Hi,

My daughter has her heart set on a Fla beach wedding at either Key West - one of the hotels e.g. Hilton or Captiva/South Seas. I haven't seen either place - any recommendations?

Dave

First of all there are VERY FEW beaches in Key west so you need to consider that.

Sanibel (I like to call it Sleepybell) has beuatiful beaches, but keep in mind it is a VERY QUIET Area!

Your really looking at 2 very different type of places!

Dave is correct. The 2 locations are so entirely different in regarding the feel and ambiance. Also an absent of beaches in Key West. On a personal note I would choose Captiva. It is a beautiful beach, and location for a wedding. Just my opinion.

Dan

Ditto to both previous posts. If the wedding party wants to party go to Key West, if they want a quiet romantic setting with beautiful beaches South Seas. Good Luck to the couple!

I took a honeymoon on Captiva Island. Got divorced a few years later. Take it for what it is worth.

I've been to both and I would definitely choose Captiva/Sanibel. Key West is a party town and the beaches are manmade. Captiva/Sanibel has beautiful beaches and is very quiet.

James

Both are nice choices but I would choose Key West over the other only because there is so much more to do AND nothing beats the sunset there for a backdrop in those wedding photos! Have a great time!

I agree with choosing Key West. While the beaches are man made, they are nice none the less and would be beautiful setting for a wedding.

Captiva gets my vote. Key West is fun for partying and scuba. Captiva is peaceful, gorgeous beaches and water - and seems classier to me.

If my daughter were getting married on a FL beach, I'd go to panhandle - Seaside. But between Key West and Captiva - CAPTIVA!
