There’s nothing more satisfying than going home with a Best of Marathon award … unless it’s a stack of them. Seven businesses, and one local spot, took home multiple awards in 2019. Congratulations!

BEST OF THREE
Faro Blanco Resort brought home three awards — Best Marina, Best Pool and Best Resort. Pictured are the resort’s Ashley Keeney, left, April Ross, Aaron Emerson, general manager Karen Thurman, and Travis Morgan.
Florida Keys Steak and Lobster House was a top-three finalist in many, many categories but closed the deal on Best Place to Take a Date, Best Fine Dining and Best Blood Mary. Representing the Marathon restaurant are Cara O’Neil, left, owner Maria Ely, Bianca Zambrano and Bianca Ceja.
Overseas Pub and Grill’s Brian “Cheddar” Geitz and owner Dallas Cook also received three wins — Best Bar, Best Late Night Spot and Best Bartender. (Hmmm, we’re sensing a trend here.)
