Key West, Florida Keys

Star rating

The hotel

Opened on New Year's Eve 1920, Casa Marina Resort is Key West’s original grand resort. Boasting a dramatic 'water walk' that leads to the resort's two largest swimming pools and the largest private beach in Key West, Casa Marina is a tranquil oasis close enough to the action of Duval Street. Offered on-site is a booking centre for world-class diving, fishing and boating, and it also has one of the largest fitness facilities in Key West, allowing you to work off those holiday indulgences! Guest rooms here are contemporary in style with whitewashed walls, textured tile floors and dark tropical hardwoods — a great place to retire to at the end of a busy day seeing the sights. For dining the hotel’s Sun Sun restaurant and bar, an open-air wood pavilion overlooking the pools and beach, is great for those seeking a casual atmosphere and plenty of that Floridian sun!! And as if all this wasn't enough, you can take advantage of the facilities at the sister property, The Reach, just one block away.

My wife and I spent a week at Casa Marina Key West, and we had an overall very good experience. Here are what we feel are the "pros" and "cons" related to the resort, grounds and amenities... Pros: 1) We were in one of the second-floor rooms with a balcony overlooking the pools and ocean. The view was great and the balcony was spacious with two loungers (and large umbrella) and two chairs with a table. The room wasn't large, but there was plenty of space to move around and ample storage for everything we packed for the trip. We found the room to be very clean. We had a king-size bed that was very comfortable. The pillows were not very firm, so we typically used both to sleep on. 2) The resort and grounds are beautiful. Well-manicured lawns and foliage. The main area inside the resort is beautiful and well appointed. 3) The pools (one family and one adult only) were clean and towels fully stocked. It was a busy week, so you need to claim chairs pretty early. 4) The entire staff was extremely professional and friendly. We didn't use daily room servicing as we wanted to be more eco-friendly. We kept the "do not disturb" placard on our door the entire time, but we received a text message daily from the resort asking if we wanted our room serviced, which was great communication in our opinion. We did ask for more bath towels once and they were left in a sealed bag outside our door. 5) We didn't drive to the resort, so can't comment about parking or valet. But ridesharing was very easy and we were able to get around the entire island at any time. 6) There are two restaurants on the property and we utilized both during our stay. The menu at Dorada is diversified, but pricey. Same with drinks. Be prepared to pay premium prices for food and drinks. 7) There is an in-room safe, which was nice for us to be able to store laptop and other valuables. Cons: 1) Food and drink prices are very high. But, that's pretty much true of any tourist location. If you want to spend less, then go to a local restaurant or bar. Tip: Stay away from the tourist trap venues. Ask locals where they go... 2) Bathroom was small with little countertop space. Shower was also very small (luckily both of us are of slim build so it wasn't an issue.) On the plus side, the bathroom was very clean. 3) Towels were very scratchy, which is something we didn't expect this being a Hilton property. 4) There was a lot of sargassum grass on the beach, which unfortunately is out of the resort's control. We live in NW Florida on the Gulf coast, which have some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. So...we didn't plan to spend time on the beach. All in all, we had a great week's stay at Casa Marina and we would go there, again. The only reason we didn't give it a 5-Star review was because of the very high food and drink prices and bathroom amenities as noted above. Read less

Our incredible experience with Casa Marina started before we even arrived. Evelyn, the hotel manager, reached out ahead of our trip to help me decide between Casa and their sister property. She walked me through the options, answered every question, and made me feel so confident that Casa was the perfect choice for our first trip with our little one — and she was absolutely right. As Hilton Diamond members, we were so impressed that the hotel truly honored the perks — and then some. We received an incredible upgrade to a huge oceanfront lanai suite that opened directly onto the beach. On top of that, we were granted early check-in (1pm), late check-out (1pm), and a $36 daily resort credit — all of which made our stay feel even more relaxing and effortless. Our room was beautiful — clean, spacious, with a super comfortable bed, and that massive lanai became our happy place. We spent mornings sipping coffee with ocean views and afternoons lounging on the daybed while our baby napped just steps away inside. Even with the “do not disturb” sign up during naps, housekeeping checked in via text to make sure we had everything we needed — a thoughtful touch that didn’t go unnoticed. The beach setup is next-level. Plenty of loungers and daybeds, and yes — servers come right down to the sand to take your order. I had a peach frosé in one hand and conch fritters in the other while listening to the waves… pure vacation bliss. The resort has two pools (family-friendly and adults-only), both with great service and lots of seating. The carne asada quesadilla from the pool menu was so good we ordered it twice. Beyond the beach and pools, the property itself is stunning — think hammocks, fire pits at night, lawn games, and oceanfront rocking chairs that are perfect for watching the sunset. We also had dinner at Dorada, and the food, service, and oceanfront sunset views were incredible. Bonus tip: the Old Town Trolley stops right outside the hotel, which was super convenient for hopping over to Duval Street without needing to drive or walk far with a stroller. Every staff member we encountered was kind, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. Huge shoutout to Evelyn and Tom for making our stay extra special. This was our first trip with our baby, and Casa made it feel like an actual vacation — peaceful, beautiful, and filled with little luxuries that made us feel cared for. If you’ve read mixed reviews, here’s the truth: this is a historic, iconic property that just went through a stunning renovation. It has the charm of a grand historic hotel, but everything felt clean, fresh, and beautifully updated. Our experience was nothing short of wonderful. We’re already planning our return. Still dreaming of another peach frosé on that oceanfront daybed. 🍑🌊 Read less

Jun 22, 2025 Erica W

Pros- Very friendly staff, comfy beds, nice pool, there were games to play but it was too hot for us to partake Cons- over priced drinks and food, water was not blue, room was not cleaned for two days and the day they decided to come it was after 4:00 and were already back, resort fee really doesn’t cover anything worthwhile,
