#CASA MARINA KEY WEST REVIEWS PLUS#
Our room had a small sofa with a dining table plus a spacious closet and a mini fridge. The room was spacious and clean with a nice sized balcony and perfect views of the ocean and pools. The front desk agent was super friendly and already had an oceanfront upgraded room ready for us as a benefit of my Hilton Honors status. I booked a standard room with Hilton points and we arrived early at 1pm. The hotel is located just 17 minutes from the Key West airport. We read the reviews on Google and Trip Advisor and knew what we were getting for our Hilton points and it was a compromise that we were willing to make for the location, the private beach and the separate adults only pool that is oceanfront. The points redemption through Hilton was discounted and we hypothesized that the reason is that this hotel is a little outdated and in need of repairs and updating. My brother Chris and I chose this place for our vacation and to redeem Hilton Honors points that I have had sitting in my account. Definitely not worth the high cost as we felt this property should have been closed until all rooms have been renovated. Unfortunately the 3 guest rooms we stayed in were all run down with mildew in the grout areas of the shower, the sink faucets were literally coming off, the toilet broke a number of time, there were tiny ant-like bugs in the room, the smell of an old-age home permeated all three rooms, and so forth. Keep in mind there is no sand beach even though there are loungers to lay out along the Atlantic/Caribbean Sea. The lobby, pools, the fountain, outdoor bar / restaurant, and lounge areas were all lovely. However, the little money this property did have was clearly put to the common areas.
We were there 3 days and changed rooms 3 times. However, when the entire property is falling apart from age, mildew, out-dated everything in all the rooms there wasn't much she could do. Simply put - DO NOT STAY HERE! The Front Desk Manager, Nicole, did all she could for us so we have to say that she really was very helpful. 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. 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. Offered on-site is a booking centre for world-class diving, fishing and boating. 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. A stay at this Waldorf Astoria outpost can be pricey, but if you're a Hilton Honors member, you can accrue or cash in points by choosing to bed down here.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. Along with the comfy lodgings, Casa Marina Key West, A Waldorf Astoria Resort also boasts access to Key West's largest private beach and the Spa al Maré, which offfers a wide array of services, including oxygen facials and beachside massages. And the two outdoor pools overlooking the ocean have been described as nothing short of amazing by sun-seeking guests who have stayed at this Florida Keys resort.
Although some guests say accommodations here are a bit small and dated, they are still outfitted with modern amenities like Nespresso machines, iHome docking stations and flat-screen TVs. Guests, however, are enthralled by more than its historic ambience and away-from-the-crowd locale. Many of Key West's best hotels are clustered around Mallory Square – but this landmark property bucks that trend with its Reynolds Street address by the Atlantic Ocean.
