It was a quick 10-minute Uber from Key West International Airport (EYW) and minutes to bike pretty much anywhere we wanted to go. It’s tough to beat the view and quiet location on the largest private beach in Key West. Still, we were charmed by Casa Marina and would make a return trip. It isn’t aging as gracefully as it could be, service (while friendly and accommodating) was stretched thin, room cleanliness was lacking, and the interiors needed a significant upgrade. It’s not hard to guess why: the property isn’t what it once was. My expectations were spot on and we had a lovely stay, but there were certainly some flaws in this diamond of Key West.Ĭasa Marina was a Waldorf Astoria when it first caught my eye but changed to a Curio Collection property in March 2022. I had a Hilton free night certificate to use along with some Hilton Honors points and considered Casa Marina a good redemption value for both my certificate and points. I chose the Casa Marina for its location, beach access, and historic allure. Overall, Casa Marina proved to be a fantastic home base in Key West. We were thrilled to explore this historic tropical island that’s home to Hemingway’s 6-toed cats, some of the best snorkeling in the Lower 48, and endless key lime pie. especially if you are expecting an immaculate stay in Key West & considering the Casa Marina Resort.I visited Casa Marina Key West, Curio Collection by Hilton in May 2022 on a long-awaited 3-night getaway to Key West with my husband.

The Resort had some of the most pristine & well maintained grounds, but when it came to the room & gym interiors, we felt like the ball was dropped. to each their own I suppose?!

Ill be honest, when I posted our Casa Marina Resort review on YouTube ( watch it here), I was so surprised by the amount of backlash from people, saying the roach wasn't a big deal. ![]() & I would assume you would feel the same way?! If I stay somewhere that is costing me over $300 for only a one nights stay, I expect it to feel clean, for one, to be in 'well kept condition', & to NOT be surprised by a roach in the middle of the night □. you would assume the room would be similar. I'll be honest, when you first arrive to the Resort, it looks AMAZING! The beach and grounds were so incredibly inviting and most of the time, if you see the outdoors area looking like a million bucks. why we wont stay at the Casa Marina Resort in the future. the piece of information you have been the most interested in.
