Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Go with someone else next time"

Knight's Key Suites

8/10 Good

"Inexpensive location to stay in Marathon. The room was cozy with air conditioning, and a living room with a table, kitchen, tv, and couch. No front desk but we were able to check in ahead of schedule. Quick drive to the middle of the Key where there were most of the restaurants. There was a bar walking distance. View of 7 mile bridge from property and Isla Market right down the street."

Courtyard by Marriott Faro Blanco Resort, Marathon Florida Keys

10/10 Excellent

"Room very clean and property well maintained. 4 pools to choose but infinity pool/bar was the best. Bartenders and waitresses were attentive and drinks good. Plus Starbucks by front desk(regular coffee complimentary). Easy check in, front desk staff friendly."

Sugarloaf Key Hotel at KOA Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I’ve got to say the room was the cleanest I’ve ever seen. When I can take off my shoes and walk barefooted and my feet stay clean I’m happy. The staff was marvelous, esp the bartenders. The ones that did Bingo and Kareokee were a lot of fun. I also ran into an older worker who was so very nice. The pool was clean and very nice as always the grounds. We really enjoyed ourselves and was very comfortable."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Sands?

The best time to visit Sands, Florida, is from March to May and again from September to November. These periods offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and generally more comfortable conditions for exploring.

Spring in Sands, from March to May, brings warm, sunny days with average temperatures ranging from 20°C to 28°C. The humidity is lower than in summer, making it ideal for outdoor activities like beach strolls, golf, or visiting the local nature preserves. You'll find the beaches less crowded than during the peak summer months, and accommodation prices can be more favourable. This is a great time for couples looking for a relaxing escape with plenty of sunshine and opportunities for romantic dinners by the water.

Autumn, specifically September to November, is another excellent time to visit. The summer heat and humidity begin to subside, with temperatures similar to spring, typically between 22°C and 29°C. The ocean remains warm enough for swimming well into October. This period also sees fewer families travelling, making it appealing for solo travellers seeking a tranquil break, perhaps for some quiet time on the beach or exploring the area's art galleries without the bustling crowds.

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival.

Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Sands hotel for you.
