Quick Verdict: Havana Cabana at Key West vs The Gates Hotel Key West

When Havana Cabana at Key West wins: Choose Havana Cabana if a large heated pool, daily poolside cocktails and Cuban-themed dining are central to your trip, or if you want a complimentary shuttle to Old Town and free self-parking.
