Margaritaville Beach House Key West announced today that the oceanfront resort was named a winner in Good Housekeeping’s 2026 Travel Awards. The full list of awards can be found on goodhousekeeping.com/travel2026.

Tucked along iconic Smathers Beach, Margaritaville Beach House Key West captures the island’s carefree energy with ocean views, spacious suites, and a laid-back yet elevated vibe perfect for families. Guests enjoy poolside entertainment, lawn games, and kids’ activities, along with easy access to snorkeling, kayaking, and other waterfront adventures. The resort’s Tin Cup Chalice Bar & Chill serves up tropical favorites and fresh local fare, while its outdoor gardens and event Tiki make every celebration feel like paradise.  The complimentary shuttle provides access to both the Key West International Airport and historic Downtown Seaport Harbor.

To find the best destinations, Good Housekeeping enlisted the help of more than 125 travel testers - — including GH staff, travel industry experts and trained consumer evaluators— to assess hundreds of travel experiences and services across five continents. Each tester completed a detailed survey and shared photos and videos from their trip. When evaluating hotels and resorts, testers rated everything from service, value and food to entertainment, room design, and overall vibe. Destination evaluations also considered the appeal of attractions, accessibility, lodging variety and safety.

In the Good Housekeeping Institute’s Labs, engineers, scientists and product analysts rigorously tested travel gear and accessories to evaluate performance, durability and ease of use. The team considered factors such as innovation, value and convenience, while 116 consumer testers put products to the ultimate test during real-world travel by car, bus, train and plane — both domestically and abroad. From beach getaways and city explorations to camping adventures and beyond, the testers’ experiences helped identify the most reliable, functional and stylish items.

“We’re thrilled to be honored by Good Housekeeping for our family-friendly spirit and signature Key West hospitality,” said Regional Director of Operations Milos Davidovic. “Whether guests are exploring the island, relaxing by the pool, or sharing stories over a sunset cocktail, we’re proud to create moments that reflect the fun, warmth, and easygoing charm that make this destination so special.”
