Key West, Mile Marker 0 Where to Stay For couples, The Marker Resort ($295 a night) is close to the action on Duval Street. Opened in 2014, the Marker features free rum punch in the lobby and a "Conchierge" to help with all your planning needs. Casa Marina ($259 a night) is the family favorite in Key West — kids love the sand-sculpting classes. Key West, Mile Marker 0 Believe it or not, it wasn’t until 2013 that Key West — where drinking is the unofficial sport and the motto is “where the weird go pro” — got its first legal rum distillery. Opened by chef, pro kiteboarder and now distiller Paul Menta, Key West Legal Rum uses Florida sugar cane and other local ingredients, and Key limes are sourced from friends’ trees.
