Coconut Cay Resort & Marina

We arrived an hour early. The staff was nice enough to let us go swimming in their Beau pool while we waited for our rooms. Not only do they have regular hibachis, they have two great gas grills with an extremely comfortable sitting area. My husband and I were celebrating our 34th wedding anniversary. We decided one night instead of going out, and our daughter and her fiance' were also with us, we had multiple rooms, to grill. We got a steak, lobster tails, corn on the cob and baked potatoes. We cooked it all on the grill, was so nice. The rooms have microwaves and a nicely appointed refrigerator, as well as a kurig. Now, we stayed at a lovely b&b in Key West. But no microwave for popcorn, or reheating anything you bought that night. No coffee maker in the room or downstairs. Only coffee at breakfast or special ordered. And no coat hooks either anywhere. And, in old town, you pay top dollar. The fact that you have kayaks, paddle boards and bikes at your disposal is super handy and fun. Again, I could go on and on. But, we'll be back. We go to the Keys once, twice a year. This is now our new Marathon location. We boo around. It is very friendly, and am glad that I stuck to my guns and didn't cancel when I read some of the reviews. I could tell by walking around, seeing brand new AC unit boxes protecting the units, new paint, floors, bathrooms, that they just want a nice property, a little work still in process we noticed. On that note, good for you. Because to me, it shows that they care. Thank you for your time. Vickie Barbeau

The only two things, no fresh fruit, which is nbd, because they had Dole products, but like anywhere we've stayed in the Keys over the past 20 years, almost no one has coat hooks in the bathrooms for you clothes or bathrobes. And their bathrooms have plenty of room for one or two. But, like I said, it happens in 9 out of 10 places in the Keys. My biggest thing that I didn't like was a lot of the reviews that people out up, especially yelp, (shocking). They complained about a roach in the room. I live in Daytona, have the best pest guy in town. Those pain in the butts will run right past you, find a way in if it's pouring out, etc. If your squeamish about bugs, don't go to Florida. And another, there was one or two pieces of hair left in the corner of the tub. We all have long hair, it's a pain even for me. The picture looked like whoever cleaned it was wiping it dry and it just got stuck. And the complaints about the "pre packaged" breakfast. Do these people know anything about food. That's what I do, ice been waitressing, (mostly) bartending for forty years. The products they use are great, Bob Evans, Dole, Chef Pierre. There is no cross contamination or anything using this method. I could go on. So, it's other people, so to speak that i didn't like, not the establishment.
