Key Largo, Florida, USA Holiday Review - A Golden Key

Submitted by: Ramona
Date of travel: 25-April-2007

The Beach Boys sang of the Florida Keys and stated that they were the place to holiday. The most beautiful sand, exotic beaches, tropical drink delights, and steel drum music bands. Well, they truly knew much about the places of which they sang. A few months passed my husband and I took the children on Holiday the family to Key Largo for pure beach perfection and we achieved it. To commence our hotel was the most splendid structure that I have ever seen. We took temporary residence at Key Largo Grande Resort and Beach club for six nights and five days. Although we were exhausted from travel our bodies could not convince our minds to take rest because we wanted to explore it. It was a massive building with in door and out door pools and restaurants. It was right on the beach so we had swim time before it became too dark. There were lights and vendors all long the ocean front and we danced and dined to music on our very first night. At the Hotel we saw a bride in her spectacular wedding gown enter a room. They did the ceremony in the hotel. Not too far from the Hotel was the Everglades National Park. The children cherished seeing the wildlife and plant life and pointed out alligator eyes with the tour guide. For a night we left the children with the local babysitting assistance and my husband and I enjoyed a single night in Miami. It is a glamorous as everyone describes. Key Largo was island paradise at its best. Nature trails, Jet Skiing, and white sand beaches gave us the feel of perfect tranquility. I would not mind being stranded on this island.
