My husband and I live in Florida and decided on a whim to pack the car and go camping in the Keys. When we could not get a campsite we liked we decided to find an inexpensive room and make the best of it. We stopped at the Cracked Conch for lunch and the locals told us about the Black... more

My husband and I stayed here last year for our anniversary and returned this year with our son, my brother and his family. We all had a great time. Rooms are what is expected for the price. Great place for boating, we trailer our boat and put it in each time we want to go out. The resturant attached to... more

This was the first time we had visited the Florida Keys and we rented the large efficiency unit for about a two week stay. Our room had a nice tile floor and a dining room table with four chairs, a love seat, six drawer clothes dresser and about a 20 inch TV. The furniture is wicker and blends in with... more

I was staying with my boyfriend in our room who had compared it to a room we had stayed in a few weeks earlier up in Melbourne where the king sized bed took up the entire room and was an older structure, from the 50's-60's. I was wonderfully surprised at the size of this room. We were right up front... more

My husband and I (ages 33... more

This was the sixth stay at the Blackfin. Been in the king rooms four times and booked the big apartment twice. The apartments are really nice with full kitchens, t.v. rooms and connecting bedrooms to accomodate up to three couples or six people. Pool is very well kept. If you are diving Tilden's dive shop is on the grounds and... more

This is our second visit to Blackfin and it was like "coming home" We came in on our boat this past August, ostensibly for a day or two, and stayed for several weeks. We stayed on our boat but got a room for several friends. The rates are reasonable and while the rooms are a bit "dated" they are clean... more

I have been to Marathon Key, FL several times, and have stayed @ the Black Fin Resort and Marina. 1st time, we stayed on a boat - talk about relaxing, and beautiful scenery and water. The 2nd time, we stayed @ the resort. The rooms were spacious and clean. All had been re-modeld and updated. The heated pool was nice... more
