Terrific vacation week at The Galleon RCI resort. Condo clean/spacious/had on-site beach. To do: Hemmingway House, Conch Train Tour, Atocha Museum, Key West Aquarium, Lighthouse Museum. Great kid vacation, but also had fun with nightlife at Sloppy Joe's.

Best Things Nearby:
Hemmingway House, Conch Train tour, Mel Fisher Museum (Atocha artifacts), Key West Aquarium, Lighthouse Museum, Sloppy Joe's, shopping.

Best Things About the Resort:
Spacious, clean, nicely decorated, on-site beach, some activities on site, walking distance from shopping.

Resort Experience:
Small resort. Has bar area, which had parties and other activities going on (not much for kids, though). Key West doesn't have much in the way of beaches, so the very small on-site beach was a plus.

Activity

Live bands every night, but it can get crowded as evening goes on. During the week, it is ok to bring kids to listen to the band, but as the evening progresses, it gets kind of wild. Weekend bands are definitely adults-only.
