Location: beachfront quiet vs. harborfront action

Casa Marina Key West – Location

Casa Marina sits on more than 1,100 feet of private shoreline at the quieter, beachside end of Old Town Key West.

  • Private beach access with chaises, umbrellas, cabanas and on-site watersports.
  • Less immediately walkable to Mallory Square and Duval Street — good if you prioritize beach time.
  • Close enough to central Old Town that taxis, rideshares or a longer walk connect you to main attractions.

Pick Casa Marina for a beach-focused stay away from the busiest harborfront crowds.

Ocean Key Resort & Spa – Location

Ocean Key Resort & Spa sits at Zero Duval beside Sunset Pier and Mallory Square on Key West’s harborfront.

  • Immediate access to waterfront restaurants, sunset viewing and Mallory Square’s nightly activity.
  • Good base if you want to be steps from Old Town’s galleries, bars and boat tours.
  • Waterfront setting emphasizes harbor and sunset views rather than a large private sandy beach.

Choose Ocean Key to be in the center of Key West’s sunset-pier and harbor life.

Rooms: beachfront suites vs. harbor-facing guestrooms

Casa Marina Key West – Rooms

Casa Marina has 311 rooms and suites with a variety of oceanfront, pool and garden views after a recent renovation.

  • Room types include Oceanfront Suite with Balcony, Oceanfront Walkout Suite and multiple ocean- and pool-view configurations.
  • Accessible rooms and family-friendly layouts are available.
  • Many rooms and suites focus on ocean or pool views, tying the accommodation to the beachfront setting.

Casa Marina’s room choices are geared toward guests who want beachfront views or family-size suites.

Ocean Key Resort & Spa – Rooms

Ocean Key offers a range of room types (from Partial Ocean View Guestoom to Oceanfront Boutique Suite and one-bedroom harbor suites).

  • Room names on record include Deluxe Oceanfront Guestroom, Oceanfront Boutique Suite and several junior-suite and harbor-view options.
  • Several accessible room types are explicitly listed.
  • Some rooms prioritize harbor or partial-ocean views and compact luxury layouts for downtown stays.

Ocean Key’s rooms suit travelers who want harbor or sunset views and close access to downtown attractions.

Dining & drinks: oceanfront Baja‑Med vs. waterfront Old Town options

Casa Marina Key West – Dining & drinks

Casa Marina emphasizes oceanfront dining with Dorada, a lobby cocktail bar and additional casual outlets.

  • Dorada serves Baja‑Med cuisine and offers a special 'Toes in the Sand' tasting experience by reservation.
  • The Canary Room is a signature cocktail bar open into the evening with daily happy hour.
  • Flagler's Restaurant and Morrison's Market provide breakfast and casual options.

Casa Marina is for guests who want beachfront meals and a mix of casual and more formal oceanfront dining.

Ocean Key Resort & Spa – Dining & drinks

Ocean Key lists on-site restaurant and bar services alongside poolside bar and happy hour options, and sits amid Mallory Square’s dining scene.

  • Supplier listing notes bar, poolside bar, restaurant breakfast, happy hour and room service.
  • Location places you directly near many independent waterfront restaurants and sunset-pier dining.
  • Breakfast-in-room and room service options are available per supplier amenities.

Ocean Key is best if you want to eat and drink in the heart of Key West’s harborfront dining circuit.

Pools & beach or signature amenity

Casa Marina Key West – Pools & beach or signature amenity

Casa Marina’s headline amenity is its private beach plus two oceanfront pools — one adults-only and one family-friendly.

  • Two refurbished oceanfront pools with pool concierge service; family pool depth listed at 4 ft 6 in.
  • Private beach with watersports launching directly from the sand and rentable cabanas/daybeds.
  • Shared access to sister property The Reach’s amenities is available.

If beach space and multiple pool atmospheres matter, Casa Marina leads here.

Ocean Key Resort & Spa – Pools & beach or signature amenity

Ocean Key is best known for its immediate harborfront position at Sunset Pier and hotel pool facilities.

  • Amenities list both outdoor and indoor swimming pool options, plus a poolside bar.
  • Water-sports and tours/ticket services are available nearby; however, a large private beach is not listed.
  • Pool and waterfront seating put you close to sunset viewing and pier activity.

Ocean Key’s signature draw is being on the harborfront at Mallory Square rather than a large private beach.

Wellness or nightlife

Casa Marina Key West – Wellness or nightlife

Casa Marina blends Spa al Maré, a large fitness center and scheduled beach yoga with quieter beachfront evenings.

  • Spa al Maré offers beachfront-cabana services, massages and facials; open daily with standard hours listed.
  • One of the largest fitness facilities in Key West, with Peloton bikes and group classes.
  • Evening options include The Canary Room and oceanfront dining for relaxed nights on property.

For wellness and calmer evening experiences on the beach, Casa Marina has strong offerings.

Ocean Key lists spa, massage and fitness amenities and puts you steps from Mallory Square’s nightly sunset crowd and nearby bars.

  • Spa and massage services are included among the resort amenities; fitness center and yoga room are available.
  • Nightlife and sunset events at Mallory Square are immediate — good for guests who want lively evenings.
  • Happy hour and late bars are noted as part of the hotel's food & beverage setup.
