We stayed here for 5 days for a family vacation and absolutely adored the area and aqua lodges. It was so beautiful and peaceful, the manatees swam up nightly and the area had gorgeous views. The lodges are roomy and kitchen area was perfect- nice that they provided kitchen utensils, plates, glasses, coffee mugs you name it. Whatever we needed was provided here. Staff is very friendly and helpful- easily and readily able to assist any questions we had. The cleaning crew even had our aqua lodge...

We stayed at this hotel several times. It is very nice, It’s nice that they have a separate area for adults.
They also have 3 in house places to eat, a tiki bar for lunch, a roof top for breakfast and bar in the evening and a restaurant for dinner (didn’t go to this one though).
They include free paddle boards and kayaks.
The rooms could have better A/C, they added another portable fan and seem to be having issues with A/C, hopefully will be resolved soon. Also they don’t have room service...

This was so nice and relaxing. Everyone was very nice and the place was clean every where. Perfect place to relax and just put your phone down and enjoy.
I wish the beach access was a little more than what they had to offer, that is the only downside.

It was very frustrating that during our cumulative total of eight days stay, seven nights, the housekeeping plan was to only clean our room one time and it was on the seventh night. When we asked about this three days in, they said OK we can probably fit in one cleaning for you midway through your stay but that will be the only one, if you desire any additional cleanings that will be $150 each. When they cleaned the room, I would hardly call it clean. That was a little bit frustrating. Beyond...

The house boat was extremely clean. The sheets were clean, towels, washcloths, everything was spotless. Whoever does the housekeeping did an amazing job. The cabinets had things to cook yourself a meal, and there was plenty of room to accommodate our 5 person party. It is an adorable place to stay for a long weekend.

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Marathon
Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Marathon is from September to November, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For those looking to explore the area's key landmarks and cultural attractions, a stay of at least 3 to 4 days is recommended. During this time, you can enjoy activities related to history and culture, such as running, fishing, and birdwatching, as well as experience the beautiful beach sunsets, vibrant marina, and opportunities for snorkeling and savoring fresh seafood. This budget-friendly approach allows you to appreciate the charm of Marathon while getting great value for your money.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: When planning a trip to Marathon, you may discover savings by visiting Hotels.com's Deals section, and if you're seeking last-minute options, check the Last-Minute Dealsopens in new window area for possible discounts on hotel stays. You can also enable email alerts or push notifications to be informed of flash sales and special promotions. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available through the app helps travelers compare hotel prices and amenities, so if rooms become available or rates drop, you're more likely to see an opportunity to book a spontaneous getaway.
Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on factors like the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates may help you find a better deal for your stay in a Marathon hotel. If you’re interested in unique accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalized experience and sometimes offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we'll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price seems a bit high, we’ll suggest alternative dates that might be more affordable, which could help you uncover a great option.
Consider your location: Hotels near the city center usually tend to cost more; however, thanks to Marathon's excellent public transportation links, you might find a more affordable independent hotel further out that’s still well connected. For those interested in exploring alternative, less crowded neighborhoods or even lesser-known nearby cities, there is often excellent value for money. Opting for these alternative destinations could offer a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
