We love sharing the inside scoop on the best of Key West from the locals and today we are doing just that by talking with The Marker Resort’s DOS Megan Coccitto!
We had the opportunity to chat with Megan to find out more about what she loves to do on her days off and to sum it up - It’s about family, friends and enjoying life on the island and everything it has to offer. During the week she is working hard to introduce you to our resort, now we have the opportunity to introduce you to Megan and some of her favorite Key West hot spots, restaurants and must see and do’s while visiting paradise.

Q. Must see and do for visitors taking a family vacation Key West?
A. Dry Tortugas – it’s fascinating to see what people could build back in the civil war days and to learn how they lived out on an island miles away from land, plus it’s pure beauty. The Conch Tour Train – Key West has so much history you don’t want to miss. And, a sunset cruise. This is the best place to see the sunset!
Q. Tell us about happenings at The Marker Resort. What are some of the things happening at the resort guests need to know about?
A. We are right on the historic harbor front where you can walk out your front door and jump on a snorkel boat, sunset cruise or fishing charter, and only 3 blocks from the main nightlife of Duval Street. We have monthly pool parties with live music and a great happy hour daily from 3:30pm – 630pm. Guests also get complimentary champagne hour from 8pm – 9pm at Cero Bodega where you can enjoy our poolside fireplace before hitting the town!

Key West is a haven for food lovers, and its Cuban sandwich is a standout delight that shouldn't be missed. Recently, Sandy's Cafe took home the prestigious title of Best Cuban Sandwich at the 2024 Key West Bubba Awards (it’s our version of the People’s Choice Awards) and also won Best Traditional Cuban Sandwich at the 3rd Annual Cuban Sandwich Throwdown.
