Quick Verdict: Blue Flamingo Resort Key West vs The Gates Hotel Key West

When Blue Flamingo Resort Key West wins: choose Blue Flamingo if you want two pools, regular evening entertainment, family-friendly facilities (playground, game room), on-site tiki bars and casual dining, plus a resort-fee shuttle to Old Town. It’s designed for social stays and events.
