![]() ![]() Most spots we hit weren’t more than a mile or so apart, usually much closer than that. There’s not really a bad location to stay in Old Town Key West if you want to be close to everything. The Hemingway Home and Museum and Duval Street are less than 10 minutes away, too. The best beach in Key West for clear water and snorkeling is just 7 minutes away by bike or car at Fort Zachary Taylor Park. Close by is Casa Marina’s sister property, The Reach Key West, Curio Collection by Hilton, and a small entrance to Dog Beach. Higgs Beach, a public beach, is just next door with decent snorkeling. And while we were close to everything, Casa Marina was far enough away from the buzz of major tourism to feel like a quiet retreat. 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. There are also several restaurants and bars on the property that prepare delectable cuisine and create delicious cocktails, such as Sun Sun, Flaglers Cafe, RUMba and Ramblers.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.
