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.

Image of the Tripadvisor rating Save your money. This hotel was no better than a Motel 6

Rooms were in poor condition, staff was very indifferent to rude. Honestly the worst Hilton properties stay I’ve ever experienced experienced. Location was fantastic, value for the money was poor. Very disappointing knowing that it is a Waldorf property.

Not worth it. “Resort” funny joke. Couldn’t clean our room the entire stay, rooms are dirty, old and nasty. There has been some room service plates with rotting food sitting outside an adjacent room... going on 2+ days now. We arrived at noon... and took them 4 hours to get a room ready. No bathroom by the pools... so what do you think that… Read more

No bathroom by the pools... so what do you think that incentivizes? Food was bad. Bartenders are bad. Service is bad. To sum it up.... this thing is gross and not even close to worth it. Don’t trust the trip advisor reviews. Terrible. Read less

The view was to die for but we thought we were going too since the room smelled so musty. Was worried that there was mold behind the walls. The bed was wet and we asked for a new mattress and pillows to no avail. Besides that the service was good, not great but the view and location are awesome.

We booked a suite at the Hilton Honors rate, we were then charged $500 more a night on the final bill . Also when we arrived they said they would call us when the room was ready but that never happened. We got passed the dirty tub, did not mind the poor mini bar( there was not one), or the lack of in room info and in room dining menu. Gift shop… Read more
We booked a suite at the Hilton Honors rate, we were then charged $500 more a night on the final bill . Also when we arrived they said they would call us when the room was ready but that never happened. We got passed the dirty tub, did not mind the poor mini bar( there was not one), or the lack of in room info and in room dining menu. Gift shop was only open 10-5. However the overcharge was the deal breaker. I spoke with the front desk and was told it was just an over sight. I explained that that's a big oopsie and our neighboring room also had 3 full smelly trash bags in the hall for the whole stay. He told me I should have called the desk to get it removed( It was not our trash). I did not know I was managing his cleaning staff that weekend. He also only gave us about $100 of our $150 room credit as it is supposed to be billed over 3 days not over 2. I carry a Hilton amex and this might be a reason to part ways with this hotel group. 2 stars, and that might be too much. Read less

Customer service and sanitation were the worst I have encountered in the hotel industry. They rented our room to another guests that arrived while we were having an intimate moment. The bathroom was so disgusting that I even took pictures of it, we ended up showering with our beach sandals on to not get an infection. We left the hotel on Sunday… Read more

We left the hotel on Sunday morning and I still have itching in my whole body and my husband bad stomach ache. Worst experience ever. Read less
