10.0 Wonderful
Pros:the private beach is perfect to sit and have coffee or watch the sunset.
N
9.1 Wonderful
Pros:Location and value are the best aspects of this establishment. The staff was friendly also.
Cons:The floors in the room were dirty. Walk across them with wet feet and the bottom of your feet would be black. It seems like they vacuum regularly, but not mop.
A
8.8 Very good
Pros:Cabanna bar was great and Ryan was wonderful.. After a small issue with the room AC we had a very pleasant stay.
Cons:Quite disappointed with the unadvertised "Resort fee" that was tacked on to our bill upon checkout.
A
8.0 Very good
Pros:Good location near the west end of Marathon. Nice pool and hot tub. Rooms were nice.
Cons:Marathon FL still recovering from hurricane IRMA in 2017. That said Banana Bay was in good shape, and almost fully functioning. The restaurant was closed and the manager told me it would be some time before it was running again. Our AC didn’t completely work, but I alerted the front desk and they had it fixed the next day.
A
10.0 Wonderful
Pros:Very updated rooms!
Cons:Tiki bar wasn’t open long. No microwaves in room. Beach was very small.
A
7.7 Good
Pros:Rooms were updated with good wifi. TV was good. Shower was great. Pool was very good. Gulfside view was great from beach area.location in middle of Marathon is very convenient
Cons:No comfortable chairs. Pool, though large, was shared with Marina guests and adjacent Beach Club guests...may have to walk a ways to pool or Beach area. Not a beach that you can swim at.
A
6.8 Okay
Pros:Location was nice water view was pretty. Rooms were clean, but the floors were dirty. Staff was friendly.
Cons:Well it's been 2 weeks and since the "system was down" at checkout I was informed my receipt would be emailed to me. Still waiting. Tiki bar was very limited beer and wine and closed at 6:30pm.
A
9.4 Wonderful
Pros:Nice property with clean rooms. Great spot to see sunset and a very nice large pool. Beach is small rocky and too close to Marina.
Cons:Beach too close to Marina. Property really for boater transients so mainly older retired people.
A
5.7 Fair
Pros:Rooms were updated, clean and comfortable.
Cons:Property is run down and in need of updateing and cleaning.
A
4.0 Mediocre
Pros:Grounds are nice despite needing some maintenance. Direct access to marina. Cute but minimal room decor.
Cons:Understaffed. Front desk manager rude and incompetent. Room not serviced prior to arrival or for entire length of stay. Expect to be told by the front house manager that you're lying about room issues, especially if requesting your room to be serviced, needing towels or amenities. Aggressive mosquitos on the grounds, in the hallways, and especially in the rooms, so the room patios are useless. No pool/water activity towels, so expect to hoard bath towels in your room. Contrary to the hotel's sales pitch from their reservation agents at B Hotels, there are no bikes included with your resort fee. In fact, absolutely nothing is provided for your resort fee. Overpriced for the quality of accommodations and extreme lack of service. Feels like a cheap motel that was nicely renovated, but kept the same staff and same poor level of service (read: none).
