Family-friendly Hotels in Marathon

I booked two rooms for our friends both rooms were clean and the location was nice but our room the tv did not work well we called three times over two days yet got no responce.the most disapointing part was the resort facilities were not open the pool bar we never saw open and the bar at the waters edge was only open twice we called and was told the bartender couldn’t make it. We found TJs down the road and spent some evenings at that resort. The breakfast was not enjoyed by anyone in our party. I cannot recommend this resort.

We have stayed in hundreds of hotels big and small over the years. If you are expecting a “resort” you will be disappointed. But if you are looking for a very good overnight stay, you will be very satisfied. The positives: clean property and room, large room, comfortable bed, clean linens, friendly and accommodating staff(other than the large man at registration), close to the very few eating places in Marathon(not many places to eat other than fast food-YUCK!), quiet room, nice deck to sit on away from traffic on the rear of the property next to the water, excellent quiet a/c. The negatives: nothing. We would gladly stay there again.

We booked a week at Skipjack Resort with high hopes because of the reasonable cost and its proximity to Key West ... and we weren't disappointed. Quick disclaimer: If you're looking for a resort with a great view of the ocean, go someplace else. If you're on the third floor, you can probably get a glimpse of it from your patio. The marina on the other side, however, is quite picturesque, especially at sunset. Everything else, however, was top-notch. The front-desk staff was friendly and helpful. The beach chairs and umbrella we checked out several times were free, the pool was clean and the tiki bar was well-stocked (with live music on the weekends). Our two-room suite appeared to have been recently renovated. It was clean, had two TVs, a microwave and a fridge, along with a very comfortable king bed. There are plenty of great resaturants and several grocery stores in the vicitinty on Marathon and with Key West just an hour's drive away, we were able to get there and back twice during our week. One other tip: If you're going to the beach, skip nearby Sombrero Beach. It was very small and there was way too much sea**** in the water and washed up on the shore. I recommend driving over the Seven Mile Bridge to the Bahia Honda State Park. It will cost you a fee to get in, but the beach is much better ... and there's a concession stand and bathrooms there as well. All-in-all, it was a very enjoyable week. I recommend Skipjack Resort enthusiastically!

The front desk is a converted car office, just parked on the side of the road, very easy to find. After work at 5 pm, we arrived at 6 o'clock, and the staff put the key and map of the passenger late in the envelope with the name of the user. Place the envelope in the box in front of the office. When I checked out in the morning, I didn’t have time to go to work. I also put the letter and put it back in the same place.

We were a bit worried upon arriving to the hotel because it looked more like a motel, but it turned out that there are also 2-stories houses of 8 rooms each (4 on each floor, facing both ways) and that’s where our room was. Well I don’t know about the motel-like rooms, but the ones in the little houses (and ours) were charming, very cosy, clean, comfortable and in good condition. Each room has a shared balcony with the room next door. Ours was on the first floor so that we had nothing but the clear blue sky above our heads while eating the grab-and-go breakfast (porridge, yoghurt, orange, apple juice and mini blueberry muffin): simple, nice and nourishing. Small flaws: 1) the mattresses were a little too soft. Not sure if that was intentional or if they were a bit tired; 2) the front door was a bit stuck, we had to push it hard to open it; 3) the hotel is located near an airport where helicopters routinely take of or land late at night or early in the morning. Can be quite noisy. A very enjoyable stay all-in-all. I recommend. Right next to it is the Brutus seafood restaurant that I also warmly recommend for its excellent food and nice staff (and cosy atmosphere), all for a reasonable price.
