One of my best hotel stays
*An Intimate Escape on the First Coast*
Our recent stay at the Marker 8 Hotel and Marina in Saint Augustine was, without question, one of the best experiences we've had along the First Coast. From the moment we arrived, the warmth of the welcome set the tone for a truly memorable visit.
The check-in process was seamless and friendly, immediately making us feel not just like guests, but like valued friends. Entering our room, we were captivated by its comfort and thoughtful touches—every detail seemed designed to ensure relaxation and ease. The highlight, however, was undoubtedly the stunning view: from the terrace of the tranquil bay and the marina, a living painting that shifted with the light and tide.
What truly distinguishes Marker 8 is its boutique spirit. The hotel’s smaller size grants it an atmosphere that is both personal and intimate. There is a sense of quiet exclusivity here, a respite from the bustle of larger resorts. It’s clear that care and attention have been poured into every aspect, from the inviting common spaces to the pristine grounds and the outdoor terrace that surrounds the spa.
Throughout our stay, we felt enveloped by a genuine hospitality that is all too rare in today’s world. Every interaction, whether with the staff or simply enjoying the serene setting, reinforced the sense that Marker 8 is a place where guests are known and treasured.
In every way, our time at Marker 8 Hotel and Marina was simply splendid.
