PB hotel design editorial

Planted on a five-acre peninsula where the Atlantic meets the Gulf of Mexico in Marathon, Florida, Isla Bella Beach Resort arrived in 2018 as a rare attempt to give the Middle Keys a resort of genuine architectural ambition. The low-rise buildings draw on the vernacular of traditional Florida coastal construction — white-painted clapboard cladding, deep wraparound verandas stacked across three floors, X-pattern balustrade panels, and cedar-toned deck stairs stepping directly onto the sand — producing a massing that suggests a well-established fishing community rather than a purpose-built resort. Blue-painted window surrounds and louvred details tie the exterior palette to the water on both sides. Inside, the interiors strike a balance between crisp resort white and the saturated blues of the surrounding sea. Rooms are furnished with lacquered white case pieces, silver-glazed ceramic lamps, and deep navy geometric carpet, while floor-to-ceiling curtains in a bold indigo palm-tree print — a pattern that recurs across roman blinds and scatter cushions — carry a confident tropical personality without tipping into kitsch. The pool pavilion, capped with a ribbed pyramidal roof, sets wicker chaise longues in geometric-patterned cushions against limestone-toned pool decking, blue-and-white striped umbrellas completing the nautical register. The waterfront restaurant opens its walls entirely to the bay, rattan armchairs and encaustic-patterned floor tiles grounding the dining room in a vernacular that feels closer to the Florida Keys' own material culture than to generic resort hospitality.

"My recent stay at this property was entirely compromised by front desk manager, Tarisha. She was a pregnant African American female with tattoos. We were explicitly told by staff that we could extend our stay for an additional night. Tarisha abruptly revoked this agreement, stating the room was booked, and forced us to relocate to a distant section of the property deactivated our room keys and granted a strict five-minute window to clear out all belongings, threatening immediate late fees if we failed, making this demand impossible and vindictive. This level of customer service is unacceptable for any hospitality brand."

"Great 2 night stay with the family. So many amenities and fun activities for kids. The resort goes above and beyond to make children feel welcomed at the resorts. Cute private beach, makes it a fun beautiful spot to enjoy the Florida keys. Otherwise, there are many pools to choose from at the resort so it never feels over crowded. The rooms were spacious and were perfect for our family of 5. Making it a comfortable stay all around! We would recommend, and highly consider going back in the future."

"As a local to Marathon, my family and I recently enjoyed a weekend staycation at Isla Bella Beach Resort, and we had the most amazing time! We stayed in a beautiful first-floor oceanfront room with a walk-out veranda, and I highly recommend it. It was so convenient to step right outside and enjoy the pools, while the kids had a blast playing ping pong, giant chess, and cornhole just steps from our room. The food was delicious, and every cocktail we tried was perfectly crafted. The entire staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive, making our stay even more enjoyable. One of our favorite surprises was the Marketplace's candy and gelato happy hours—the kids couldn't get enough! Even though we live nearby, this stay reminded us what a special place Isla Bella is. We will definitely be back for another staycation soon!"

"We recently enjoyed a multi-generational family getaway to Isla Bella Beach Resort, and it exceeded everyone's expectations! All of the rooms are oceanfront, and the first-floor accommodations with the walkout lanais were especially wonderful. The rooms are beautifully appointed, impeccably maintained, and incredibly comfortable. The grounds are immaculate, and the main pool's chiller made the water delightfully refreshing during the summer heat. The restaurants offered a great variety of options, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The cocktails were outstanding—be sure to ask Eric at the Burger Palace for a Hugo Spritz! The bartenders were fantastic, especially Chandra, and the servers provided exceptional service throughout our stay. A special shout-out to Nick at the Beach Bar for taking great care of our family. We had children ranging in age from 7 to 17, and they loved the daily activities, especially the hermit crab races, shark tooth hunting, and salt scrub making. There was truly something for everyone. We were originally planning a cruise for next year's family vacation, but after this trip, everyone voted to return to Isla Bella instead! Thank you to the entire Isla Bella team for an unforgettable stay. We can't wait to come back!"
