Stayed at the Royal Hawaiian for the week of 6/08 - 6/15/13. Very enjoyable stay. Boater friendly, rooms very clean, crystal clear swimming pool, extremely friendly and helpful staff, quiet yet close to every possible dive shop, tackle shop, restaurant, etc. you may ever need. Good boat ramp and location. Instant access to Gulf or Atlantic. Can't wait to book... More

Fourth time we have stayed at the Royal Hawaiian and won't be the last. Phil and Laura understood we traveled afar and made our room available at 12:30 am. Ocean and Gulf at the end of the canal. Vaca Cut bridge is right there, we saw tarpon rolling under the bridge. On the other side of the Vaca Cut bridge... More

Staying at the Royal Hawaiian has been a great experience for my family and I, I definitely recommend this motel for any family. The service was excellent and the rooms were amazingly clean. Loved fishing from the dock and grilling our catch, while the rest of my family enjoyed the pool. We will definitely be back next summer!!!!

Our first time at the motel. Stayed Memorial Day weekend. The grounds were very well maintained and the room super clean. We had a room with the small kitchenette. Has everything you need. This is a great location for fishing. Loved docking boat behind our room and the old Keys feel. Will definitely return.

We had a great weekend with the family. We have stayed in this hotel for over 5 years with all the family and its great. The boat's accommodation, you park your boat behind your room and you just have to jump in and you are five minutes away from the ocean. Everything is super clean.

Stayed here in the Keys about 8 years ago. It's centrally located in the Keys, and easy for a day trip to Key West. The room we had was very clean, and recently refurnished. Yet it still retains the "old Florida feel". The owners are very friendly and accommodating. They ensured our stay was trouble free. The next time I... More

When you drive by, the signage makes it look a little shady, but it was awesome! Clean, friendly and extremely cooperative staff. They were helpful with everything we asked for. We will definitely be back here! Great value, and definitely Marathon's best kept secret.

I randomly picked the Royal Hawaiian Hotel/Botel off of a Google Maps nearby hotel search... this was the best thing I did for our vacation. This spot is a little piece of heaven. Not only are Phil and Laura (the couple who manages the hotel) some of the most friendly and generous people I've ever met, but the hotel itself... More
