For a good time, relaxing wonderful getaway, Rainbow Bend should be your destination. Boat included is a real plus for snorkeling at the patch reefs. Friendly staff and comfortable accommodations were nice, Hideaway Café was wonderful and the atmosphere enchanting. Nice pool and great view of the ocean. Totally enjoyed it!!!!

We liked this place. It is a bit pricey considering the accommodations are a bit rough around the edges, but everything in the Keys (especially around Memorial Day weekend) is going to be overpriced. If you are looking for a fancy resort, keep shopping and expect to pay double the rate of Rainbow Bend. If you are looking for a... More

Chose Rainbow Bend due to their dog friendly policy and location. We arrived Saturday afternoon without a reservation, Barbara hooked us up quickly and we were in a room within 15 minutes. If you want the Ritz-Carlton, this is not your place. If you want the old Keys, laid back get away from it all experience, this is the place.... More

Another great stay at Rainbow Bend. Real Florida Keys Vibe. Great staff and by the way, you get a boat! Nice beach and real oceanfront property. Very clean and conveniently close to Key Marathon and most shops and restaurants.

We have been coming to the keys for years and have owned our own places. Now we live in California but still visit. We always came to the Hideaway to eat and thought when the time came it would be great to stay at the resort. It was well beyond our expectations. Old time keys living plus great breakfasts and...

Just like everyone else has mentioned, the staff is fantastic. We spent three nights at Rainbow Bend, and by the end of our stay we had made many new friends. This place is the epitome of "old school" Florida living. The pool is great. The boats were a highlight of our stay. The food and service were wonderful. If you... More

We decided to make our 40th anniversary special by a selecting a small and hopefully romantic hotel. Our expectations were so vastly exceeded that I can say that this was the premier trip of our 40 years. Yes, the Keys made it special, but the Rainbow Bend was beyond compare. Our suite was perfect for the two of us, the... More

Rainbow Bend is a great little resort on Marathon Key. Guests get use of a Boston Whaler which is a small boat with a big engine. We didn't use the boat for fishing, but for exploring the sea grasses and sandbars around Marathon. Rays, sharks, crabs, schools of fish, live conchs. Great stuff. Our room had a full gas stove...
