The hotel was fabulous. We enjoyed our 5 days there. Centrally located in the keys and we prefer marathon vs key west......livery family friendly. The pool was awesome and the kids loved it. Having the porch and balcony was above par. Highly recommend to families or groups of friends.

Loved this hotel! The rooms were very clean and we enjoyed our stay. The only drawback was the sound of the power washing being done on the building near the main pool, which went on solid for two days that we were there. Would have been amazing to enjoy the pool without that sound. We understand that you have to keep the place clean, but perhaps schedule […] different locations on the property so people in one location don't have to hear it the whole day. But again, would definitely recommend (and have!) this hotel to friends. Read more

This is a nice place to stay, the staff is very friendly and the grounds are very well kept. The resturant is excellent and the Tiki bar was a good place to have lunch. Both bartenders (Jeff and Lance) were very knowledgable about the area and what to do and see. The front Desk was very friendly (Summer) she even called around for a local dentist for […] us. The director(Michael) for the food visited us after our dinner asking our opinion and shared with us. After spending the first few days of our vaction on a cruise this place was way more enjoyable and relaxing. Read more

This is a beautiful resort located in the middle keys, and right on the Gulf. My husband and I spent one week at Tranquility Bay and look forward to returning. The two-story houses are comfortable, clean, and very spacious. We loved the porches, swimming pools, and well-kept grounds. There are gorgeous views, and sunset every night is spectacular. We […] ate a few times at the very delicious restaurant and tiki bar. This is a great spot for families, couples, or anyone seeking some time away. Read more

Staff was friendly and went out of their way for us. I would love to own on this property. We felt we had found a paradise. Very quiet and relaxing.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We very much enjoyed our recent stay. The staff was helpful and the property is kept in pristine condition. There are porches both upstairs and down with comfortable adirondack chairs. My only very minor complaint is that the bedrooms are on the small side. The beach is manmade and small, but if you want big sandy beaches, you should not be in the keys. […] The restaurant on premises (Butterfly Cafe) is excellent. Read more

Had out of town family members coming in for the weekend and what better way than the experience of the Florida Keys. They were pleasantly surprised with the accommodations that were offered by the hotel. The kids had an amazing time at the beach and pools. Would definitley stay here again. Highly recommend this hotel if you find yourself in the Florida […] Keys. Read more

Very beautiful townhouse apartments on the Gulf of Mexico. Off the beach units may be better with more privacy. Porches lack privacy, and a restaurant for breakfast is missing, so hit Publix on the way in. Otherwise, this is the best family hotel we have found in the Keys outside of Key West. Service is excellent and friendly.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I booked this hotel as I travel frequently, and much prefer 'self-catered' style breaks. The website made the resort look fabulous, and we were not disappointed. The units themselves were spacious, clean and bright and fully equipped. The whole resort is immaculate, while it is clearly family friendly, there also seems to be an expectation to keep things […] neat and tidy. We were in unit 49 which was just set back from the adult pool and beach, so ideal. Another review mentions that their balcony was right next to their neighbours, but we didn't have this problem, and while the other units are attached, we had great privacy. The pools were a great size and the beach a lot larger than the photos made it look. The only downside to the resort was that while the website says there are laundry facilities in the units, ours didn't appear to have any, and on calling reception I was told there were none on site (still a bit puzzled about this) and also the gym is a bit tired, with equipment which is not in keeping with the rest of the resort. However, overall I would highly recommend this resort, either for couples, groups of friends or families. It really is stunning and the staff are so helpful. Read more

This resort was exactly as advertised - luxurious, spacious and well kept. We enjoyed every minute and didn't want to leave. I certainly would recommend this hotel.

The resort is gorgeous and very comfortable. It is the perfect place for a relaxing vacation.

Genuine Expedia guest review

What an amazing place, wish we had stayed longer than 2 nights. The rooms where comfortable, specially the master bedroom with its own terrace. The gardens, beach and the whole area were beautiful. The food and the service at the dining room were also out of this world. Perfect place to reload your batteries during a hectic and busy vacation. Highly […] recommend it and will definitely go back . Read more

Staff friendly and nice. Great food and staff in the cafe. We really liked this place. We were a group of two families traveling with 3 teenagers and we all werevery happy with our stay.

Fantastic resort and would recommend it to anyone wanting to travel to the Florida Keys.

Excellent place to stay. Many nice features and perfect for families

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Easily one of the best places we have ever stayed. The grounds are beautiful. The whole atmosphere is very quiet and peaceful. It became our habit to wander down to the waterside for sunset every evening. Very convenient to have the Tiki bar and watersport rentals right on property. We had one disappointment after another at the local restaurants. Fortunately, […] we saved the Butterfly Grill for our last evening: the food and service were both superb!!! We are planning a return trip - something we almost never do! Read more

This hotel is the best thing going in the Keys. It is beautiful, clean, has a great restaurant, pool and its own beach. It is on the gulf side and you can see amazing sunsets every night from the private beach. It is quiet too. We had a 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bathroom condo with a full kitchen. Each unit has 3 porches and they were fabulous for reading and […] enjoying scenery. The beach is clean and safe. We rented waverunners one afternoon and loved it. It is conveniently located in Marathon next to stores and restaurants. One of the nicest resorts for quiet, family fun. Couples would enjoy it too. Read more

Go to Miami first and come here to relax afterwards. Friendly folks work here, and the view is amazing. One thing you should know - you cannot smoke on the premises anywhere...some people were upset about that, but everyone else was enjoying the cleanliness.

The butterfly cafe was awesome the food was excellent, we also rented some jet ski's that were just amazing on the ocean beautiful sun rise every night, people were very friendly and a very relaxing place!!!! It was a great resort!!!

Tranquility Bay is a wonderful hotel and well situated in Marathon to allow access to all of the Florida Keys. We recommend this hotel and will stay here again on our next visit.

Excellent townhouse, really worth it, staff excellent

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This is a beautiful resort! Our kids (4 and 8) enjoyed the beach and warm pool. The beach itself is not large, but perfect for small children. Our 2 bedroom unit had all we needed to be exremely comfortable when we were not enjoying the sunny warm weather or fishing off the lagoon (caught a barracuda). I would definately recommend.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Beautiful suites with views from both floors. Very peaceful.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The rooms are incredible with bedrooms on the second floor and kitchen & living room on the main level. We could see the pool and the beach from the deck off the master bedroom. Very well maintained. My 5 year old loved our stay, the pool and the beach where he chased after small craps. We picked up stone crab and shimp for dinner each night from Keys […] Fisheries. Highly recommended. Read more

This destination resort had wonderful views with lots to do. Very friendly staff. Nice location. Ate at the restaurant and it was delicious. Lots of families.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Tranquility Bay is a haven amidst chaos and is a lovely, charming place to stay. In fact, I might say that there is no other place to stay in Marathon. With that said, I would also add that the surroundings are completely manufactured and reflect in no way the surrounding vicinity of the Florida Keys. The units are packed tightly together so that, when […] everyone's porch doors were open (which they often are) we were the lucky recipients of all conversations from 2 doors down on both sides of us. All porches connect and there is little privacy unless you shut yourself inside. There were a lot of kids around, but there is an adults-only pool where I happily spent a majority of my time. The Butterfly Cafe is the only restaurant in the vicinity that we enjoyed. Marathon itself seems a bit depressed, rusty, and dated (as did Key West). We enjoyed the Crane reservation up the street. I shopped daily at the Winn Dixie and Publix up the street so I could cook dinners. The front desk has a book library if you run out of things to read. We rented the onsite kayaks, and used the in-room washer and dryer. The staff was responsive and friendly. Read more

Beautiful, clean, comfortable. Great location. A family trip where everyone got along--no better review than that.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We were very happy with the first place we stayed at on the Keys and did not think our experience could get better....then we checked in here. The place was immaculate. The grounds were beautiful, the actual units are very similar to town homes with 2 floors, and 2 large balcony/porches. We were 20 feet away from the pool and very close to the beaches […] and Tiki bar. They offer a lot of activities onsite which unfortunately we did not get to use due to the wind. We did use both pools, the giant family pool and the "for adults only" pool, and both were very clean. The grounds were spotless and all the units looked brand new and were well kept. We will definitely be back. Read more

I want to go back to this resort. I think I will!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

My family and I were very pleased with Tranquility Bay, the ammenities, and surrounding area of the Keys. The condo was in excellent shape and the surrounding grounds were in excellent shape, as well. The layout of the 3 bedroom accomodated my family of 2 adults and 4 kids very well. We never felt cramped. The private open space of the resort is great. […] I would definately spend another week at Tranquility Bay. Read more

Amazing place and an oasis in Marathon with beautiful grounds and deserted beach. The unit was very nice and private with view of the Gulf and the tropical setting. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a quiet get-away in a A+ property.

We only spent two days at Tranquility Bay but we will definitely stay here again when we travel to the keys. The front desk staff were helpful and informative. The housekeeping staff did a good job. The grounds and view are beautiful.

Very nice, quiet and pool warm. Nice to sit on the porch and enjoy the gulf. Watched the sun set at nite,

Genuine Expedia guest review

This was a first experience in the FL Keys for us. We were two retired couples looking for comfortable accommodations on the water, and Tranquility did not disappoint. Highlights were immaculate condition of the entire property and our two bedroom unit, waterfront location and friendly, attentive staff. Marathon is a bit of a drive from Key West, which […] we visited during day and evening hours, but Tranquility Bay has plenty to do on site. We kayaked, swam in the pool and enjoyed lunch at the Tiki Bar. Bartender/Waiter Lance gave us great advice on fine dining as well as local seafood. Price was reasonable, though early Feb. seemed somewhat out of season, as most places were sparsely populated. All in all, a very pleasant stay in a beatifully kept resort property. Read more

Lovely well equipped and maintained 3 bed room unit was spacious and spotless. Only downside was a weak shower. Front desk was helpful with restaurant recommendation and fishing advice. Would love to return!

We had a wonderful time at Tranquility Bay Resort. The beach-entry pool was great for our 2.5 year old and 5month old children. Definitely check out the Turtle Hospital and order takeout from the Keys Fishery down the street.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Staff was helpful. Location was great. Rooms were clean, spacious and well decorated. One note: The beach on the property faces north. In December and January the bulk of the day the beach is shaded. Also, the swimming area had a great deal of sea grass and was not really useable for swimming. This seems to be the case for many beaches area in the keys […] that faces north at least during our visit. Southern facing beaches seem to have less sea grass and all day sun when we were there. Resort food was wonderful. Read more

We wanted to find a hotel that was on the water and a bit more laid back than Key West - From checking in with Jay at the front dest to check-out our stay was great - it was quite, the bed was very comfortable - everything was very clean and there was plenty of room not to feel overly confined The hotel room is really better described as a 2 story […] condo - ours had 3 bedrroms and 3.5 bathrooms for the 2 of us - we had 3 TVs and a full kitchen - so we could watch the football game and miss america with popcorn and beer - everyone was happy We drove done to Key West a couple of times - about 1 hour away - to visit Duval St and the tours of Hemingway and the Little White House The weather was a bit chilly so we did not spend much time outside but the facilities looked like they would be fun with the beach and pools at your back door Read more

This hotel exceeded our expectations, even having read the reviews and researching photos on-line before hand. It is right off the main drag, but also nicely isolated and contained. The staff were helpful throughout the stay. All of the policies (non-smoking, pets, etc) were explained nicely upfront. The staff was also helpful with other later special […] requests. There was a wedding reception on site, but we were also informed of that upfront, and told which areas we could go for swimming and dining in the meantime. The rooms were great - like mini condos. The upper and main floor balconies were ideal for enjoying the weather and ocean breezes. The food at the Butterfly Cafe was also excellent, along with the service. Read more

A perfect vacation...driving distance to key west, etc., beautiful homes, totally tranquil, food is amazing, service outstanding, overall amazing! Also, since the beach there isn't really "swimable" we took a short drive (4 miles) to Sombraro Beach...so remote, so beautiful. Can't wait to go back!
