<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/hyatt_keywest.png" class="imgborder"> Relaxation and indulgence is getting a social conscience down at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hyatt+Key+West+Resort+&+Marina/ian/117616">Hyatt Key West Resort & Marina</a> as part of its new Jala Spa facility due to open this month. The Jala Spa (that means "water" in Sanskrit, apparently) is just one part of a $10m redesign.The spa itself sounds a bit on the small side--just two treatment rooms and three poolside spa cabanas--but the Hyatt wants you not only to feel good yourself but to feel you're doing good too. So they have this special deal with Reef Relief to donate $5 of every Jala Blue treatment price to protect the coral reefs around Key West. And just to follow the green theme, the Hyatt

<![CDATA[<img align="right" src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/ronjeremy_daysinn.jpg">We thought we'd seen it all--especially at the <a href="http://www.daysinn.com/DaysInn/control/Booking/property_info?propertyId=06582">Days Inn</a> in Key West, where the tropical print bedspreads hold more DNA than the crime lab in Langley. But then we were told that porn star Ron Jeremy was in the house. That's right. Porn star--or legend, depending on your perception---Jeremy was 'put up' at the vile Days Inn in Key West last Thursday night. Jeremy was a, uh, headliner, for the city's x-rated Mardi Gras festivities known as <a href="http://www.fantasyfest.net/">Fantasy Fest.</a> After an appearance at a Duval Street watering hole for the Pimps 'n' Ho's party, Jeremy retreated to the comfort of his Days Inn motel room.
