Marathon Florida Keys

Hotel was under major renovation and that was never me that time of booking Place was noisy and messy with no gym and workers in room across hall created noise at daybreak As a executive who traveled extensively for 4 decades this was by far one of my worst experience at a supposedly top resort

This was the second and final time I will stay at this hotel. The first time, we discovered feces on the wall in the bathroom upon getting to our room, after which we were upgraded to a nice suite. How does this happen? How does the cleaning staff just leave feces on the wall? So after the suite stay, which was nice, I booked again for a work trip because of the hotel's location. The room was so newly renovated that the granite countertops still had scrawling on them from being measured and cut. I had to be up early for work, on a Sunday. I know you're thinking, who works on a Sunday? Me, and the entire renovation crew too, which provided me with a lovely wakeup call at about 6 a.m. directly next door with the sander. This buzzing went on for hours. I was so frustrated I finally got up and we checked out early because we couldn't take the sawing anymore. Also, the mattress was not attached to the base of the bed, which is probably a liability especially if an elderly person is slipping and sliding around. I feel completely ripped off, and I will also add that I was lied to about the room rate, which turned out to be $570 before taxes. $570!!! I will tell everyone I know not to stay here, and that includes coworkers, family and friends who visit the Florida Keys. Unbelievable.

I chose the Faro Blanco resort because of their proximity to the Faro Blanco Lighthouse and Marina. I had plans to also go to Key West on a similar mission. Christina helped me enormously getting my Lighthouse passport stamps from the marina HQ located in the marina office and "ships store". There are major renovations going on throughout the resort and restaurant areas. It can get very noisy at times as previously noted by others. My restful sleep was not bothered by this; loud machines only were heard during daytime hours and only on the first floor of the hotel. I had a room on the 3rd floor which was updated modern and clean. Very nice in my opinion, and I've been around. Everyone pays for parking, 20 dollars, and Resort fees, 30 dollars. Per day. Here at Faro Blanco it's still decent value. Repeat shout out to Christina. Fritomann.

My family and I had an amazing time. We wish we had 2 more days to enjoy the resort and area. Large spacious rooms, great staff, amazing views from the lighthouse grill.

Nice looking property, great staff, good restaurant and views. Beds were bad beyond belief. No water pressure in the shower. Noisy air conditioner. $75 surprise pet charge per day.
