Rooms: variety and scale

Casa Marina Key West – Rooms

Casa Marina offers a wide selection of rooms and suites, including oceanfront and multi‑bedroom lofts.

  • 311 rooms across 4 floors with 22 named room types including Oceanfront Suite with Balcony and Oceanfront 2 Bedroom Loft - 2 Kings.
  • Accessible and hearing‑accessible rooms are available; many rooms renovated recently.
  • Room amenities and services tie into resort facilities (housekeeping, beach towels, in‑room coffee included with resort charge).

Casa Marina suits groups and families who need a wider variety of room configurations and oceanfront options.

The Gardens Hotel – Rooms

The Gardens Hotel is much smaller with 21 air‑conditioned rooms and a mix of garden cottages and rooms.

  • Room types listed include Garden, Deluxe Cottage, Carriage House, Treetop Room, Master Suite and Deluxe Suite King Bed.
  • Rooms feature Tempur‑Pedic beds with Egyptian cotton sheets and private furnished balconies or patios.
  • Limited front desk hours are noted; some accessibility features are available on site.

The Gardens Hotel is for travelers who prefer boutique rooms and a quieter property with garden-facing accommodations.

Dining & drinks: resort variety vs single-boutique outlet

Casa Marina Key West – Dining & drinks

Casa Marina provides multiple dining venues from beachfront to a historic ballroom setting.

  • Dorada (oceanfront Baja‑Med) serves lunch and dinner; Flagler's Restaurant serves breakfast and other meals.
  • The Canary Room is the resort’s signature cocktail bar with a daily happy hour; Morrison's Market covers grab‑and‑go items.
  • Private beachfront dining ("Toes in the Sand") and access to sister property dining options are available.

Pick Casa Marina for more on-site dining variety and oceanfront meal options.

The Gardens Hotel – Dining & drinks

The Gardens Hotel offers an on-site restaurant and two bars/lounges with daily cooked-to-order breakfast included.

  • Complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast served daily (8:30 AM–10:30 AM per listing).
  • Property lists one on-site restaurant and two bars/lounges for drinks or light dining.
  • Small, curated F&B offering fits the boutique scale rather than a resort dining roster.

The Gardens is convenient for breakfast-included, walkable dining and easy access to Old Town restaurants.

Pools, beach & signature amenity

Casa Marina Key West – Pools, beach & signature amenity

Casa Marina centers on its private beach plus two newly refurbished oceanfront pools.

  • Two oceanfront pools — one adults-only and one family-friendly (family pool depth 4'6").
  • Beach amenities include chaises, umbrellas, cabanas, daybeds and poolside food & beverage service.
  • Spa al Maré and beachfront spa cabanas tie directly into beach and pool relaxation options.

Casa Marina is the clear choice for guests prioritizing beach time and multiple pool environments.

The Gardens Hotel – Pools, beach & signature amenity

The Gardens Hotel lists two outdoor pools and a garden orientation as key on-site features.

  • Two outdoor pools available on the property for guests to use.
  • Poolside bar and outdoor furniture create a quiet pool-and-garden environment rather than a beach/party scene.
  • No private beach is published for the property in supplier listing highlights.

The Gardens works well for guests who want garden pools and a relaxed, central stay rather than beachfront activities.

Wellness & nightlife: spa and proximity to Duval

Casa Marina Key West – Wellness & nightlife

Casa Marina has a full-service Spa al Maré and a large fitness center plus scheduled beach yoga.

  • Spa al Maré offers massages, facials, oxygen facials, reflexology, and beachfront cabana treatments (open daily 9 am–6 pm on the hotel site).
  • Fitness center includes Peloton bikes and a range of cardio/weight equipment; some classes are complimentary.
  • Nightlife on-property centers on The Canary Room and oceanfront dining; Duval Street nightlife is reachable from the resort.

Choose Casa Marina if you want spa services and on-site fitness alongside beach-based activities.

The Gardens Hotel – Wellness & nightlife

The Gardens Hotel emphasizes quiet garden grounds and a short walk to Duval Street nightlife.

  • Supplier listing references spa/health or beauty spa nearby but does not publish an on‑site full-service spa menu.
  • Steps from Duval Street’s bars and evening venues for a short walk to Key West nightlife.
  • Property has a library and offers concierge services for arranging shows or reservations.

The Gardens is a good base for evening outings into Old Town without hotel-driven nightlife.
