Key Largo, Florida, The Place To Be

Over February break I had the chance to go to Key Largo and Key West Florida with my mom. Both places are so beautiful.  Today, I am going to be talking about Key Largo and in my next blog I will talk about Key West so sit back and enjoy the ride!

Key Largo is my absolute favorite key that we went to. It was so beautiful and all around amazing. On the east side of Key Largo there is the Gulf of Mexico and on the west side is the Atlantic Ocean. The hotel we stayed at was on the west side. 

Our hotel was called The Sea Farrer and I highly recommend it. This hotel was super fun to stay at and the staff were so nice. In the morning they make egg sulfas and homemade muffins. They also have a wide variety of fruits. Our room was right on the beach. We had to pay a little extra but it was worth it. At the hotel they have a private beach for guests only and many lounge chairs to choose from. They also rent kayaks and paddle boards. My mom and I took the kayaks out one evening and saw a manatee who loved belly rubs. 

While we were there we got to go on a catamaran tour of  To be honest it was not the best tour that we took. The boat said no smoking when you could clearly see the captain smoking. Also, the assistant guy didn’t really do anything the whole entire time. When we left, almost everyone was sea sick and the attendant was practically  begging us for money. 

While we were in Key Largo we went to two restaurants there. The first one was a place called Skipper's Dockside. It is a place right on the water with indoor and outdoor seating that just opened up in 2015. It was very crowded when we got there and the waiter told us it was going to be a thirty minute wait when it really was about a fifteen minute wait. When we were there the staff was not the best, and it was a smoking zone. The food was okay, but a little over priced.  I ordered a burger and my mom ordered slider's. The only real bad part about Skipper's was the fact we were surrounded by people smoking.

Another restaurant we went to was Snapper's Waterfront. It was on the water like Skipper's and had indoor and outdoor seating. When we entered the building there was no wait. This place was a little better than Skipper's in my opinion. The service was much better and there were no smokers. Our food came out right away and was delicious. I ordered salmon and my mom ordered fish and chips.

Thank you so much for viewing my blog. I hope you learned something about Key Largo and I hope you check it out. Look out for my next post on Key West, Florida. Have a safe flight!
