This hotel is overpriced and, in my experience, engages in misleading advertising. As a local who visits the Florida Keys frequently, I have stayed at many hotels throughout the area. This was my first stay at Casa Marina, and I was genuinely excited because I had heard positive things about the property.
I booked an oceanfront king room and was extremely disappointed. I arrived around 9:00 PM and found that the room had only two small windows, one in each corner. The only view was of the pool—certainly not what I would consider an oceanfront room. Thinking there had been a mistake with my reservation, I called the front desk. After explaining the situation, the staff member told me that I couldnt see the ocean because it was nighttime and that I would see it in the morning. Unfortunately, that was not the case. The room simply did not match the oceanfront description advertised on the website.
Beyond the room issue, the hotel itself felt outdated, had an unpleasant odor, and did not live up to the expectations set by its reputation or price point. I also became ill after eating the fish tacos on the property.
One of the hotels main selling points is its private beach, which is advertised as the largest in Key West. However, during my stay it was covered in so much seaweed that guests couldnt access the water. Overall, this stay was a complete waste of money. The staff was not particularly welcoming, the room did not match what was advertised. Would not recommend.

Place was as expected. Nice, clean and front end staff were extremely friendly and pleasant. The only issue I experience was a lack of sufficient staff for pool service. We would arrive at the pool and sit there for at least 30 mins and see 1 person pop in and out but not pass by us, so I went to the bar to order drinks myself. After the we sat down with the 1st drinks, we had the server come up to us about 30 mins later to take an order for a 2nd round but after that round we watched him run around but seemed overwhelmed. We waited to see if we could get his attention and after failing, the 3rd round was on me again. At this point we just decided to leave. Great place but do not expect a well catered to staff outside.
