It had free breakfast but it did not open until 8 so we were unable to use it. Wi-Fi code did not work and office was closed so could not get help

The property looks nothing like the pictures. There are many other places to stay with better pricing and offerings. I would not recommend staying here.

So let me start by saying that we have stayed here before., and had a wonderful time. My wife just had her 2nd birthday beating leukemia and this was how she wanted to celebrate.
We traveled from Philly area starting at 4:30 AM and got to Rainbow bend around 3:30 after a nice stop at bass pro for lunch and shopping. when we tried to check in we were told the room we reserved was not the one we were getting. she (Jeanette) stated we reserved thru Expedia, and that was the issue. I told her we also called the lodge to confirm. She was not hospitable at all! She wanted to put us in a room facing the road. I asked if there wass one facing the ocean and her response was if there is it may cost more and we would have to pay for it! this woman should never be allowed to talk to guests. Her response was - she was having a bad day. I told her to get over it and solve the problem, She had a crappy attitude so i got right back at her and she asked if we wanted to cancel our reservation. At that point my wife (the reasonable one) asked to see her manager. The manager (owner) came and got us into a very nice room facing the beach. the beach is very nice with corn hole games and kayaks. the grass in the water is a bit smelly and totally not swimmable. the pool was very nice and always clean. it is a nice place but i don't think at this point we will be back. If you go, call the place and schedule directly with them.

It was very nice. The staff constantly checked in with us to see if we needed anything.

It was a quiet, clean resort nestled right on the ocean! We sat out on the deck at night and looked up at the bright stars! Breakfast, kayaks and bike usage was included with our stay!

It was nice to be at a property that was not crowded and right on the beach. Our 2 bedroom had plenty of space. Free parking and breakfast. Kids enjoyed playing corn hole. Our room had great views. Actual beds were comfortable. Nice to have kitchen but no fry pan to cook our quesadillas in. They do need to do some painting and maintenance in that room. Our sofa bed which we paid a premium each night for our 5th person ($60 each night) to sleep on had issues so the person had to sleep on top of the couch and not use the bed and sheets. The room was decorated cute. When we first walked in it smelled very bleachy and musty so we had to open the windows each time we entered. We picked the place because they had kayaks, SUP, and bikes to use. Water around property was super shallow and grassy (it is on Grassy Key) so only went out once and not for very long. Our son wanted to use a paddle board but no one was in the office to get a paddle after we checked in. Used pool but no towels available which was okay since hot. It was a quiet place right on a beach and sort of a half way point if u are going to Key West. All the pictures on Expedia for the room we paid for did not match up with the room we got.

From the expedia price we paid in advance, we then had to pay a top up resort fee of $15 USD when checking in.
Water is not beach/swim worthy. Fun playing corn hole on the beach. Pool was great for the teens.
When pulling out the pull out couch, the blankets were in a ball dirty.
Just a pain calling getting new blankets as the office was already closed.

This property has potential but it is not maintained. In our suite it still had three very old metal windows that desperately need replaced. We could feel lots of hot air coming in and ants also. We had the King signature suite, room 12. This room was pretty noisy as it was on the main walkway. In general our suite was clean. The kitchen and living room were very good size. The couch was made out of plastic or something like that. It was sticky so we didn’t sit on it much. The kitchen had a full size refrigerator, microwave, sink and a two burner stove. The cabinets looked newer and in good condition. The utensils and silverware that we were provided were dirty and covered in grease so we had to wash everything. The bathroom was huge but had maintenance issues. The sink was falling off the wall and ants were coming through the opening. It had no water pressure and it took forever to drain. The shower was very large but it also had an issue with the shower head coming off and very little pressure. The trim that was supposed to hold the water in was loose so water would make a lake outside of the shower stall. We put a-lot of towels down to soak it up. The bedroom was nice and big with a dresser and closet with a few hangers. It was very loud at night with people walking by and dogs barking. The overhead light did not work. The bed was comfortable and had plenty of pillows. My biggest complaint is they do not clean the “beach” The water access is disgusting. The pool was dirty.

I realize I am a hard sell. The suite we were in was nice and well taken care of. Need to upgrade bath towels though. We were in the signature suite and when you were on the balcony all you could see was the lot next to Rainbow that was full of garbage. A 10-minute sweep could take care of that. Also, lots of "stuff" in the parking area that should be removed, i.e. boxes with things in them and an old boat. We enjoyed their breakfast. All-in-all it was a pleasant stay and we would go back there.

I I will start with a good. The small beach is beautiful and the cooked to order breakfast by Jose was delicious. Now for the disappointing our room was number 18 right on the highway. It was very noisy but when you entered the room, the air conditioning was very loud so it’s rounded out, there was no place to put our suitcases , no closet and no chairs in the room to sit.

Rainbow Blend is a great spot in Marathon close to lots within a short drive. The hotel rooms are all updated and nicely appointed. We had a 2nd floor room with a balcony overlooking the water. The hotel has a very nice pool and hot tub overlooking the ocean.

The AC was not on when we arrived. Only one set of towels for double occupancy booking. Open food left in room. Musty smell in room. Ironing board in the main room. Shampoo, conditioner, and soap dispensers were empty. Floor was dirty. I wasnt asked if I enjoyed my stay at checkout.
We were very disappointed across the board.

This place was amazing! Staff checked on us 2 times a day to make sure we had everything or if we need anything. Tv didnt work at first but staff was available to fix it for us! The waterfront view was breathtaking and the room was clean and full furnished! The breakfast was perfect and just enough. We definitely will be back again!
