My boyfriend planned to stay here overnight as a present for my birthday. Unfortunately, neither of us read the reviews before we went down there. If I had seen them I certainly would have had my BF rethink booking the reservation. The room was very hot and there was an undersized window AC unit which we cranked down to 60... More

Oceanfront fabulous view. Small pool and beach BUT filthy. Mold, grime, sticky floors, at least 1/4 inch dust on everything. Paid in full and in advance and could not get refund immediately after seeing room. Bought bleach and Lysol and cleaned myself before staying in room. At the real laugh is a $12 per day "resort fee". Stay away.

We found this hotel via Hotelclub.com as we didn't know at that time that there are other means to find accommodation. First we drove pas the place and when we entered the 'Resort' nobody was there. Reception closed but a handwritten note redirected us to the hotel next door where, surprisingly, we got a key. The room door hardly opened... More

I am reviewing the reviews of this property and they are in turn hilarious and terrible. Management never fails to delight with their responses to naysayers. We have it all, the ridiculous to the sublime, it makes a wonderful read. If I ever have the chance I will certainly stay at Bonefish, you couldn't keep me away. Meanwhile I will... More

I flipped out after reading all of the negative reviews on the Bonefish Resort after I paid the down payment. There were no options this week for Hotels in Marathon. I am a world traveler having logged over 2 million miles. I stay in nice 5 Star hotels but sometimes when in a bind must take what I can find... More

Tiny room. Previous tenants thong hanging in the room. No coffee maker as advertised. Staff was pleasant and resolved the issues promptly. That being said, it is what it is, Possibly the least expensive hotel in Marathon. Had availability when others did not. Was significantly less than the $350 for the larger hotels in the area.

Thanks for the review, and for the kind words about our staff. We are aware of the problems at our motel, and working very hard to bring the quality up to the level that our guests expect and deserve. We have recently brought it all-new management, a new housekeeping staff, and have renovated several rooms, as well as several aspects... More

If you like bugs, bad air conditioning, cave like dwellings and no hot water or water pressure then Bonefish is for you. The place needs to be bulldozed. The WiFi worked which was a huge bonus and the area by the water is nice. The highway is very close to your door and it sounds like the trucks are going... More

First of all thank you for your feedback, and I’m sorry if you didn’t enjoy your stay with us. The Bonefish Resort is a small motel, and that is exactly what we advertise it as. This is premium oceanfront property in the Florida Keys, and while we realize that our units aren’t compatible with a 5-star hotel, we feel the... More

When we called to book we actually thought we were getting a room at "Yellow tail Inn" which just down the ocean a bit. (Also is owned by this owner) So after reading the reviews we were scared. We were in room 304 which was very clean- or as clean as possible since the property is in need of a... More

What a pleasant surprise. I booked Bonefish in a hurry as most of the Fl Keys was sold out. I checked in last night with my girlfriend. Now I'm writing this review from the property's wifi. I was so thrilled about being down here on the ocean, that I decided to write this review. I saw some maintenance people on... More

I was skeptical about booking here after reading some of the reviews. I called and spoke with a front desk person named Elijah and he was very nice. I stayed in a guest room style unit. It was small but I didn't need anything big. It was just for me and was only $129 per night with a $10 resort... More
