Top Vaca Key Hotel Reviews

Captain Pips Marina & Hideaway

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay. Right on the water, very clean, and a nice location. Check in/check out process was easy. Would highly recommend and will be coming back."

Banana Bay Resort & Marina

8/10 Good

"The rooms are modern and clean. The hotel area is rustic as it should be in the keys. My only complaint is the fees. Parking fees and hotel/service fees... Oh, and the beautiful bar with the perfect water view is only open for two hours (during sunset)."

Yacht Haven Marina

10/10 Excellent

"A quiet, amazing little gem! Clean, no bugs, Close to Publix- everything you need !"

Tranquility Bay Beachfront Hotel and Resort

"N/a"

Courtyard by Marriott Faro Blanco Resort, Marathon Florida Keys

8/10 Good

"Staff was very pleasant. But the stay was not cheap. And I have two "issues". First - We had a breakfast plan with the room and we were given 2 $25 vouchers (1 each) for the two days we stayed. When I viewed the initial bill, we were billed $50 for breakfast on the first day, even though we used the vouchers. The hotel staff removed that charge when I brought it up to them, but it shouldn't have been there in the first place. Second issue - We arrived around 2 pm on Sunday and left around Noon on Tuesday. Parking was $20 per day. When I viewed the final bill, we were charged for 3 days of parking, even though we spent less than 48 hours at the hotel. Yes, the car was in the lot one full day and part of 2 other days, but I have NEVER been charged for 3 days parking at ANY HOTEL EVER when I spent just two nights in the hotel. Generally, parking follows the room charge - 2 days room = 2 days parking. I think that is really poor given that this is an expensive resort managed by a major hotel chain."
