Top Vaca Key Hotel Reviews

Banana Bay Resort & Marina

10/10 Excellent

"the check in process was easy and the room was very comfortable and clean. the swimming pool was very nice and this is conveniently located. the view for the sunset was perfect."

Tranquility Bay Beachfront Hotel and Resort

10/10 Excellent

"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."
