Mariner’s Resort Villas & Marina

This is one of the smaller of the resorts around Key Largo, with just 60 guest apartments.  Yes, apartments; at the Mariner’s, they range from 1 bedroom 1 bath to 3 bedrooms 3 baths.  Still, in the low season (like now) you can get some amazing deals — I was stunned at some of the offers I saw a few minutes ago, which you can see here at the Mariner’s Resort.

Marriott Key Largo Bay Beach Resort

David and I have stayed here, and we did enjoy it.  Lots to see and do, including a private beach (bayside) with plenty of “toys” to rent.  Be forewarned, the property is pretty sizable so getting from your room to the car and vise-versa can be a trek.  Still, the rooms were lovely and one thing I really appreciated; the beach was divided into an “active” end and a “quiet” end.  Once again, it’s the low season and rates are good! Check here for Marriott Key Largo rates.

Holiday Inn Key Largo

Now don’t expect luxury here, but do expect a good time.  Excellent for those who want to go diving and/or snorkeling, as well as families with youngsters (“kids eat free”).  Lots to see and do — close to Pennekamp, so go over there for the day.  Glass bottom boat tours and sunset cruises can be arranged from the marina…all kinds of things!  Prices are pretty good right now, with some interesting specials to look at. Check out the rates and specials for the Holiday Inn.
