Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa
Ocean was stunning from our room and the staff was always helpful; the food was delicious no matter if you ate at the bar or the incredible ocean side restaurant. Overall the Isla Bella did not disappoint and was the perfect escape.

resort staff didn't explain amenities upon checking in. wasn't aware of daily activities without passing by one area that had free water. the lagoon and pool were great. would recommend the pool be open later. Donny was a great staff member to receive suggestions from.

Lime Tree Bay Resort
View was great, clean room and towels; bar and grill on property. Quiet for most part, limited beach access but chairs, games, shade, pool, dock were nice. Easy ck in and out, parking convenient. Very near other keys in both directions but smaller island and quiet.

Courtyard by Marriott Faro Blanco Resort, Marathon Florida Keys
Chair in front the desk look like someone went to the bathroom in it and was NEVER cleaned during our week long stay. Plus 20.00 a day to park and 35.00 a day resort fee was nothing but a joke. We won't be back.

Kingsail Resort
It’s such a nice quiet place on a nice property. Manatees came right up to the dock and played with us! The pool is well maintained and the rooms may be older ( keysie) but very clean. Many places outside to sit and relax and it has a boat launch and docks also.
