby).
  • Fewer large-scale on-site entertainment offerings compared with Blue Flamingo; focus is more on the waterfront setting.

Better for quieter pool time with immediate access to harbor and sunset views.

Wellness & nightlife: spa, fitness, and evening scene

Blue Flamingo Resort Key West – Wellness & nightlife

Blue Flamingo’s on-site offerings lean toward active and social programming with fitness and an outdoor hot tub.

  • 24-hour fitness center and a hot tub/jacuzzi are on site.
  • Evening entertainment, live music, and karaoke are regular features of the resort-fee programming.
  • No published full-service spa with named treatment menus; wellness is delivered through fitness and poolside relaxation.

Pick Blue Flamingo for fitness access plus a social evening scene rather than a spa retreat.

Ocean Key Resort A Noble House Resort – Wellness & nightlife

Ocean Key lists a full-service spa and a 24-hour fitness facility for guests.

  • Full-service spa offering massages, body treatments, and facials is listed in supplier facts.
  • 24-hour fitness facilities are available.
  • Nightlife options include nearby Old Town bars and restaurants within walking distance; the hotel’s bars add evening options.

Pick Ocean Key if an on-site spa and easy access to Old Town nightlife are priorities.
