Drove from Florida City through the Keys down to Marathon – fantastic views on a single highway. Took a long time but worth it. We got a little anxious as we drove along because it wasn’t the nicest areas we drove through in that it seemed to be a bit old-fashioned and not up to date so we were wondering what the hotel would be like when we got to it. Blimey, we didn’t need to worry about that at all…
The Hotel was spectacular, 5*, Charlotte did extremely well to book this one back in Oxford!! We lounged around and played by the pool and wandered round the complex to get a feel for things, it was really, really nice after having seen some of the Keys and thinking how rough most of it looked. Big relief!
We booked a snorkelling session for a couple of days time and left the pool around 5.30pm to get ready to go out. We were not within the hotel itself hiring our own house within the grounds which was really special as well
We went out and had a simple meal in the harbour area and went back to the hotel and they were still swimming there which surprised us – we were slightly under the impression that would be frowned upon. Not at all. We didn’t go in and had an early night instead.
In saying that, before going to bed I got a crap email from Tucks saying that his planned wedding had been called off – I later found out after speaking to him that it’s more her than him that called it off. Such a shame, he’s really pissed off.
