We stayed at Equator last week for at least the tenth time. We watch them build it 15 or so years ago and it has only improved over the years. The management and employees are consistent, welcoming and very effecient. The rooms are always clean, cool and welcoming. We've never been disappointed. Of course you cannot plan who the other...

Really enjoyed my stay for some mid-winter r&r and sunshine. The pool area and decks are well maintained and are great for relaxing in a tropical atmosphere. The breakfast options were reasonable/average, but was a big plus just to walk out and enjoy it. Also liked the evening happy hours. Great chance to have a beverage and talk to some... More

The discreet entrance opens to a very friendly and welcoming resort. The pool and common areas are well thought out and maximise the sun. A generous breakfast (included) al fresco on a bright tropical Keys morning is a real treat. Special mention needs to go to Billy and Jay who have a great knack of immediately making you feel at...

This place is a gem! You have quite a few options for gay resorts in Key West but this one simple exceeds the rest! The resort is situated on Fleming Street - one of the most beautiful on the island. Close enough to the "scene" but far enough away for an afternoon siesta. The rooms are spacious and clean and... More

2012 was our 5th year at The Equator. The staff is excellent !! Friendly, Helpful, Funny and just plain delightful. Rooms are clean. Pool and Hot tub are sparkling clean. Great atmosphere. Nice upper deck to tan all those hard to reach places. Love these guys. Won't consider any other place to stay in Key West. Yes. It's that good. More

My partern and I have stayed at the Equator many times and will return again and again. We visit Key West frequently and would not consider staying anywhere else. The staff, Gary, Rocco, Billy and Jay do everything possible to make our visit pleasant. They are always willing to offer advise or make reservations for you at local venues. Like... More

Having stayed here several times, my partner and myself were disappointed this time around. The room was never mopped during our entire visit. We had to wash our feet before going to bed since the floor was so filthy. The breakfast has been reduced to stale bagels. Very rowdy and noisy guests prevented us from sleeping. When the management was... More

OK place. Hopefully you probably won't spend a lot of time in your room. The othe guests are cordial and some are actually quite friendly. I would only recommend as a second or third choice. More

The latest trip for me and my partner was December 2010. The new upper sun deck was just added, it's nice, a little secluded. The pool is not really small, but you can't do laps. I just get in the hot tub, switch to the pool to cool off, and back to hot tub. We've met some nice guys, some... More
