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.

After a long flight from Boston and an equally long drive from Miami to Key West we arrived to our anticipated full week's stay at the Waldorf Astoria Casa Marina to find that the very pricey pre-paid luxury room with ocean view and balcony we requested/ were promised over the phone in January in the historical Flagler building for my railroad enthusiast's husband's birthday was met instead with a run down equivalence of a 1970's motel for $625 + a night (which wasn't even ready when we arrived). It was totally disappointing and completely unacceptable. Exhausted and exasperated my complaints to management were met with a "that's life" attitude. I was ready to demand a full refund and sleep in the car for the night. I cried and complained once more to the concierge who quickly got Jennifer Rubino for us. What a difference! She sprinted into action and made it happen. She gave us a room in the Flagler building. She made every effort to make up for our frustrations with a balloon and birthday treat for my husband, hotel comps. and other niceties to prove she was determined to make it right. Both she and her staff checked in on us. I knew we could finally relax and have the week we planned thanks to Jennifer! She is a super sonic manager and I would never stay here again unless I knew she was in charge. As for this hotel, the breakfast buffet is great and the property is nice. Expresso machine in the room is really nice too. However, there is no jacuzzi/hot tub, or full dinner restaurant on campus. Lobby music is too loud. Not everyone wants dogs (and their fleas) around, especially when they're eating breakfast. There was a dead bird on the pier ALL week. There is no shuttle to downtown/Duval like some other hotels which makes it tiring and hard to go downtown at night. Not what one expects when one hears the name Waldorf Astoria. Oh, and valet left our rental car UNLOCKED the first night there. Again, they made that right which was classy and appreciated, but it's tedious to have to think to double check their work. Jennifer Rubino needs to take over operations! Read less

Don’t think you will be going to the Casa Marina of times past. Not a luxury hotel. Horrible, cold rooms that do not reflect what one might think of a Waldorf. Maybe good for a business convention but not a family vacation. Overpriced. Dirty pool. Poor amenities and restaurants. Stay away.

The rooms were very outdated and small. They tried to make cheap looking repairs to the outdated rooms as well. The service was not good. We had to chase the pool service down.

This hotel is a stunner and the staff was so friendly and personable. Thank you for this luxurious and memorable stay. One recommendation - have dinner on the beach with your feet in the sand. I certainly can't do that at home!
