“Really nice place for our family, would go back again.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 March 2011

Stayed at Indigo Reef for week at the end of Feb. 2011. Flew down to Miami then rented a car and drove to Marathon (the dirve is every bit of the 2.5 hours that googlemaps says it is, so budget your time accordingly). The condos were pretty sharp looking and really clean. The kitchen was well-outfitted with everything that we needed (and we often cook our meals when we travel). The beds were quite comfortable both the king my wife and I had and the two twins our children had (ages 10 and 12). The condo had a washer and dryer, which really helps as we don't want to check luggage if we can avoid it. Furnishings were ok, nothing to write home about, but they did the job for the week. Oh, almost forgot, there were 6 beach towels for your use in the condo. That's a real bonus in my book. On the downside, this condo, while great isn't dripping with warmth. In some of the other places we've stayed, there were cool odds and ends like board games, journals which past residents filled out, extra beach "stuff", etc. I kinda missed not having a place with personality, but I got over it pretty quickly. Also, the grounds are very pretty and well maintained.

Perhaps the coolest surprise was the 3 decks that the condo had. One off of our master bedroom, one off the living room and one off the kids bedroom. Most of the units looked to have a very similar layout, so I don't think you could wrong with any of them.

The pool was really warm and had salt (not fresh) water, which was a surprise. And the pool area was one of the nicer parts of the grounds...really big with lots of great plants/trees.

The condos had many older adults, but they were pretty tolerant of kids playing and splashing around (my son only got growled at once when he splashed a woman reading a book while lounging in the pool...my son says, 'come on lady, you're reading a paperback in the pool, what do you think is going to happen.')

Overall, I'd return to this condo complex, but I'm not sure that I'd go back to Marathon. We had a good time, but in a week, we did most of what we'd want to do. I would recommend that if you want a "party-boat" fishing experience (where lots of people go out to fish together), you use the Marathon Lady, which is right across the street from Indigo Reef. It was a really great time and they did great with my kids! We caught a ton of cool looking fish, really unique.

Also, within a short drive (or walk to the drug store) was most of what you need: gas, grocery, liquor, etc. I love not having to travel too far for this kind of stuff when on vacation.

“Center of it all”

We had a great week's stay at Indigo Reef. It's central location in Marathon, FL meant even the farthest stretches of the keys were less than 1.5 hours away. With Bahia Honda State Park less than 20 minutes from our door, we couldn't have asked for better accommodations. Our townhouse, #25 was a roomy 3 bedroom. Although we (2 couples) only used 2 bedrooms I can imagine the place holding 2 families, with kids very well.

I don't think we ran into more than 5 other people at a time during our entire week-long stay. Of course we stayed during a slow time of year 10/9 - 10/16. The pool was spacious & well maintained. The grounds were beautiful @ the geckos, anoles & iguana were all interesting to watch.

“Fabulous luxury, great price.”

If only we could find an Indigo Reef in every location around the world, I would be truly happy. We initially chose Idigo Reef as a second choice really, as we could not get the availability over New Year at Tranquility Bay, which on paper seemed the better resort, due to the facilities etc but how lucky we were. We did visit Tranquility Bay for a meal at the Butterfly Cafe and a good Nosey around and although good, it did not offer the privacy or serenity of Indigo Reef, although Indigo Reef does not have a shop or restaurant, there are a number of choices within walking distance and more within a few miles but you do have to self cater and or drive to get to most places. After New year, we almost had the entire place to ourselves, the pool was lovely when heated, although I think they did turn it off when most people left after the holidays and it was a little chilly then. The houses are fantastic with great views and everything catered for. Any problems (there were very few) and the local management team sorted it out very quickly. We stayed in a 3 bedroom villa and I think I will definitely go again. £ for £ I don't think we could have got this sort of quality accomodation and surroundings anywhere else in the world over New Year, it was a real find. I only wish Singh resorts would create more of these elsewhere in the US, as soon as they do, please let me know.

Just returning from another fabulous stay at Indigo Reef in Marathon, FL. This was a returning trip for our family that was there for the first time two years ago. If you love to boat, love to swim and love to veg well then this is the pplace for you. Our family rents a boat for a weekfrom Tropic Boat Rental. The accomodations are great, roomy and very clean. We were near the pool that made it very easy to bring drinks out to during our swims.

“Probably one of the best places in the keys for families and boaters”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 April 2010

I agree with all the other reviewers, stayed in unit 52 had a great time, 3rd time here, make sure your boat slip is in front of your unit. Apparently the dockmaster has been fired so that would seem to negate the one bad review i read here. highly recommended
