Just got back from Sunny Key Largo and thought I would write a short blog about my experience!!

When we arrived, we rented a convertible from Dollar, but they didn’t have any in stock so they gave us a 2010 Chevy Camero. Not bad I guess, at least we didn’t have to pay extra for it! We left the airport and headed down Hwy 1 to avoid paying tolls. BIG MISTAKE. Pay the $3 or $4 dollars and take the Toll Road, you will get there a lot sooner!

The Marriott was such a wonderful property! When we arrived they had fresh cookies for us and ice water in the lobby. We were upgraded to a Bay View with a balcony without even asking.

Rooms: We got a room with 2 queen beds. It was perfect. Not to big, not to small. Very clean. Beds were super comfortable, I wanted to take the pillows home with me!

Beach and Pool: The pool was really nice; it even had a hot tub that was connected to it. The hot tub was nice to get in at night! The Beach was a little small but was perfect to me. The water was very clear but there was a lot of that sea weed a few feet out from shore. Great for snorkeling!

Restaurants and Bars: We ate at Gus’ Grill one day for lunch and the sandwiches were yummy! The bar by the pool was refreshing during the day. But my favorite was the Tiki Bar. The two bartenders we had were Lena and Mario. Super friendly people and they gave us great tips for places to eat. There was a guy (I think his name was Jimmy Ray) that was playing music there that night that was really good. He looks a lot like Eddie Murphy.  

All and All this property is highly recommended by me. 

 

We did eat at three different restaurants when we were down there. The first night we got there we ate at Sundowners. It was practically right next door which made it very convenient. Once we arrived we were in for a wonderful treat, it has been rated the best place to watch a sunset in all of Key Largo. The food was excellent too. I had Pasta and my husband had Salmon. 

Then the next morning we ate at Docs Diner for breakfast. This is definitely a locals place. Best breakfast I have had in a long time. Order the Biscuits and Gravy.

That evening we ate at Snappers. This place is very unique. We all ordered seafood here and it was all fabulous. You must order the alligator for your appetizer. If you want to see pictures of the Marriott and other spots in Key Largo find us on Facebook!
