The world's best underwater park at your doorstep Just a stone's throw away from the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park is the Marina Del Mar Resort and Marina. Located on the southern end of Key Largo, the resort is a perfect choice for divers and vacationers who want all the perks without the fuss; where you can do as little or as much as you want. Divers have the best of everything, from some of the best Keys reef and wreck diving around to a dive center that's only a short stroll from the hotel. Ocean Divers is a full-service, PADI 5-Star CDC operation that docks its two dive boats right next to the hotel: Ocean Diver, a 50-foot Marine Management vessel, and the Santana, a 46-foot Newton. The boats each have a 32-diver capacity and feature freshwater showers, camera rinse bins and tables as well as fresh fruit. Ocean Divers offers full instruction at all levels, including the Instructor Development Course (IDC), Nitrox and Specialties. Equipment rental and gear storage are available, and there?s a retail shop located upstairs fully stocked with gear, accessories and logo wear. Aside from its great location, Marina Del Mar boasts a range of room styles to accommodate everyone?s needs from couples and honeymooners to families. Its 76 rooms include 48 double-occupancy rooms and 28 suites. They feature central air, color TV, refrigerators and Spanish tile floors. Most feature whirlpool tubs, which are a great way to wind down after a hard day of diving, and some have full or efficiency kitchens. Suites are available in studio through three-bedroom arrangements, and all rooms are available in smoking and non-smoking. Guests will enjoy starting their day with some hot coffee, bagels and pastries as part of the complimentary continental breakfast served every morning in the lobby. Sit outside and enjoy the marina view as boats cruise through the canals, then head to the Olympic-sized heated pool and Jacuzzi to work on a tan. Play a game of tennis or work out in the air-conditioned Nautilus fitness center. Lunch, dinner and nightly entertainment are there for the taking at Coconuts Restaurant, located adjacent to the pool. Or cool off at Sharkey's, located next to Ocean Divers - a fine watering hole after a day of diving or for evening drinks and a game of pool. Accommodations: Marina Del Mar has 76 rooms in several configurations. Prices range from $99 to $349, depending on room style and time of year. Call ahead for exact rates.
