Hawks Cay Resort
Our reservation was changed from a suite at the resort to a villa away from the resort amenities. The villa was sparsely stocked kitchen, very steep stairs and a queen bed verses the king we reserved.

Lime Tree Bay Resort
The room was amazing. Bed was the most comfortable bed ever! Property was beautiful but due to Mother Nature with the seaweed and smell that was completely out of their hands and impossible to deal with. Would definitely stay here again!

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Marathon Florida Keys
Staff was excellent and the facility was clean. However we were surprised to learn of an additional $20 per day to park our vehicle in their lot. You don’t get a parking spot included with your room fee.

Courtyard by Marriott Faro Blanco Resort, Marathon Florida Keys
The air conditioning was awful!! LOUD. the vent was next to the bed so every time it cut in it woke us up. Also there was something in the vent that was rattling. Worst sleep ever.

Kingsail Resort
This was a good place to stay. The staff is very helpful and nice. The free morning coffee is excellent. The room was cleanish...lots of debris in the room corners and along the walls, and there was someone's dirty footprints on the wall near the bed, but clean otherwise. I took a star off my rating ...
