We arrived here early evening looking for somewhere to stay on our way back up the Keys from Key West. We hadn't pre-booked but had no trouble getting the room. The welcome we got from the staff was very friendly and they were able to suggest places to eat and places for us to visit the next day. This is... more

My wife and I recently met a few friends down in Marathon for the weekend, and all stayed in the houseboat at Blue Waters Motel! The location was great for anyone looking to have all the necessities of a vacation within 1-2 miles of the motel, and also be located directly on the water with gorgeous sunset views! Blue Waters... more

We pd extra for the kitchen and our room was very clean and neat. Our room had two twins a futon and large bathroom and kitchen with sitting... more

Over the last five years we have stayed at quite a few motels in Marathon and found Blue Waters to be one of the very best, this is mostly due to very friendly owners and fantastic location. They have a great dock area with very easy access to bay or ocean side fishing. Also, a very nice swimming pool area... more

My family and I stayed at the Blue waters motel and were pleased with the value. With a family, the rooms were spacious. There was a pool and a great view. It was also close to Marathon to get all vacation necessities (food, sunblock, etc.). We were on a budget and the room exceeded the price we paid. The stafff... more

Good location if you are planning a stay in the upper Keys but way too far to commute to Key West which is 1.5hr drive away. Way over priced and to make matters worse price was upped because we were a party of four (2 adults and 2 kids). We opted out of the additional USD10/day for kitchen access. Very... more

The Pool... more

My wife and I go to the Keys to dive and not for shore-based activities. Accommodation quality is not particularly important to us. Nevertheless, Blue Waters did not meet expectations. There is no beach, only a docking area with poorly circulating water that is rather filthy. A small, but servicable, pool is adjacent to the dock. We paid extra for... more
