Fodor's Expert Review Veranda Resort

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

In late 2012, Sandals Resorts bought this resort, which will become Beaches Key West Village and an annex of it Beaches resort, nearby. All reservations will be honored during the transition. The pastel-blue-and-yellow-painted clapboard buildings on this expansive property are reminiscent of a seaside town. There are many choices of rooms, everything from large studios and lofts to full villas on the beach with private plunge pools. The furniture is pure West Indies; the granite and tiles ooze luxury. The restaurants don't compromise, offering theme-night buffets as well as à la carte menus.
