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.

As others have mentioned, this hotel needs a complete revision of the rooms and management. The outdoor and pool areas are nice but the rooms and service are terrible. Dated rooms in poor condition. Nonexistent maid service. Lackluster concierge and front desk staff. Waldorf Astoria needs to gut this place and hire new management.
Image of the Tripadvisor rating Extraordinary place to stay! The service was impeccable, the accommodations were beyond expectations.

Dirty couch. Lumpy bed. Old furniture. No snacks or beverages in the room. Load air conditioning. Grossly overpriced. Not up to the level of a $1500/night room. Don’t think I will ever stay there again

This place is run down despite them charging very high prices for rooms that are mediocre at best. The staff are friendly but do not go above and beyond in my opinion.

This place is run down despite them charging very high prices for rooms that are mediocre at best. The staff are friendly but do not go above and beyond in my opinion. Beautiful location but a waste of a hotel as the Waldorf Astoria did not do any renovations so I’m surprised they put their name on this place. They could use a full make over and maybe a TV show to come and help them out about how to please a customer who drops a small fortune for a family trip. Read less

If you are searching… keep looking! If you are at the hotel, RUN! This was the worst hotel I have experienced in many years! When we booked it was over $1000 per night plus a resort fee and I can honestly say a motel 6 would’ve been better. This was not worth more than $85 per night and the only reason I have it that price is because it is pretty much the only hotel with a beach view set up. The interior looks like it still has furniture from the 1950’s, mildew around the columns outside, mildew pretty much all over the building, pieces of the stucco and ceilings were missing and clearly fallen off, there were ants all of the balcony which was so small, the shower was tiny as well and probably would’ve touched the walls when bathing, there was a duck tape around the bottle of the legs of the sink, and the ceiling in the room was clearly painted over where the had been repaired or had leaks and it was unevenly painted. I did not want to sit or touch anything. I was uncomfortable! When I sat on the beach, the beach chair collapsed and I saw it was being held together by zip ties. They advertised 3 restaurants and only 1 was open when we asked. When we explained to the manager that we were highly disappointed and disgusted with the room and hotel, we were told because we could not get a refund and check out because we were pasted the cancellation period and would be charged for the first night but could get refunded for the other nights. Whether we stayed or not, we had to be charged over $1000 for the first night. Needless to say we had just checked in, got in our room, and immediately called the front desk asking to leave and get our money back. So if we had known it was this horrendous, we would have never made reservations or even checked in. So we stayed that night and was out of there immediately in the morning. Unpacked nothing. Didn’t shower or anything. It was horrible. Immediately made reservations for the Marriott Key West Beachside and it was 1000% better! If I could give zero stars I would! The Casa Marina should be condemned!! Read less
