After being overbooked and cancelled by two hotels we found Glunz! I had a proposal planned and they got me checked in hours early, complementary bottle of wine and friendly people at the front desk. Room was clean, pool along the ocean was nice and fun bar/restaurant on site. Had a significantly better time here than the 4 star-$500 a night we stayed at earlier in the week!!

The rooms are extremely nice, some with great views if the gulf. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Havana Jack's restaurant and Tiki Bar is phenomenal. Matt is a great guy and runs a great crew. Both are a must visit if you will be in the Marathon Florida area.

What a lovely place to stay! We booked an oceanfront suite. I cannot say enough nice things about this hotel. The lobby is great - they have a cute little sitting area with books and coffee. They provide kayaks, paddle boards and bikes for your use. The manager Nele was the sweetest woman ever and showed us around and was so helpful with everything we needed. The room was clean, the kitchen well equipped. The restaurant next door was awesome with a live band at night. We also enjoyed the heated pool and spa. I just cannot say enough good things about our stay here. What a great location and we will definitely be back.

Everything you could possibly need for your beach vacation is here! We rented a first floor king suite with sofa bed. I was skeptical at first since I have two teens, but the couch made a very comfortable bed and nobody complained having to sleep on the sofa bed. The kitchen was fully stocked, and there was everything you needed from beach chairs, towels, coffee and all the things you need for coffee and even bathroom essentials so all you need are some groceries and you can enjoy the beach. Pool and beach chairs and umbrellas are nice! It was never crowded. And the restaurant next door was just steps away with great drinks and food. The live band could be heard while sitting on the patio. All together- great location! The only thing I would say is, we did not use the paddle boats, kayaks or bikes- this resort required a fee, regardless if we used them… we might have if the waves weren’t so choppy. …

Disappointing for the price! Saw great reviews, but there are a lot of paid reviews now and it throws off the ratings. We were disappointed with the size of the room, lack of privacy and the continuous smell of patrons smoking weed. There are much nicer resorts for just a few bucks more. Spend the extra money and look past the Glunz.

Thank you for the review. We're saddened to hear the Glunz Resort just wasn't for you. As for patrons smoking weed, this is something that could have been handled by management had we of known there was an issue. We hope that you will one day reconsider and give us another try.

it is a quiet and vintage style hotel. The rooms very spacious but a little out dated. The front desk people were very accommodating and very nice. It offers 2 pools, one heated with a spa and the other is not heated. The beach is a little tiny but is still breath taker. However, make sure you bring water shoes if going into the ocean. Overall, we would for sure stay there again. It was a change of pace from key west but we loved it.

The Glunz Hotel is a great find in Key Colony Beach. It is a family run business and the guests are their #1 priority. We have stayed the last four years and always have a great experience. Right beside a delicious seafood restaurant so it makes it even better!
