I always wanted to get to Key West, finally did about 10 years ago. I have no interest in going back. But if you've never been, I understand the allure.
More recently, stayed at Hawks Cay in Marathon. Pretty nice place. Was on business, so didn't get to do any touristy stuff. They had a nice pool and a swim with the dolphins deal.
For my money, the lack of nice beaches makes Key West less attractive. That plus the fact it is such a long drive. Why spend your vacation driving?
While in Marathon, I knew some folks that drove out to Key West for a long evening. They got back very late but point is, you could visit Key West for a day, see the sun set and all that without having to stay out there. Staying in Marathon shortens the return drive to Ft. Lauderdale when vacation is over.
My wife and I prefer beaches so the Keys is limited. Check out Sombrero Beach in Marathon.
