Our second stay at Big Ruby's was just as great as last years. A very nice property on an excellent location. Just on the corner of Duval. Nicely decorated room (a little small for 2 persons and 4 suitcases), tasty breakfast, nice refreshing pool and the famous jacuzzi. We stayed here during the Tropical Heat weekend. Unfortunately we had to... more

There are a lot of good things to say about Big Ruby's. First it is a 30 second walk to Duval Street. The staff was very helpful with everything we needed and quik to clean the rooms in the morning ... and even picked up and folded the clothing we'd left on the floor tone morning. Breakfast was plentiful and... more

Big Ruby's was a great place to stay in Key West. The location alone, 1 block from duval street, is reason alone to stay there. The host, Michael, went above and beyond in giving us the "low-down" on Key West happenings. The made to order breakfast was very tasty and included in the price. The rooms were updated, clean, and... more

This was the third time that my partner and I have stayed at Big Ruby's. We love the laid back atmosphere, full breakfast and location. They have a great pool area, a seperate sun yard and seperate hot tub area. The grounds are quite even though you are located just steps from Duval Street. Rooms are very clean with very... more

My partner and I stayed at Big Ruby's for a couple of days in early April. Michael showed us around the place and was very helpful in getting us reservations for that evening. Our room was clean and bright with a lovely, private porch in the front of the house. The bathroom was small, but had a nice size glass... more

We live in South Florida and have stayed at Big Ruby's for several years. We've always been, for the most part, pleased with every visit. We've actually stayed at other properties on the island, and have since returned to Big Ruby's. Pros: Beautiful property with a variety of room options, small and big. Well landscaped. Nice main-house and lobby. Generally... more

My partner and I just returned from a week at Big Ruby's. We've been staying there for ten years and have loved every trip. The staff is always friendly and very helpful (arranging snorkeling trips, dinner reservations, special requests). The property has grown and improved over the years. A new in-ground hot tub was added since our last trip. It's... more

Having stayed at Big Ruby's twice before, my partner and I were looking forward to our vacation in Key West. While the overall atmosphere continues to change and attract more straight couples, it seem the quality of service at Big Ruby's has been heading in the same direction. Last time we stayed there, Brad and David (he only works on... more

After reading the last two glowing reviews (from people who stayed just a couple of nights), I felt the need to write a more detailed and thorough review. I had a decent time during my brief July stay at the property, but the longer you stay, well...read on. Pros: (1) Great location right off Duval. The best location of any... more

3 Couples and one girl went to Ruby's for Spring Break! Pros - Location: Right off Duval, near Walgreens so if you forgot anything you can walk and get it. It's in the heart of it all! - Food / Drink: Breakfast was SO good. We ate poolside and ordered off of a menu. I prefer to be served than... more
