The Beach at Casa Marina Resort

Casa Marina Key West has been transformed so many times in its history, but we think the newest incarnation makes it the premier resort in Key West.  Located on the south side of Key West, right on its own private beach and facing the Atlantic Ocean, Casa Marina Key West is one of the loveliest places you can stay while vacationing in the Southernmost City.

Casa Marina Key West is a full blown resort rather than just a hotel.  That means you get on-site water sports rentals, gourmet dining, private beach, two swimming pools, full service concierge, and charter fishing right from their very own docks just steps from your door.  Rooms start at $249 per night.

The Casa Marina Key West resort area is larger than just about any other Key West resort.  Its location on the south side  of Key West near the Southernmost Point, rather than near Mallory Square where most of the other luxury resorts are located, allows it more space for everything from parking to wedding services to the expansive private beach, pier and docks.

Associated with Casa Marina Key West and located next door, is The Reach Resort.  Part of what they are now calling the Waldorf Astoria Collection, these smaller luxury accommodations start at $229 per night.  The private beach is yours to enjoy, and Old Town is just minutes away by bicycle.

For a resort experience, charming history, and full luxury with guaranteed quiet nights away from the bustling late night activity of Duval Street, Casa Marina Key West is our top choice.

Key West Hotel are known for Charming Architecture

Key West hotels and guest houses are known for excellent service and superb hospitality.  Your accommodations are an essential part of the Key West experience, as much as the sunset, water sports, and the Duval Crawl.  While the variety ranges from quaint, private conch homes converted into guest houses, to large chain resorts like The Westin or The Hyatt, the prices range from moderate to very pricey.  As far as prices of Key West hotels goes, the lower end of the scale just doesn’t exist.

For those on a budget, the Days Inn remains the best bargain.  With a large pool, plenty of parking, and cheap food nearby (i.e. The Waffle House), it’s the ol’ reliable for a no-fuss stay in Key West.  Compared to other Key West hotels, it’s budget-friendly at around $100 per night.

If you have a little more to spend, then your choices on the island are wide open.  The Waldorf Astoria has acquired Key West’s Casa Marina Resort, and starting at $249 per night, it’s still on the low side of Key West hotel room prices.  Of all the Key West hotels, Casa Marina probably offers the most historical charm, the most beautiful private beach, and great services and amenities.
