Lovely hotel, in a beautiful setting. We only stayed for two nights in July 2023, but would have loved to have stayed more. We had a family room, which was easily big enough, the location is stunning, particulate sunset, and there was a great pool for the children to use in the restaurant.

WOW!!! This renovated property in Marathon is amazing as a Hilton Curio and 100 % worth a visit. The rooms are modern, clean and luxurious. The new lobby and restaurant area could not be prettier! The food at the restaurant was delicious and so was the service of the very friendly staff. The view from pool area overlooking the lighthouse are beautiful. New gym and upcoming spa are great addition.

Property is clean. Very stark beige, gray, whites with little decor. Lacks ambiance. Not many people here, off season. Dining room food & service excellent, however little pricey. Music in public areas Extremely loud, distracting, ANNOYING. . Even for working staff. This is not a Yoo Ra Ra Club Med! Seems like trying to be .. . Staff helpful, friendly, polite. Rooms nice, however if room has a large heavy glass bathroom door they are hard to slide & lock. Not sound proof. Might as well pee with door open. Hotel Good location. On marina, not beach.

I am right now staying in your hotel. It is a very disappointing experience so far. I booked through booking.com a room with breakfast included. So far it was pretty bad, waiting for 40 minutes to start, a half of the things on the menu was not available, etc. It’s also very irritating and annoying that even I booked 1 King Room with Sofa Bed - Non-Smoking 7.50% Tax is included. US$45 resort fee per night is included. 5% tourist tax is included. Your hotel still each night withholds again all taxes + resort fees. As I understood it will take some time before I will get my money back. This is very disappointing experience for me and gives me a lot of stress. I will never again come back here or book through booking.com

As a long time visitor of Marathon FL, We knew right away that Faro Blanco Resort would be our wedding destination. We have been coming to the property for years and this was by far the best visit yet. Newly, Fully Renovated, it was almost un-recognizable! The rooms are BRAND NEW and the hotel itself has never looked better.
Huge Shout out to Anna and her team for making the planning process seamless. The Entire team was so attentive and welcoming to our friends and family we will truly remember this visit forever.
Make sure to walk over to the courtyard for the lighting of the fires!

We booked two nights at this Pension through Pension.com. At Check-out they had counted us the two nights already paid! The Inn person at the time of Check out had clearly understood that the invoice was not good and that the invoice would be corrected.... Well nothing was done and we paid twice for the rooms.

The location is beautiful in Marathon but the actual hotel not great! We had no water pressure and the water was cold in our shower. We called twice and even went to the front desk to have fixed (three different day.) No one ever responded on three different days of trying to get fixed.

Cancellation fee is more than room rate. We are local and booked for family and friends coming. Rate $117, which seemed very low. Then unbeknown to me $180 resort fee per night. We had to cancel due to hurricane. Cancellation fee$150 a night. How do you say SCAM…
Try Isabella, nicer and no scams!

I am so sorry to hear that this information was relayed to you incorrectly. While we do charge a nightly resort fee, it is $35 per night, and this should always be disclosed at the time of booking. We sincerely apologize if this was not the case. In states of emergency, we are always very understanding and willing to allow last minute cancellations. Please feel free to contact me directly so we can get this issue resolved for you in a timely manner. I can be reached at kplatt@faroblancoresort.com. Kind regards,

This a great new property in Marathon. The hotel has been completely renovated with new and refreshed rooms. The beds were very comfortable and the room was clean. The property grounds are very nice and dinner in Lighthouse restaurant was great. I look forward to staying again next time my travels through the area.
