Long time Platium member,Been to Marriotts all over the world, This Place Is Not A Marriott ,or some one in Management does not know whats going on here. I travel all the time; This trip was personal, The rooms are like shoe boxes, for get the beach the water pressure is like getting pissed on. The tiki bar closes at 7:00. One bartender that is also the waitress at Breezes.I think they spent more money on the web site pictures, then they did on maintenance on this place.DO NOT GO THERE; JW Would close this place in a heart beat, Bill open your eyes. I just read your book Spirit To Serve, Get back to Basics PLEASE !!!!. Thank God I have a contact at Platium services that got me out of here earlier then i was supposed to stay. I left Marco Island Marriott to come to this hell hole and i could of just stayed there, What was i thinking (must of been good marketing pics) got me don't let it happen to you.

My stay at this lovely relaxing Marriott was WAY too brief. I booked it as an overnight stay on my way to Key West and wish I had gotten there earlier in the day to enjoy the grounds. All the rooms have balconies facing the ocean, but despite the "obstruction" of the large restaurant building the view is great. The grounds are well kept and appealing.
The front desk was friendly, buffet breakfast was great, and the room had fabulous beds with a gorgeous marble bathroom. However the Tiki Bar had very slow service, smoke, & eventually had to go to the bar to get a drink. The sand beach is skimpy but adequate, and the elevator was not working (we were on the 3rd floor).
Even with the faults, I'd consider staying there again to get my money's worth.

We recently spend a few days for R & R on Key Largo. Since we like the consistent and reliable service at Marriott Hotels, we chose this one.

The good points:
Hotel was conveniently located on Route One with lots of restaurants nearby. The staff was very accommodating and they worked hard to please you. The rooms were fine and, the bedding comfortable. They have a nice pool area and small (really small) sunning beach. The bar at the pool was nice and we enjoyed lunch there a couple of times. You can also hire jet skis and go out on snorkel and scuba (shop on premises) trips.


The bad points:
Most of the grounds are paved over and you find cars parked everywhere. Our (second) room faced the bay but the view was of a parking lot and the restaurant. There are very few rooms that have an unobstructed view of the water. When you make your reservation, make sure you snag one of them. The management squeezed whatever they could onto this small, narrow property.
Traffic noise was everywhere. Route One is a busy, fast four-lane highway. All traffic that goes through the keys pass right in front of the hotel. Since the buildings are raised, (with parking underneath), the sound goes right through. Between the din of traffic on Route One and the constant in and out of trucks, cars and motorcycles, onto the property, it was difficult to relax on the grounds.Also, they managed to use the leaf blower to clean the grounds every time we went out to sit in the sun. A broom would have been much quieter. It was more of an inner city experience than a beach resort.. Definitely not Hawaii. I suppose this is a problem with most of the hotels on the Keys. Our fist room was adjacent to the highway and we had to move as you couldn't sit on the balcony and the road noise came into the room. The management was nice enough to give us a free upgrade, however.
The Tiki bar was like drinking in your garage. The view was OK but the atmosphere left a lot to be desired. We didn't eat in the restaurant, as there were much better choices nearby. The cigar smoke was also a problem.

Overall, our stay wasn't bad but not what I expected. If you are looking for a place to stay while you tour the Key's, this is fine. If you want to relax on the grounds and just unwind, I would find another hotel (far from the highway).

A very relaxing place to stay.

Due to a mess up with our reservation we ended up staying in 2 rooms; one was a 1 bed suite which was large though an odd configuration and very dark. I wouldnt recommend our room (101). The second was a 2 bed suite which was absolutely fantastic; huge space, great furnishings and an awesome view over thepool area and into the bay.

Both rooms were very clean and well maintained and overall the property was in very good condition. The beach is an artificial one and not very large but big enough.

The reception staff and hotel manager were all really great.
We ate in the restaurant one evening and all mornings and the food there was ok if nothing special. My children were disappointed that waffles were not available every morning on the buffet - apparently it is either waffles or pancakes in any one day not both!
They have an onsite facility for watersports and I also hired out a jet ski which was fine.

So all in all I'd recommend it , and have only knocked off one star because of room mix up/slightly sub par 1 bed suite and a restaurent experience which was nothing special.
