We arrived early but were able to use the pool. Lovely cannon firing ceremony at sunset with a sunset shot from the bar. We ate wings and a pretzel from the bar which were both delicious. Room was large and the bed was really comfortable.

Exceeded expectations!
We’re a family of 5, so we’re always using sofas and pull out beds, these were very comfy and everyone slept well. Didn’t use a lot of the amenities, but place was very clean and everyone was super friendly.

I was not happy about not having a dining room or bar as advertised, for the price I should have been notified in making a decision before booking. Everything else was good.

It was very frustrating that during our cumulative total of eight days stay, seven nights, the housekeeping plan was to only clean our room one time and it was on the seventh night. When we asked about this three days in, they said OK we can probably fit in one cleaning for you midway through your stay but that will be the only one, if you desire any additional cleanings that will be $150 each. When they cleaned the room, I would hardly call it clean. That was a little bit frustrating. Beyond that, we thoroughly enjoyed the property and our time at this particular Bluegreen resort.

Check in was quick. We stopped on our way down to Key West but the room wasn't ready, it was about 2pm. We were fine with that we told them we would be back late. We got back about 11:30pm. Check in was quick but the gentleman working had just started his ahift but not trying to be mean he smelled horrible. It was hard to stand there and sign the paperwork. The room is beautiful !!!! Clean and free bag of popcorn. TV in bedroom keeps going out. There is no storm outside but the inclement weather sign keeps coming on....ugh. Wanted to watch tv and relax before to sleep.

Loved the spacious apartment & balcony, nice big beach towels, pool & hot tub were lovely, enjoyed Barnacle Barney's mostly though food choices a little limited. Would've been nice to be able to borrow beach chairs & umbrella for Sombrero. We like having double sinks in the bathroom but we're spoiled :-) Bed was very comfortable. Great location in Marathon -- we had a wonderful vacation.

I liked that it was quiet and set back from the highway. Felt very secure. Staff were friendly and supportive. The kitchen was small but we only cooked breakfast. Could have used a Keurig. Lobby coffee ran out fast! MaryJo at Barnacle Barney’s and Pamela the activities director were outstanding

Nice!
Rooms were nice size but sofa cushions was not comfortable and kept sliding off under you . Beds were awesomely comfortable. Very clean and quiet. Good location. Shutting down pool at 8pm sucked. Smells from seaweed was horrible. Need more options from tiki bar..liquor and meals.., not a resort more like a hotel...and where were the hammocks??..staff were very nice and accommodating. Will refer.

Can't recommend highly enough
The Bluegreen is a great place. The staff was excellent and our suite was spacious, clean and nicely decorated. Our bedroom and bed were huge and our boys were very comfortable on the pull-out. Everything you need is there- the pool, the tiki bar and programming for the family. In the evenings you can hang out on the dock when the fishing trips come in and cut up their catch. It draws the tarpon, pelicans and even some nurse sharks in. My sons loved it. Highly recommend this place for families. We will definitely be back.

Great place to stay!
Very nice! The room was clean, beds were very comfortable, tiki bar relaxing, hot tub and pool area also very nice. I wish the coffee would have been available earlier in the morning. Check in was a bit of an irritation. We were a little early and were told our room would be ready by 4:00, and if sooner they would text us. We were able to relax and have a drink at the Tiki bar, then the hot tub, then we got the text our room was ready. However, we had to wait while the person in front of us decided to chat up the check in person so he could stall until 4:00 and get his room. This was not the hostess’s fault, but there should have been an easier way for us to get our room rather than making us wait, dripping wet in the lobby without towels to get into our room that was ready. Overall, very nice!

I liked that the suites are beautiful, clean, and totally equipped with everything you need. The suite is very spacious and had lots of room to relax. The lobby has a nice sitting area where you can play checkers or just sit. The grounds are beautiful and safe feeling. There is lots of room to sit by the well maintained pool.

We stayed in a studio and it was perfect for our 3-day stay. It was spotlessly clean and very spacious. The grounds are beautifully manicured and well taken care of. The tiki bar is a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere with delicious, fresh seafood and fun, guest-interactive games. I would definitely book here again!

AMAZING BIRTHDAY WEEKEND!!!
I found this AMAZING Bluegreen Resort from Hotels.com! My reservations were incorrect my confirmation came back as only a one night stay but, it was supposed to be for two nights. Unfortunately, Hotels.com wasn't able to correct it for me nor could the resort so, I logged back into Hotels.com and chose another night and I am so glad that I did. Now I had two reservations for two different rooms. I was communicating with Jason from Bluegreen and he assured me that it would be a smooth transition. Our check-in was perfect the resort is Beautiful and so Clean! The staff is so very friendly and helpful no matter whom you speak too. Our first room was a 1 room suite and it was Gorgeous!! It was so big I didn't know what to do with myself..lol The second day we had to check out and check into our different room. Jason was Amazing he had us pack up just our belonging and to leave anything in the fridge. He had housekeeping move all of our belongings to our second room so, we could go about our day and it went off without a hitch. They called me when our new room was ready and when we checked back in Jason upgraded us to a Bayview balcony room. It was so Beautiful to sit out on the patio to watch the sunrise. The Tiki Hut on-site is so much fun and the food was delicious. We had so much fun that my fiance' kept thanking me for booking this birthday vacation. I had the most Amazing Birthday Vacation Ever! Thank you to Hotels.com and of course Jason at Bluegreen Resort!!!

My husband and I stayed here in our Honeymoon. We had a great experience. If you are looking to stay at a hotel in the Keys on a budget then look no farther. The room we has was much larger and nicer than expected. The pool was clean and easy to get to, and everyone at the front desk was very polite and willing to offer ideas and help book things to do. The Tiki Bar by the pool was nice, however they did not have a full liquor licence. The food was great and they had live music and events on select nights. They do not have daily maid service so you might have to clean up after yourself, however you can ask for fresh towels at any time at the front desk. They also did not have a breakfast, but there was a kitchenette and a full size fridge in the room. They also had gas grills outside for guests to use.

So comfortable and great view !
We were only at the Hammocks Resort for two nights but we loved our room and the view from our balcony was fabulous! Room was so well stocked for cooking and etc...as it was a short stay, we ate at restaurants but could definitely see ourselves staying long term and living like locals. Bed was so comfortable. Sombrero beach nearby was lovely. We loved our pool area and especially loved watching as fishing boats docked and fed the pelicans. Great show !

Far exceeded our expectations
We were wonderfully surprised with every aspect of our stay at Hammocks. The room was incredibly spacious. All rooms have their own balcony. The pool, hot tub, and pool area were magnificent overlooking the Gulf. The tiki bar at the pool was an added bonus. In addition to the kitchen, the room included almost everything you could think of needing - not only dishes, pots and pans, but detergent, laundry baskets and a host of other practical items. The front desk also had complimentary toiletries in case you forgot to pack something which seems to be a rarity these days. Hotel was conveniently located at the southern end of Marathon with several restaurants within walking distance. Overall, loved it! We'll be staying here again.

Very clean and spacious room. Have a nice restaurant out on the ocean. Location is good and close to a nice beach. Check in is a little odd. They will not allow you to check in any earlier than 4pm (every hotel we have stayed at on our trip let us check in at anytime with no extra cost) and check out is earlier than any other hotel in the area 10am.

Nice property and Tiki bar
Hotel was nice and was very comfortable, enjoyed the tiki bar especially at sundown when they shoot off a Canon and give everyone a free shot to toast. The only negative is if you spend more than one day , housekeeping does not clean the room or restock the towels or supplies.

Peaceful Oasis
Really nice clean place, beds were comfortable, slept well. Plenty of room! The staff was nice, although they never got back to me about an issue I had the first morning; being woken by a baby in the room above me at 5am on. Luckily they checked out that day and there was no one issues with the new people.
