“Nice for a Motor Hotel but not a Resort”

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”

Marriott Key Largo Bay Beach Resort

Save Review
4 of 5 stars
UK expat
22 May 2008

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.

Hotel is absolutely beautiful. Right on the main road, easy to find, lots of amenities. The room was beautiful and comfortable. Within easy distance of all local attractions.

“Nice stay, Friendly service”

Marriott Key Largo Bay Beach Resort

1 May 2008

My step mom and my two children and I stayed for a couple days. The hotel is older, but clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was expensive, but we did have breakfast there and it was good. I would stay there again and would recommend it to others.

“Wonderfull Stay, Sans the Beach”

Marriott Key Largo Bay Beach Resort

Save Review
4 of 5 stars
New York, NY
1 May 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

Just came back from Marriot in Key Largo. Overall everything was wonderfull. Very clean, modern rooms (we had beach view), marble shower, new bedding. prompt service, GORGEOUS GROUNDS, plenty of space and chairs by the pool. Feels like Carribean resort: secluded, huge property. The pool itself is big and clean. There are 3 restaurants on the property. The funny things is that they all serve the same (90% the same) food. However, we enjoyed our breakfast at Gus's grill, had decent lunch there as well (you must try that bread they serve with it! Try the one with sesami seeds!) We also stepped by Cafe (Breezers? I think) for a midnight drink after dinner.
Now one down side: if you love the ocean like I do, forget all said above. There is no ocean. There are 2 small beaches on the property, but the sand is not real and you can't swim in the ocean (very shallow, a lot of small fish and grass) every time I tried to get in, I came out promptly after stepping on the sleezy grass. Yaks! So, we mostly stayed at the beach, but went swimming in the pool right behind us. However, I heard that Florida Keys don't have decent beaches in general, so its not the hotel but rather location overall that failed to deliver in this case. Other comments: For restaurants nearby, I recommed Fish House (there are 2 of them right next to each other, I liked the one with outside seating "Encore" Fish House), Big Chill is nice too (huge portions), SunDowners was great as well (all these places are within 1-3 minutes drive from hotel)
