“This Marathon resort sets itself apart with a full-service marina, accommodating boats up to 56 feet-a true draw for those arriving by sea. I noticed the decor strives for a modern boathouse feel, complementing its waterfront location, and the complimentary bikes encourage guests to explore beyond the property. For families and couples planning a relaxed vacation with water activities, this could be a great fit.”

The pool was clean with balanced chemicals and a great temperature. The hot tub also maintained a perfect temperature (i used it every day!). I especially liked the hammocks near the tiki bar where I could relax in the evenings. The resort offered a complimentary breakfast.
