A wonderful relaxing stay, and we would come back again at the drop of a hat. Highly recommend this stay in an Aqualodge
Pros:

Very comfortable, very clean, very well equipped, and well sited with a great view from the verandah. Great swimming pool and very friendly and helpful staff.

Cons:

There was nothing not to like-it was an exceptional place to stay.

A great stay on the water!
Pros:

Staying aboard one of the houseboats at the marina was a pleasant surprise. I was back in Marathon to attend a reunion. I had lived aboard a variety of sailboats way back in the 1980's and being aboard an actual floating houseboat for three nights took me right back. Part of the check-in process was the signing of a bareboat charter agreement was a bit of a surprise, but no worries. Even though there is a working outboard motor attached to the stern of the houseboat and an actual steering station on the 'front porch', there was never the intention (nor permission) to go traveling. The cleanliness of the boat and galley was immaculate. The kitchen, while small, was fully equipped. The beds were firm and comfortable. The window curtains did a great job of blocking out the sun or security lighting. The air conditioning (two split units) did a great job of keeping the boat cool even in the heat of the afternoon and were amazingly quiet. I was also surprised at how little sounds from outside intruded into the boat. Aviation Blvd is a busy street but very little traffic noise intruded and the privacy screens kept the headlights from shining in. We enjoyed watching the sunset from the point and having bikes, kayaks and SUP's readily available to use made exploring the local neighborhoods easy.

Cons:

Our only complaint, which is certainly not the fault of the resort, was the no-see-um's that were active outside before sunset or when the wind dropped. But a liberal application of repellant made them tolerable.

Over all it was comfortable, well equipped, and the staff was very helpful and friendly
Pros:

It was family friendly. My kids loved the bikes seeing all the fish right from our room overall the property was very comfortable and equipped

Cons:

The only reason I wouldn’t give it a 10 out of 10 is because my room had a pee smell. I did let the staff know, but unfortunately, I wasn’t there when they came to change the rug.

Una experiencia auténtica
Pros:

Es un lugar muy auténtico, un parque de caravanas con estos bungalow sobre una de las lagunas. Es como estar en una caravana marina pero algo más espaciosa. Ideal si buscas algo auténtico.

Cons:

Tiene las limitaciones propias de una caravana, no es un problema si sabes a lo que vas. No es un hotel y hay que tenerlo claro.

No era lo que esperabamos. Sentimos que el personal debe estar mas atento a nuestras inquietudes.
Pros:

Nos gustó la parte del área donde dice que es playa por el paisaje y la tranquilidad. Aunque decía playa en la promoción del lugar, realmente no hay acceso al mar.

Cons:

El calor que hubo en la casa flotante. A pesar de que expresamos nuestra inconformidad al respecto desde el primer día, mi esposo tuvo que buscar a la recepcionista del lugar y esta nos explicó que era normal. Al 3er día era tan intenso el calor dentro que tuve que textearle al personal de mantenimiento del lugar para que arreglara la situación con el aire acondicionado, pero ya solo nos quedaba una noche allí.
