Marina Del Mar Resort and Marina

Lovely position overlooking the dockside. Manatee spotted in the dock two mornings out of three. Big room with adequate facilities and comfortable bed. Some of the electric sockets positively dangerous - exposed or hanging off.The room's balcony turned out to be a walkway open to everyone. Breakfast by the dockside was a nice setting but very limited prepacked stuff and paper/plastic plates and utensils. WiFi very fast when it was working but out of service the first night and staff not bothered. Car parking easy and free on site, if you can find a space. Nice food at Sharkey's next door.

The location and our room was exactly what it showed online.. I was very happy with the staff as we came to relax and did not get bothered ( in the room) once during our stay. The 2 restaurants we enjoyed, food and drinks 2 different nights.. the food was amazing.. spent a few hrs pool side one day and used the fitness area as well.

Loved the location- situated right on the marina. We even saw a dolphin and manatee from the hotel! Able to walk to our glass bottom boat tour (which started at the marina). Both restaurants next to the hotel were good. Lovely pool/spa. Comfortable and scenic breakfast area. The free breakfast was just okay - not really healthy or filling - but not terrible. Coffee was fine. Overall, very enjoyable experience!

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.
