Location: New Town Cuban character vs Grand Key full-service

Havana Cabana at Key West – Location

Havana Cabana sits on North Roosevelt Boulevard in New Town, a short drive from Old Town.

  • About 1.1 miles (roughly a five-minute drive) from Key West International Airport.
  • Complimentary shuttle to Downtown Key West, Mallory Square and the harbor.
  • Near Searstown shopping and a short drive to Duval Street (about 2.9 miles).

Choose Havana Cabana for a New Town base with regular shuttle service into Old Town and a quieter street-side location.

DoubleTree Resort – Location

DoubleTree Resort is on South Roosevelt Boulevard/Grand Key, close to Smathers Beach and the airport.

  • By the ocean and a quick drive to Smathers Beach (about 4-minute drive to the beach).
  • Complimentary roundtrip airport shuttle available on request and free beach shuttle.
  • Easier walk/drive access to beachside recreation and some local marinas.

Choose DoubleTree when proximity to Smathers Beach and airport shuttle convenience matter most.

Rooms: boutique Cuban rooms vs larger branded rooms

Havana Cabana at Key West – Rooms

Havana Cabana offers 106 Cuban-inspired rooms with hand-painted murals and a variety of room types.

  • Room types include Premium Rooms (Lola, Luis), Havana Rooms, and Superior Studios; many options for families (some rooms sleep up to 4).
  • Complimentary Wi‑Fi, in-room coffeemakers and safes included via resort fee benefits.
  • No elevator — upper floors reached by stairs; property emphasizes compact, characterful rooms.

Havana Cabana’s rooms emphasize local style and are sized for families and groups; check accessibility needs because there’s no elevator.

DoubleTree Resort – Rooms

  • Rooms include refrigerators and LED televisions; down comforters and premium bedding are noted.
  • Complimentary wired and wireless internet access throughout the property.
  • Large property scale with more rooms and standard full-service hotel facilities.

DoubleTree is the more conventional, larger-property option if you want standard branded room amenities and more room inventory.

Dining & drinks: Cuban-focused casual options vs single American restaurant

Havana Cabana at Key West – Dining & drinks

Havana Cabana centers its food and drink around Cuban flavors in casual formats.

  • Floridita Food Truck serves Cuban breakfast, lunch and dinner (walk-up service).
  • Mojitos Pool Bar offers 15+ mojitos and poolside service daily; Flama Cabana is a waterfront lounge with tapas and live music.
  • Non-hotel guests are welcome at the food and drink venues; evening live music and a cigar humidor at Flama Cabana.

Pick Havana Cabana for a casual, Cuban-flavored dining and nightlife experience concentrated around the pool and waterfront lounge.

  • Palm Haven offers American cuisine with pool views and alfresco dining; buffet breakfast is available for a fee.
  • There is a bar/lounge and a poolside bar for drinks and casual service.
  • Room service is available during limited hours.

DoubleTree provides conventional, full-service dining suitable for families and business guests, with fewer on-site specialty culinary venues.

Pools & beach access: largest pool vs resort pool + beach shuttle

Havana Cabana at Key West – Pools & beach access

Havana Cabana promotes the largest pool in Key West with active poolside service.

  • Largest pool in Key West, heated, open daily 10:00 AM–11:00 PM with chaise lounges and poolside service.
  • Mojitos Pool Bar and poolside food options keep the pool area lively; day passes available to non-guests.
  • Poolside Tiki Hut event space for small weddings and gatherings.

If pool time is the priority, Havana Cabana’s pool scene is the main draw.

DoubleTree Resort – Pools & beach access

  • One outdoor pool with pool cabanas available (surcharge) and poolside bar service.
  • Free beach shuttle simplifies getting to Smathers Beach without driving.
  • Pool hours and cabana availability may be subject to property schedules and extra fees.

DoubleTree balances pool and beach access; use the beach shuttle if you plan significant beach time.

Wellness, nightlife & events: fitness and meetings vs meeting-heavy full service

Havana Cabana at Key West – Wellness, nightlife & events

Havana Cabana focuses on poolside nightlife and small-to-medium events rather than on-site fitness or spa services.

  • Flama Cabana hosts evening live music and a small-bites menu; a cigar humidor is available.
  • Event spaces are geared to weddings and small meetings (Tiki Hut and ~1,820 sq ft of meeting space).
  • No on-site spa; complimentary transport to a nearby fitness facility is provided.

Choose Havana Cabana for social evenings, weddings, and small-group gatherings with Cuban flavor rather than big corporate meetings.

DoubleTree Resort – Wellness, nightlife & events

  • About 7,000 sq ft of conference/meeting space including a ballroom; suitable for larger events and business gatherings.
  • 24-hour fitness facilities are available on property for guests.
