Independent, Marathon hotels

"Clean room, easy check in and check out. "

"Loved the Villa. Loved the pools and resort. Loved the many activities for kids and adults. "

"Very nice place. Everything you need is around. The house is clean, beautiful and has everything you need. Very friendly and welcoming staff. We rented a boat here on very favorable terms and spent a wonderful day fishing and snorkeling on the reefs. We highly recommend this place."

"We had an excellent experience at Rainbow Bend. Staff was friendly, hospitable. Property was nice. My only “complaint” would be about the sargassum amounts, but that’s not resort’s fault. We would definitely come back! "

"This was our first time here. The property is beautiful! The kids LOVED playing at the main pool, lagoon & other pool w/ pirate ship splash pad. Our only complaint is the water in all these areas is very warm except the pool by the pirate ship. Maybe when they build the new water slide area they will include a system that keeps the water cool & refreshing. Food & drinks were delicious but also expensive. We mostly ordered from the main pool tiki bar/grill. Jacob & Tomas from Turkey were so friendly & provided excellent service! We tried Salt & Ash for a nice fancy dinner & were not disappointed. Breakfast in the cafe always had a long line so be prepared. They accidentally had us listed as taking our food to go even though we did not request that. They gave us a number to place on our table but the food never came out & sat at the counter forever until we finally inquired as to the wait. We assumed it was taking long bc they were so busy. So that was a bit disappointing. We had the family oasis room w/ bunk beds which was perfect for us. There isn’t a view (looks out to the back of a building), but that didn’t bother us since we were barely in our room. Beds were comfortable, the AC was cold & the shower hot. We spent 3 nights there & didn’t leave the property except for one time to have dinner at Lazy Days in Islamorada which was so good. Though there are some areas that can be improved, overall we had a wonderful trip & look forward to coming back."

"This property is right on the water and it’s fun to go snorkeling and rent kayaks and paddle boards or just grab some relaxation"

"Clean, comfortable beds, attentive housekeeping, gym is nice. Pool is a little small. Service in the restaurant is extremely slow, and they need to work on better coffee service. "

"The pool and surrounding areas were nice. Great sunset view. Liked that it was close to the Turtle Hospital!"

"Beautiful view. Several pools to choose from . Clean, smells wonderful, comfortable beds. The staff very nice. Only thing is they charge for parking $30.00"
