When you drive by, the signage makes it look a little shady, but it was awesome! Clean, friendly and extremely cooperative staff. They were helpful with everything we asked for. We will definitely be back here! Great value, and definitely Marathon's best kept secret.

I randomly picked the Royal Hawaiian Hotel/Botel off of a Google Maps nearby hotel search... this was the best thing I did for our vacation. This spot is a little piece of heaven. Not only are Phil and Laura (the couple who manages the hotel) some of the most friendly and generous people I've ever met, but the hotel itself... More

This incredible 8 room hotel/botel on Marathon, Florida is a must stay for all those looking for a reasonable, clean, & comfortable place to stay in the Florida Keys.

This is a "mom and pop" -type, laid-back place in the best tradition of the Keys. The owners pretty much left us alone, but appeared always to be readily available should we need anything. We didn't have a boat, but still appreciated seeing the other boats anchored right outside our door on the canal. We had a unit only equipped... More
