I cannot wait to go back, and this will be the first hotel I will try to make reservations.… If in room luxury is a criterion, you may want to wait until they finish renovations. Our room had a mini-frig the only complaint if you call it that was, we would have liked a microwave in our room. We had an in room safe, robes, and umbrella. If you do plan to go, ask for the new wing of the resort also realize it is an old historic resort built over 100 years ago the bathrooms are large enough, but they are not huge like at some of the newer facilities. The hotel is a short ride-share cab ride to downtown. We ordered breakfast from DoorDash and ate breakfast in our room. The pool bar/resturant is open late I believe until close to 10 we only ate there was, and it was great. Housekeeping was quick to respond to our needs. At the pool before you could even sit down the pool staff were there quickly to apply pool covers and give us towels. Travis is wonderful and I wish I could recall the bellman's name who made sure we were taken care. Anything we needed or questions we had were immediately addressed. When we checked in due to my Hilton Honors status, we were upgraded to a 2-bedroom suite facing the ocean. When we made our reservation, we had a health care hero discount. I cannot say enough good things about the staff. The outdoor was well kept and beautifully landscaped. Yes, the pier is damaged but there are two on either side of the resort. However, we did not get in the ocean there were rocks at the entrance, but we were told there was a beach in short walking distance we could get in. We sit on the beach, and it was not an issue. I watched off my balcony as a machine was vacuuming it up every morning. There is sargassum seaweed washing ashore at all of Key West right now. There were 3 of us and all of us loved our experience at Casa Marina. The porch furniture as in many resorts close to the ocean has some wear and tear but again not an issue for us. Our room was immaculate we did not have any mold. The furniture is a little outdated it was not scratched and it was very sturdy and clean. Yes, it is in need of some renovations I was informed by the front staff when I made my reservations, they would start renovating in the near future, so I was well-informed. I travel several times a year to "top resorts”, and I would rank this among my favorites. It is like we stayed at 2 different resorts yet were there at the same time. I did not see any of the issues others have posted. I was hesitant to book based on the reviews however, I am so glad we did not cancel or rebook to another hotel.
