Has anyone stayed in Key West for Shabbos?
is midweek a better option?
We're driving down so flexible with dates. It seems like hotels are a fortune for something half decent. are timeshares tours worth it to get extra bang for your buck

I went to Dry Tortugas this past summer and had a wonderful time. We went by boat (https://www.drytortugas.com/). It's not cheap, but we had a great time at the fort and managed to find an empty place to swim.

we went before they redid it (and it was still a waldorf) and made sure to get a great room with a semi-private big deck/lounge chairs facing the ocean which was great. note its far from Chabad.

Casa Marina:

Pays to upgrade? Or wait until arrival and hope for complimentary upgrade?

personally for me it was an escape with the mrs for 3 days and we stayed over shabbos so the terrace was key for a beautiful relaxing afternoon reading in the sun on our lounge chairs with some privacy. taking a chance is taking a chance...

Few DP:
Parking is very limited in the historic district (old town) I stayed at the Casa Marina wheres it's $50 per night parking but just off the street is the end of the historic district so you can park there .

There is also a free bus route that goes around town and it's fee
