If you are looking for just a laid-back escape travel destination that you cannot just feel free and get away of everything, but in fact be away from everything and still stay in the United States, Key West might be for you. You'll find a few cheaper places where you can stay, but as for just about any hot travel destination accommodations are going to be a bit on the expensive side. Hotel rates can be very seasonal, but in April for example expect to pay between $100 and $150 each night and get a nice place. There are a couple of alternatives to get there, and neither is fast or effortless. It is possible to fly in from Miami, Orlando or Atlanta, however the airplanes tend to be small (as a result of the undersized airport in Key West) plus the prices in general won't be inexpensive. Motoring from Miami is in reality a great choice, since most of the route is very beautiful and rather not like anyplace within the country. It comes down to a 3.5 hour drive, and sometimes gas inside the keys is not cheap, either. There will be car rental possibilities at the Key West terminal, but the total size of Key West is merely approximately 2 miles by 4 miles, hence you probably will not be doing a great deal of driving if you remain there for your visit. After you finally arrive you will probably either love the place or think one visit is plenty. It certainly is not surprising that artists like Hemingway and Tennessee Williams spent a lot of time here. There's game fishing and several top-notch food choices available to you, although it's really the ambiance that sets it apart. To start with, I couldn't say Key West is a very kid-friendly of spots. When scouting out places to stay you will discover many that describe themselves "adults only". That basically implies no kids. It's a place that caters more to grownups who want some peace and quiet, plus a stress-free place to hang out. Should you prefer to lie in the sun minus clothes, there is that available. But they are only within specific areas, so if that is not to your liking you won't unexpectedly be floored. When you are vacationing with the kids, I'd instead recommend Orlando to the north. You will notice a few bed-and-breakfasts, but the all-inclusive plans like you'll find in Mexico and other parts of Latin America haven't hit here yet. But the best part of Key West is the isolation from your real world and also the opportunity to meet up with other people who're as well looking to get a break from the everyday grind. Whenever you travel, whether it's finding opportunities for fun in Orlando or anywhere you go, saving money on hotels will be a great help to curtailing expenses.
