Casa Marina Key West, Curio Collection by Hilton

Key West, Florida Keys

Virgin rating

The hotel

Opened on New Year's Eve 1920, Casa Marina Resort is Key West’s original grand resort, and it's just been newly renovated again! 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 the largest fitness facility 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.

This hotel has been our favorite hotel by far. The property was gorgeous and clean. The staff was so friendly and attentive, Tereza on the beach was great! Loved that they came around the pool area and beach with Italian Ice. Everytime we left the room we came back to made beds, swept floors, & new towels. The hotel lobby smell is something I will try to replicate at home…so good. The breakfast was very good although a tad bit pricy but that’s expected at hotels especially in the Keys. We will be back and can’t wait to enjoy this gorgeous property again. Read less

Great experience! Perhaps, the best hotel in Key West at present. The hotel was recently renovated. Hotel staff deserves special gratitude. Our restaurant hostess Shikha served us hot tea after checking with several restaurants in the hotel. It was very late at night and only 2 bars were open. It was not even her job, frankly, and we felt her attitude was superb. Farida - front desk manager - offered several upgrading options to us. We were offered wonderful ocean view room for the price of a street view room after one night stay in the later. Her attitude was outstanding throughout our stay. The same could be said about other staff members! They are finishing some renovation still, but overall impressions are great ! Kind regards. Jason Kurilin Read less

Hilton casa marina (curio collection). -check in was a disaster. Arrived at 1pm asked if possibly room was ready, was greeted with “no way check back between now and 5” (check in was supposed to be at 3). It makes sense now, rooms are not cleaned before 4 or 5pm.

Hilton casa marina (curio collection). -check in was a disaster. Arrived at 1pm asked if possibly room was ready, was greeted with “no way check back between now and 5” (check in was supposed to be at 3). It makes sense now, rooms are not cleaned before 4 or 5pm. When I asked if I could store my luggage and go get lunch, reply was “not sure if there is anyone to help”. Checked into room (very small) and pretty worn. Chipped furniture, and a shower that did not drain. Again not the end of the world, but on a list of issues it’s just another. Pack your patience with the elevators they are very slow and crowded. Don’t get me started on the service at the pool or restaurant. All I can say is good luck getting what you need. I do not blame this on any employee, this is a GM and management problem. Went to pick up my car from valet and they brought the wrong car. Luckily I am not interested in stealing a random car or it would have been easy. Valet shrugged it off and said oops and quickly fixed it. I tell you all of this because despite the horrible service and mediocre rooms, the property itself is beautiful and the staff very friendly and does their best (despite lack of training). Property appeared adequately staffed with management, however they didn’t seem to be doing much to remedy the situation. This is my first time with Hilton I normally am a bonvoy loyalist, and I know why now. Good luck and I hope you get these issues resolved. I won’t be staying here again and will need to warn others. Best of luck Jennifer Williams Read less

It’s been almost a year when the outside bar door closed for renovation. So very happy to see some of the old staff, especially Jill behind the bar. Great job on the changes and updates. The revised menu looks good but need to ask, please bring back the roasted Brussel Sprouts. We look forward to spending many more years at your property.

Our family spent 3 nights at Casa Marina in mid March. We were nervous about the ongoing construction but it really didn’t impact us much since it was limited to the new beachfront restaurants. As Diamond members we were hoping for an upgrade but they said they were sold out so it wasn’t possible. Our room was renovated and while it didn’t face the beach we could see the ocean in the far left corner. The self parking option was nice and the lot is across the street from the main entrance. The service at times was a bit of a letdown. We had breakfast in the main ballroom one morning and never received drink refills and waited a long time for the check. The pool service also seemed very hit or miss but certainly more difficult around lunch time. We paid with points which meant we avoided the resort fee and overall thought everything was fine but I can understand if people paid over $1,000 for a room and weren’t always satisfied. Overall we loved the location with the large (for Key West) beach and not having to walk too far to get to Duvall Street but far enough that it was quiet. We would love to return sometime in the future especially once all the construction is finished. Read less
