We stayed at tropical cottages in Marathon Florida. The staff treat you like family. It was clean, quiet friendly. The tiki bar was a happen in a little place. The food truck served amazing food. It was a little Community with friendly neighbors and the space to be alone.it was an amazing experience 10 out of 10.

Clean room & very comfortable bed. Family style atmosphere despite the tiki bar, not exactly our style but great for families! Perfect location and one of the best places to stay in Marathon. No beach view or access though.
This is at best a 2 star location, old, outdated, overpriced

The location is great - walk to local restaurants/bars. The most comfortable bed of the trip - amazing!
The bathroom let it down, in need of updating. We were in Cottage 5 and the shower was very poor and overall condition of the bathroom was not good.
The onsite Tiki Bar was a great addition and the Taco truck. Sadly the promised coffee in the morning didn’t happen as the coffee machine was broken, so we had to walk out to find a local coffee shop.
Room was great and clean. Had a sweet cat that roamed the premises. Parking is limited to 1 vehicle but that was fine. Definitely would stay there again!
House keeping inconsistent. Unable to communicate with hotel admin after checkin for room necessities.

This operation was pretty solid, and the cabin was nice and clean. Parking is close to cabins, which made it easy for me to load/unload bags and scuba gear. Staff was friendly, and works hard at keeping the grounds spotless and full of life. Would recommend, and plan on going back.
