Marina Del Mar Resort & Marina Key Largo

Perfectly located for scuba diving trip. Numerous dive boats within walking distance from hotel. Also, numerous eating opportunities within walking distance. I'd stay there again.

If you want to do a lot in a short amount of time, this is a great place. Located on the channel with "right out front" access to diving, snorkeling and fishing boats. We had only a long weekend and we snorkeled (twice), kayaked, went fishing and took a drive down to Marathon. And had plenty of time to explore a couple local restaurants and swim. The hotel was a nice change from the chain hotels - a little character that comes with age. Simple, but clean, cool, and comfortable. Only drawbacks, the staff are courteous, but cool; lots of little kids in the pool, lots of the time, and a poor restaurant (nobody, really nobody, had anything good to say about the restaurant), which is easily avoidable. Overall, if you're planning on getting out and doing, and not just hanging in your room, a great place at a great price. Oh, and the coffee is awful.

Great overall experience. Good view of the harbor. The Dock Master, [...] was wonderful and very helpful with our boat slip reservation. She worked with us on several options and was a super provider of local knowledge.

The workers where very nice. But four bad things. 1) the floors where not that clean. Looked like stain blood on the floor. Going towards the bathroom. VERY GROSS.... 2) The T.V reception was VERY BAD. I know you do not watch much T.V while you are on holiday. But in the evening relaxing before going to bed, or in the mornings getting ready. Suppose to have hbo . Yea right, did not come in. Not even local channels. The only channel that worked , as the food network. 3) and the beds and pillows where so bad. We could hardly sleep. Up all night. 4) Very noisy. People talking yelling late at night. Very late...

Very enjoyable! Pleasent staff wonderful veiw. Our rooms were ready early and on the water. My only complaint was Coconuts resteraunt. This is the second time I had a bad experience there and would not go back.

Very nice to allow a late check out after a morning of diving. Highly recommend!

The hotel was good for the price, the grounds and complex were good, room was fine.. only problem was the bathroom had obvious mildew, like no one cared about it at all. But the rest of the room was fine for a discounted place. I would stay again.

Avoid this place at all costs. It may appear to be a good value, but once again, you get what you pay for. Actually, you don't even get that. Let me list the problems: 1. We were arriving late. I called ahead to make sure this was ok, an was assured that it would not be a problem. When we got there, there was nobody even working the desk and the lobby was locked. We were forced to wait outside on a cold and rainy night for approximately 20 minutes for somebody to casually stroll over from a neighboring hotel. 2. The bathroom was crawling with sugar ants and other insects. Mildew was visible on the sink and in the shower. 3. The remote control for the tv did not work. 4. WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY MAID SERVICE DURING OUR ENTIRE STAY!! On the first day, we left the room early and were gone the whole day. We came back to the room as we left it. I called the front desk (somebody was actually there this time) and informed them. I was assured that this would not happen again. The next morning we receive a knock on the door at about 8:30 in the morning or earlier. NOW the maid decides to show up. I explain that we were still in the room, and the maid promised to come back later. She never did. I called the front desk again, and asked to speak to a manager. She called me later and tried some excuse about us having a pet in the room (we did not). I asked for them to at least send us some clean towels, which did eventually show up 5. The hotel is VERY noisy. There is a bar nearby, and patrons would come back to the hotel yelling and screaming at all hours. Now, I can handle some noise and a late night, but 4 in the morning is ridiculous. Then you get woken up before 8:00 by carpenters pounding on the roof and maids knocking on your door. The hotel has no security or any other staff to keep an eye on the property. 6. Finally, it was time to leave. I requested an early wake up call the night before. We wake up over an hour after the requested time, and realize that the call never came. I called the front desk for an explanation, and some kid mumbles an excuse about the clock being fast. The management has since told me that the calls are automated, so this was clearly a lie. We had to scramble to just barely make our flight, and now I am out nearly 100 bucks to the car rental firm as well. 7. Following this joy of a stay, I called the hotel management and politely explained the situation. I FINALLY received a half-hearted apology, and was put in touch with the property manager. He agreed that it was appropriate for the hotel to reimburse me for the money to the car rental firm, since it was a direct result of their failure on the wake-up call. He promised to call me back in 15 minutes, but never did. I called the next day, spoke to another manager, who assured me that the property manager would call. He did not. I have since called at least 4 times (this has been 2 weeks now). The cowardly property manager has refused to call back. In closing, I hope this gives you some idea of why you should avoid this pit. The management may smile to your face and promise good service, but as soon as you turn around they will ignore you. There are plenty of other places to stay throughout the Keys. Good Luck. P.S. Another comment...this place is almost impossible to find. There is no sign on the highway. If we did not have a GPS, I have no idea how long it would have taken to find.

Having stayed in different keys several times, we were pleasantly surprised with the Marina del Mar. Off the main "drag" of US-1, it was kind of a hidden gem-especially for the price. Having always found key hotels to be hit or miss, we were surprised by the cleanliness of our accomodations. The room had more the basics but was not sparse. We didn't spend a lot of time in the hotel, but the bar had a nice atomosphere and the pool was large as was the marina. Would definitely stay there again if in Key Largo or wanting to be nearby.

The people (staff) was not firendly at all in helping with giving information. they need to understand that people that come there are visting from other states and need information about the area.
