The hotel

Opened New Year's Eve 1920, Casa Marina Resort is Key West’s original grand resort! After a $45 million dollar renovation, Casa Marina became part of the Waldorf Astoria Hotels and Resorts. 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 Resort 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. Casa Marina also has the largest fitness facility in Key West, allowing you to work off those holiday indulgences! Guest rooms at Casa Marina Resort 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, 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, a Waldorf Astoria Resort, one block away.

Nice hotel in a good location. It's on the beach. Exceptional grounds, spectacular views. Rooms are adequate but small, which is expected in a vintage hotel. Bathrooms are extremely small and not well appointed.

The location was great. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The rooms was very clean with a great view of the ocean and pool area. The birds were a bit of a hassle for outside dining, maybe it's part of the charm.

after stay during a weekend, I do feel betrayed for my fidelity program, when I use my money/my points, to stay in a hotel like this one. The complete lake of maintenance, renovation and cleaning is clear in several areas of the hotel

After reading all of the recent reviews we were very worried about how our stay would be. Luckily we didn’t need to use the Lysol and roach spray I brought with us. It’s a beautiful resort that needs updating which is planned next year I think. We had a very nice visit and especially enjoyed that the family pool was separate from the adult-only pool. Our room was clean and bug-free. My only real complaint is the poor service quality from the staff. They were usually not very friendly, most never looked up and acknowledged or said hello to us. The breakfast hostess was extremely unhelpful. While waiting for a table, I asked for a cup of coffee and she told me to go inside and ask a server for it. Of course there was no one to be found to help me so I had to serve myself. Also, if you want a coffee and are not getting breakfast, they will direct you to buy one at their coffee shop. Even the Hampton Inn offers free coffee guests. We chose the Waldorf Astoria to take advantage of our Aspire Card and Diamond level benefits. After this Waldorf experience, I’m considering not renewing my Aspire Diamond status and switching to Marriott and staying at Ritz’s where the customer service is 100X better. Read less

The Casa Marina has some things going for it - good location, lovely pools and grounds and a pretty sand beach.

The Casa Marina has some things going for it - good location, lovely pools and grounds and a pretty sand beach. However, to get to our room we had to walk through a poorly maintained courtyard and down a long dark hallway. The room itself was in need of updating, had a small bathroom and was generally very average. And while the bedding was very nice, it could not mask the fact that the mattress was clearly in need of replacing. The one meal I ate at the bar was very average and was overpriced. The breakfast buffet did not look like it would be nearly worth the price tag. Overall, this is a very nice place, but it does not live up to it's branding as a "luxury" resort. Read less
