Description:	Discover the wonder of the Florida Keys during your stay at The Reef at Marathon Resort Club. This part of the Atlantic Ocean is superb for water sports. Specta- cular coral reefs are in the area for you to explore while scuba diving, snorkeling, or via a glass-bottom boat. One of the most famous areas is John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, 50 miles away. If you prefer to enjoy the ocean from land, you can soak in the sun or stroll along the public beach, two miles away. At the resort, you'll find a heated outdoor pool, tennis courts, paddle boats, canoes, row- boats, bicycles, and many other amenities.

Pros:	Location, beautiful grounds, unique treehouse accomodations
Cons:	hurricane damage last year so check their website

My husband and I have stayed here for many years. The resort is always a pleasure to stay in. Nice large pool, huge game room for the kids including ping pong and pool table and a nice walking dock with a small beach along the gulf. Beautiful views and lush, tropical landscaping. Very unique units/"pods" that have excellent storage underneath with laundry facilities for each unit. This was great for storing rafts, fishing poles, coolers, bikes and any other big stuff. It comes with a key for locking. Nice tropical furnishings and very convienient to grocery (Winn Dixie) which is right across street. It is also close to excellent beaches - Sombrero beach is behind the grocery, down a road and on the ocean side. It has the 1950's style patio areas that are covered, beautiful trees that are great for photgraphy, and also had an owl that had a nest burrowed in the ground which was roped off for protection. Interesting. One of the top 10 beaches in the country is just a few miles down the road called Bahia Honda. It is a state park and the views are breathtaking. You have a choice of two different types of beaches. One is a secluded lagoon with the 1950's patios and quiet water that you can snorkel in. The snorkeling is incredible (awesome fish) and the water is shallow enough for children to enjoy.The other side of Bahia Honda is wild and windswept with waves and is on the ocean side.There are facilities to shower, eat and shop. This resort is close to party boat and deep sea fishing. It is located in the middle Keys so a day trip to Key Largo for snorkeling, Islamorada for fishing or Key West for fun is easily in the cards. If you do catch fish be sure and have them fillet it on the boat and carry it to some of the local restaurants for them to fix. Excellent, cheap dinner. Don't miss the sunset toast in Key West for a great time. Adults and children will love the street performers on the water. My husband and I had scheduled a trip to the Reef last year but the hurricanes did some pretty heavy damage to the grounds and game room, so I would suggest checking their website before you make any decisions. Enjoy it for a laid back vacation! We certainly did!!!
