this place is definitely outdated. It is somewhat clean, but the room that was giving to us had mildew on the ceiling. So they gave us another room that was better but had a hole in the wall stairs leading to the restaurant have been patched up. I would definitely spend $100 more and go at Fairfield or Marriott. In Marathon the room also has no window, so it smelled cramped up.

The hotel is on a beautiful property but it’s run down and old looking. The AC in room 20 was so loud I could not sleep. I am not a light sleeper. The AC is also located right above the bed. The room itself has an updated shower andexcept the toilet was old stained and cracked.

We stayed at Rainbow Bend for a week in October (Suite 9 🌈❤️). Everything was perfect for our family of 3. Sharing our patio area with iguanas and curly tailed lizards was fun. The premises are beautiful. And the sunrise right from the property was unforgettable. 5 out of 5 stars 🌟

I love this place. The room is beautiful, spacious and comfortable with a full kitchen. French doors leading to a wonderful patio just off a huge heated pool and jacuzzi i fully enjoyed. There is a cafe on site that serves a complimentary breakfast. It’s right on the water, the breeze is a delight. So happy I stayed here.

Out of all of the properties we have visited, this has a beautiful location and I love that it was dog friendly. If I could suggest some things, I would suggest the property condos are spruced up a bit by paint and upgrading the furniture which would turn it into a 5 star for me. Also, the dining area was great and the service was phenomenal, however, coffee cups were tiny and the food was not good. If I were to suggest just putting in a continental breakfast with a waffle maker, that would be better because after trying it the first day, we didn't even want the free breakfast. Or, you could upgrade the food to a better quality and even charge, but the free breakfast was not even hotel free breakfast quality. The pool and hot tub were beautiful and well kept as well as the grounds and they offer glass bottom kayaks and bikes. Great amenities for the area. The blankets needed upgrading as well, so upgrade the lotion, soaps, furniture, blankets and pillows and paint the walls and base boards and use a great odobon cleaner or something because dogs pee in the units obviously and you have a 5 star property. The staff was also top notch I just know that I have puppies and we will be coming back to the keys and this could be so much more with those small upgrades. Thank you for a wonderful time to everyone who works there.
