The weather is wonderful (in the low 80’s )and the rates are down!The colorful heritage of this laid back Island city has inspired writers and artists over the last century. Stroll along brick walkways, adjacent to the Custom House Historical Museum or enjoy a walk to the Truman Whitehouse, Mel Fisher’s Museum of sunken treasures and the infamous Hemingway House. Just one block from the resort is Duval Street offering art galleries, boutiques, cafes and legendary historic watering holes. Tour the city on the conch-train, enjoy the conch and Caribbean food, biking, snorkeling, diving, relaxing on the beach, stroll along Dual Street, catch a sunset in Mallory Square, fishing, a sunset sail, shopping and slowing down for a few days.
Wyndham's Reach Resort, in shell-pink, sets the authentic conch tone of the Keys. Located near historic Old Town, it boasts the only natural beach in Key West. Trimmed in white gingerbread with balconies and lighted pathways, the Caribbean-styled guest rooms of the Reach offer a truly relaxing change of pace. Duval Street and all the Old Town attractions are nearby. Complimentary shuttle service is offered to and from Key West International Airport. Guests are free to use the amenities of the nearby historic Wyndham Casa Marina Resort, just 3 blocks away.
