Marina Del Mar Resort & Marina

This hotel is aging quite well. Not luxury, but very enjoyable. Lovely setting. The beds are very comfortable and service is very good and friendly. A limited breakfast with great coffee beside the marina got my day off to a good start. Close to Pennekamp and excellent restaurants. Reasonable when compared to other hotels in the area. Parking is free, but some spaces are a hike from the room.

We stayed here for 1 night on our way through the keys.|The apartment was huge with 5 sets of patio doors. Unfortunately the main bedroom patio doors didn’t close properly so it was very noisy, both from the road and music being played nearby until midnight. The stairs to the other floors are right outside the other bedroom which meant it was noisy when people were going up and down. Maybe some signage to ask people to be respectful?|The bathrooms were basic and the tv was tricky to plug in as it’s wedged into the unit in the bedroom|The breakfast was good and it was nice to enjoy it on the marina. Free parking right outside was great

CAUTION!!! 1) Bed bugs!!! I’m still itching. My room was 210. 2) I initially paid through Booking.com but at check-in they added “service free” which doesn’t make sense. They said it’s for using their pool, Jacuzzi, Wi-Fi.. but it’s already included in your booking. I had to speak with a manager.. try they might return it. 3) facilities are old. This hotel is not worth the money. 4) no access to the beach.

Positive: "" Negative: Very old hotel, breakfast was microwaved junk, terrible. Restaurants near were expensive and just ok. Booked king bed got double.

I give this hotel 5 stars for its price point! Our room was immaculate check-in process and staff wonderful! We arrived early, the front desk asked for a phone contact and called shortly afterwards to tell us a room was ready! Some reports complained of the facility being noisy, not for our stay! The hotel is on a lovely marina, if you are here on a weekend you should expect some noise, mid week it was quiet by 9pm.
