  • BLUE FLAMINGO GUIDE

Pool days take on a new meaning at Blue Flamingo Resort. With two pools, luxury cabanas, and a vibe that’s always on, it’s the kind of place where one drink turns into three and an hour by the water becomes a whole afternoon. Whether you’re staying with us or just stopping by for the day, here’s your guide to doing it right.

Two Pools for Swim & Sun

All hotel guests enjoy complimentary access to both of our pools, which anchor The Backyard Pool & Social Club—the heart of the resort. Expect resort-style vibes with a playful twist: palm-shaded loungers, tropical tunes, lawn games galore, and food & drink flowing all day long. Not staying overnight? You can still enjoy our pools by booking a Day Pass on ResortPass for access to our lounge chairs and common areas. It’s the perfect way to get a taste of the Blue Flamingo lifestyle—even just for the day.

Luxury Poolside Cabanas

For the full VIP treatment, reserve one of our luxury poolside cabanas, available both on-property and via ResortPass. Each comes stocked with:

  • A mini fridge
  • A flat-screen TV
  • Shaded seating and sun loungers
  • Poolside service from our poolside staff

Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, a bachelorette, or just want your own little oasis, cabanas are always the right call.

Eat & Drink

No pool day is complete without cocktails—and we’ve got two ways to sip in style:

Toasted Coconut

Mornings taste better poolside. Start your day at Toasted Coconut, our poolside restaurant serving breakfast favorites, fresh coffee, and island-inspired bites under the palms. Think omelettes, french toast, and iced lattes to ease into the day, then transition to midday salads, tacos, and tropical cocktails once the sun’s high. Whether you’re fueling up for adventure or just posting up by the pool, this is all-day chill done right.

Rum Row

Steps from the pool, Rum Row is where the island spirit kicks in. Order a frozen daiquiri, rum punch, or local beer, grab a seat at the bar, and let the good times roll.  Island-inspired cocktails, light bites, and the best happy hour in Key West. The Rum Row food truck keeps things easy with Key West classics like pizza, conch fritters, and crispy fries—perfect for late afternoons or post-swim cravings. Equal parts lively and laid-back, Rum Row is your go-to spot for that golden-hour buzz that only Key West can deliver. From piña coladas to mojitos, we’re pouring the good stuff from open to close.

Events & Entertainment

At Blue Flamingo, there’s always something happening poolside. Depending on the day, you might catch:

  • Live music sets
  • Guest DJs spinning poolside
  • Sunday Funday featuring Bottomless mimosa & bloody mary specials
  • Seasonal events and holiday parties

Lawn Games & Social Vibes

Between dips, challenge your crew to cornhole, bocce, or putting green showdowns on our event lawn. Or just lounge, people-watch, and soak in the tropical vibes with a cocktail in hand.
