Good base for the Keys

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 25 Aug 2024via mobile
We stayed a couple of nights and used a base/midpoint for exploring the keys.

Nice, large room with a separate bedroom and kitchen/lounge area. Comfortable bed and all very clean

Complimentary breakfast was an unexpected bonus.

Nice pool area too.

Really friendly staff.

Easy for us to get in through our Exploria timeshare and always a fun place to stay for the week of my birthday. We have stayed here before and will come back in the future. The inside of our room was clean as before. We had a 1 bedroom with a pull out couch, and full kitchen. Big desk in bedroom to put all my stuff, and comfy to sit while working. Comfy bed with plenty of pillows. Limited supply of cooking utensil and needed a can opener. Called front desk, no answer so went to Plan B. They did call, but already had started cooking. Breakfast every morning. Others online had complained about the choices, but we were happy the meal was made for us and we didn't have to do dishes. The pizza was great for a snack at night. The tiki bar definitley didn't hold back on alcohol. Fun choices and great bartenders. Plenty of parking in July/August. Went Sombero Beach which was very clean and had restrooms. Try the Islmorada Distillery and Brewery. Great drinks, food, and plenty of cans and bottles to take home. Went down to the Keys to restock alcohol from the Key West Rum distillery and ate lunch for the first time at the Boathouse. Oh, we'll be back. 1/2 price apps during the day!!

Really nice stay. My husband and I were meeting up with friends for a charter. They mentioned that they were staying at Skipjack, so I gave Skipjack a call. They were able to get us in and I was even able to bring my small dog. We had a fabulous time and the food there is great. The room was clean and it was amazing to have a small fridge and microwave. We will definitely return when go back to Marathon. They even gave us a Florida rate since we live in Florida… NICE!

Room tip: Ask for Florida rate Great continental breakfast included. They have carts to help you carry your stuff to the room

Great time esoecially at pool with fun coordinator, Maggie. Lots of great games and fun personality. The room was spacious and clean. Enjoyed all the outdoor fun they offer from bikes to pickleball.
But would come.back for all the fun around the pool and the great bar staff.

Had a ton of fun at the pool. Maggie managed to turn an average August day into a game filled blast. Started with some pool golf, followed by some splash pong, then some music trivia, and finally a little more splash pong. Can’t emphasize enough how friendly and charismatic Maggie was at her job.

Terrible place,do not recommend. I checked in late and had to go on a scavenger hunt for my room key that they "taped to a garbage can" . Staff is rude when any concern is brought to their attention,never once got brought clean towels.
The parking lot got so flooded after a rainstorm that it damaged my friends car that was also staying here.
It also caused the sewage to backup so I couldn't flush the toilet.
Dock master leaves daily at 5pm so even though your paying to use the ramp to launch you have to resort to another ramp to come back in after 5pm .
Also couldn't launch my boat in low tide which I understand with their ramp being so low,but they still charged me to have "my boat on the trailer" even though I had to go pay 50$ to launch at another ramp three times between a dockmaster not being available and tides while also paying their 35$ daily fee when I couldn't even use the ramp,nor come back after 5!!
If your paying a daily fee you shouldn't be cut short at 5pm especially when high tide is later and thats the only time you can come back to their ramp per their rules...5pm is way too early to have to worry about rushing back.
If you have a boat you're bringing,do not stay here.
My family stayed at blackfin and had the best time with no problems

Room tip: Ran down,pictures make this place look alot better than it really is.
