Best kept secret in Marathon!
Great family vacation getaway. Super quiet and relaxing. Friendly staff and excellent food at the restaurant. If you’re looking to relax perfect destination. Sunrise views are spectacular.

Peaceful and Beautiful!
The views and location are unbeatable! The beach and pool are beautiful, the rooms are huge and clean. It’s a nice quiet relaxing place to stay, and all the activities on the Keys are an easy drive from here. The breakfast is delicious!

The view is one you will not forget!
I'll be honest- I hesitate to even give a review because I want to keep this treasure a secret for when we go back, but the staff and owner deserve an amazing review. This was hands down the coolest place we (as a family of 3- including a 13 yr old) could've stayed. The property is directly on the ocean and it's an absolutely stunning view. The palms bend right over the lounge chairs and pool making for gorgeous photo opportunities. The resort offers clear bottom kayaks and paddle boards for you to enjoy and even has cornhole boards ready to play. It's a perfect location to snorkel or fish. The rooms are a little outdated, but clean, and who goes on vacation to stay in the room anyway... Staff was very accomodating and the breakfast was yummy!

Enjoyed our stay.
Enjoyed our stay at The Rainbow Bend. It’s an older place that has some areas for improvement but the property is great. The restaurant on premises didn’t look like much but after doing some research it sounds like it’s one of the better places in the keys to get some really good food.
Carina, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We really enjoyed our stay at Rainbow Bend. The staff was very helpful & friendly, complimentary breakfast was delicious, loved the pool & beach & all other services. We would have liked to have had an outdoor grill for barbecuing.

This was our second time stayingnat this resort. Good location close to town but out of the business. Its very quiet with its own beach area. We would for sure stay here again when staying in Marathon

Rainbow Bend was a beautiful place to stay! Not only can you literally walk straight to the beach, but they have an amazing pool and hot tub. The staff was very helpful and very friendly and the place that we stayed at was so much nicer than what I thought we would get so it was amazing to walk into, our place and see how big it was. I highly recommend you stay here.
Amy, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Deceptive and falsely advertised.
We got baited by fake photos of a cottage on the beach but ended up in a loud adjoining room on the highway w/ super loud traffic and in perfect earshot of next room’s convo. Total yuck!
Debra, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property and staff are amazing! Breakfast is included and cooked to order. The views from the private beach are breathtaking! The only gripes are about the thin walled rooms, you can hear your neighbors every move, and no conversation is private. The rooms have been nicely updated and modernized with new bathrooms, flooring, and paint. If I was not such a light sleeper I would go back.
