Location: Gateway New Town vs Steps from Duval

Blue Flamingo Resort Key West – Location

  • Centrally located — walking distance to Duval Street, Hemingway Home and other Old Town sites.
  • Ideal for arriving on foot, bike, or by short cab/ride-share from the airport.
  • Smaller property footprint makes exploring Old Town on foot the main appeal.

The Gardens puts you inside Old Town with most attractions a short walk away.

Dining & drinks: Poolside tiki energy vs Quiet garden dining

Blue Flamingo Resort Key West – Dining & drinks

Blue Flamingo focuses on poolside, tiki-inspired dining and multiple casual bars.

  • Rum Row is a tiki Caribbean bar/food truck serving cocktails and pool bites; Toasted Coconut is a poolside restaurant serving from breakfast through afternoon.
  • On-site Starbucks and multiple bars make it easy to grab coffee or cocktails without leaving property.
  • Evening entertainment and happy-hour programming are part of the dining scene.

  • Complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast is a standard feature for guests.
  • Two bars/lounges are on property for quieter pre- or post-dinner drinks.

Pools & main amenity: Two lively pools vs Garden pools

Blue Flamingo Resort Key West – Pools & main amenity

Blue Flamingo’s Backyard Pool & Social Club centers the resort experience around two lively pools and programming.

  • Two outdoor pools with cabanas available for rent (surcharge) and pool hours year-round.
  • Backyard Pool & Social Club includes lawn games, karaoke, live music, and poolside food and drink.

  • The hotel highlights garden spaces and private patios/balconies for many rooms.

Blue Flamingo provides 24-hour fitness, a hot tub, and active evening entertainment.

  • 24-hour fitness center and on-site hot tub/jacuzzi are available.
  • Regular evening entertainment, live music, and karaoke are part of resort programming.
  • No named full-service spa is published; relaxation is pool/hot-tub focused.

The Gardens Hotel – Wellness & nightlife

The Gardens emphasizes quiet garden grounds and a boutique pace with limited nightlife on property.

  • Hotel listing notes a health/beauty spa nearby rather than a named on-site spa.
  • Nighttime at the property tends to be calm; Old Town nightlife is a short walk away.
  • Concierge can assist with local wellness or activity bookings.

The Gardens is better if you want a low-key wellness stay and prefer to find nightlife in Old Town on foot.
