Hotel at a Glance: Havana Cabana at Key West

Guests looking for a resort that's as elegantly laid back as Key West itself will find their jackpot at Havana Cabana at Key West. This welcoming, modern hotel boasts the island's largest freshwater pool—which offers plenty of shade beneath quintessential Florida palm trees—and a Floridita Food Truck that serves up a curated menu of authentic Cuban fare, including slow-roasted pork shoulder, spicy shredded beef, or steakburger with smoked bacon. The pervading Cuban vibe extends to the guest rooms as well, some of which feature private balconies overlooking the nearby ocean.

Key West, Florida: Dazzling Sunsets, Six-Toed Cats, and Cuban Culture

Located just off Florida's southernmost tip and north of Cuba, the island of Key West is undoubtedly the most famous of the Florida Keys. Frommer's calls it "the land of the eternal vacation." Most tourists come to Key West's gulf-side beaches to snorkel, surf, or fish, but no trip to Key West is complete without a visit to the Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum, where the author lived, worked, and kept his six-toed cats. More than 50 descendants of those famous felines still prowl the grounds of the museum to this day.

At nighttime, locals and visitors alike converge on the Mallory Square Dock to watch the sun dip below the Gulf of Mexico, casting swaths of deep orange and pink against the horizon. The spectacle is so breathtaking that it inspires a sunset celebration each night. The dock comes to life with traveling psychics, one-man bands, and food vendors serving fresh-squeezed lemonade and plantain chips.
