Marina Del Mar Resort and Marina

The staff was very accommodating when we had to change our reservation from two to one night due to problem with our cruise. It was very nice having the water view and the restaurant/bar adjacent to the property. The grounds and exterior are very well maintained considering the location on water. We would definately return and stay at this location. It is great for a family or group traveling in the vicinity.

We had a Marina view room on the 4th floor! We enjoyed and took advantage of the onsite options for food "Skippers and the Holiday Inn next door, walking distance" we also liked the fact that we had a Thai Restaurant, Cuban Restaurant "Denny's" both 2 minutes away from the hotel on Overseas Highway "the main two way road you travel on to get to the hotel" both of these eateries were reasonable and the food was excellent! We used our stay as a Recon for our next trip down, we do have a nephew that lives here in Key Largo off of Hammock with his family 5 minutes from the hotel. We drove south 2 hours over the 7 Mile Bridge. Stopped at Marathon Beach, Big Pine, Bahia State Park, Tavenier just to name a few. Next time its all the way down to the end and we will choose to stay at Mariana De Mar again as our hub and drive south. We searched hotel names we saw as we passed them on our way south and found most to be very expensive. Our current price of $250.00 a night at marina Del Mar was within our vacation budget for our stay considering our excursion plans and the Rental Car cost we drove down from Palm Bay where our trip started from. Our search had revealed a $325.00 to as high as $600.00 a night stay for what? There was no Breakfast being served in bed, no butler or maid, no foot or back massages, etc being advertised at these other "hotels" so we were very pleased with our choice... Marina Del Mar may be dated in appearance. This was probably the Shea Shea back in the day when it went up and opened! Rooms was clean, linen clean no stains, bathroom clean, hot & cold water worked, water pressure good, TV Cable was packed with channels, fridge in room held and kept our beer and water cold. Staff was very friendly and attentive... Overall we had a relaxing, kicked back Getaway!

Our room was clean and roomy, although the facility does needs some updating here and there. However, nothing that affected our comfort, just some cosmetic issues, and they are clearly working hard to make improvements. Breakfast was typical "continental" style, and we ate there once or twice, and out a few times for more variety. The location was amazing, and so easy to get to where we wanted to go, as well as being right on the marina, so the wildlife was super fun to observe each and every day. Maid service was excellent and we had LOADS of towels every day, and the staff was very helpful and offered some great suggestions for local dining and sight seeing.

Although I know the area well, I didn't realize the property was in the "Fishing Village" with 1 restaurant on property and another just outside the exit. Skippers (on property) was great! The staff was friendly and the service felt much higher end than you would expect. Fresh fish on the menu and you couldn't ask for anything more. Short walk back to the room. Access to pools at the adjacent properties (which we didn't have time to use), and centrally located close to everything you want to do in Key Largo, short drive to Islamorada.

We loved Miguel at the front desk, including over the phone prior. The location is great: Not on the busy main rd., but close to it and a big park. My husband enjoyed the marina view/actionthere. Our room was nice and comfortable for 4 with a bigger fridge. I loved the Holiday Inn pool/jacuzzi/gym privileges, although we ended up using Marina’s more. Free breakfast was worth it for our family. (Not all in KL have free parking either.)
