We stayed in the “near hospitality house” rooms and we were right across the street from everything it was wonderful but the resort is so large if you aren’t in one of those rooms you’re a good distance away from main building
Pros:
Beautiful scenery outside balconies spacious studioCons:
No elevators Buses take forever to go around resortReviewed by BigBrotherBaymax Review Date: 04/25/2021

This is one of those resorts that just feels like home. The rooms are spacious, the scenery is calm and peaceful, the staff is absolutely delightful. While it may not have all the excitement of other resorts, it does have a plethora of activities for you and your family. Plus, Olivia's is a fantastic restaurant! Oh... and when you leave the parks at night, there aren't as many guests waiting for the Old Key West bus!
Pros:
Spacious, comfortable, feels like home!Cons:
Sometimes... there is a wait for busses, but it's not a big deal.Reviewed by RichRdisneydad Review Date: 04/18/2021

Great resort for Dvc members. Several pools and lots of activities for the whole family.
Pros:
Olivia’s has great food and a wonderful atmosphere. Gurgling suitcase is a nice place to get a drink near the pool. Big rooms and the buildings are spread out. You really feel like you are at Key west when looking out your windows with all the trees and decor.Cons:
Not the best option if you need to ride Disney buses. Several internal bus stops can mean a long trip to or from the parks.Reviewed by RichRdisneydad Review Date: 04/18/2021

Love OKW! Spacious living area and great pools! Always the first choice to stay when our family and friends are in town.
Pros:
Olivia’s is a must for us! Great mixed drinks at Gurgling suitcase too. Easy to get to Disney springs by boat.Cons:
Not the best resort if you like to use Disney transportation. Several bus stops and no skyliner.Reviewed by Smiles00 Review Date: 03/22/2021

When my family and I come home, we always stay at Old Key West. This is our DVC Home and love staying here. We get a 3 Bedroom Villa and have LOTS of room for 5 adults and 3 children under the age of 12. We love the relaxed atmosphere.

LOTS of room, relaxed atmosphere, great cast membersCons:

We own points here and just stayed here for the first time in February 2021 in an 2 bedroom villa and oh my it was enormous ! This is definitely an amazing place for larger groups or families to stay ! We had so much space to spread out and relax. The kids loved the giant jetted tub. The full kitchen and the washer and dryer were amazing. The pool and slide were so much fun and the sand play area for the kids is great !
Pros:
Relaxing, great pool, huge condo style accomodations, the friendliest cast members I have ever encountered.Cons:
Very large, make sure to book near hospitality house. Only has bussing that stops at several stops before heading to the parks so you need to allow alot of time to get anywhere.Reviewed by Kiba5401 Review Date: 02/09/2021

Great option IF YOU HAVE A CAR! We stayed in a studio room in January 2021- 2 adults and 1 child. The resort has a nice laided back relaxing vibe but it's too big. Unless you have a car or get lucky and your request to be next to hospitality house is accommodated it will be a bit of a pain getting around without a car. The bus transportation circles the resort before heading to the theme park /Disney springs and that loop takes 20 minutes so plan accordingly.
Pros:
Great relaxing vacation vibe, hammocks near hospitality house, sand and sandcastle making activity at main pool for kids, fun slide at the feature pool, Olivia's has some good food optionsCons:
Bus takes long time to get you where you want to go. Currently the boat to Disney springs is not running- only busReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 01/30/2021

We stayed in a 2 bedroom villa; for a family of 6 the room was very comfortable. We loved the convenience of having a washer and dryer in the room and the beds were comfortable The Turtle Pond Road area was quiet but not too far away from the main buildings. I wish we would have taken a day off from the parks in the middle of our trip to just enjoy the resort and relax. We ate at Olivia’s for breakfast and had excellent service.
The transportation situation was our only complaint, but it’s a significant problem. Do not stay here and expect to get to the parks early or even right when they open unless you drive yourself. The buses were always late and didn’t start running until the park opened. This really put a crimp in our plans.
