Marathon Florida Hotel

Finding a Marathon Florida hotel at a discounted price is easy if you book in at the Sombrero Resort, but remember, you get what you pay for and although this hotel is discounted the facilities may not be of the highest standard.

Sombrero Resort

A hotel that may be in need of updating and modernising.

However it's one of Marathons cheaper places to stay with a superb beach not more than 5 minutes away by car.

Sombrero Resort

Location - on the canal and if you're lucky you may see a manatee swimming by whilst you walk along side.

Guestrooms - spacious rooms some with a full kitchen which is great if you are keeping costs down and plan to cook indoors or need a rest from frequenting the local restaurants.

Canal - some great views over the canal from your private balcony.

Golf Course - one of the attractions you may find with this Marathon Florida hotel is that it is next door to the golf course

Scuba Gear - all rooms have a balcony and you will find this very handy to dry out all the scuba diving gear at the end of the day

Marathon has long been a popular area for scuba diving and game fishing, and has a good choice of value for money hotels. If the Sombrero Resort is not to your liking there are other hotels in the area for around the same money.

I have listed some of the more popular hotels:

Conch Key Cottages
Coconut Cay Resort & Marina
Kingsail Resort

Depending on your budget you may want to find a Marathon hotel that may be that little bit more expensive but has a few more luxuries on site. If you fancy spending a bit more of your budget on a top quality hotel then one of these may be what you are looking for:

Coral Lagoon Resort and Marina
Hawks Cay Resort
Tranquility Bay Beach House Resort

Sombrero Resort is a cheap place to stay and very basic and this video gives you an idea of what to expect at this resort. (I love the harmonica so I didn't mind this video ...)

One of the cheapest places you will find to stay in Marathon and handy if you plan on doing a lot of your own cooking and using it as a base to explore 'The Keys'

Whilst not up to the standards of the more expensive hotels it is however cheap, within easy access of the airport, and central to both Key Largo and Key West so you can explore at your leisure.
