Best for couples, families, and groups who want historic character, big beachfront lawns, multiple restaurants, and large event/wedding capacity.

Best for travelers who want a smaller, more contemporary beachfront hotel that’s closely tied to Old Town and shares amenities with Casa Marina.
Casa Marina Key West wins when you want historic scale, the largest private beach in Key West, extensive event and wedding venues, larger room inventory (311 rooms), and multiple on-site dining outlets including Dorada and Flagler’s. It’s the pick for families and large groups who need space and on-property activities.
The Reach Key West, Curio Collection wins when you prefer a more intimate, contemporary resort with a compact layout, direct private-beach access in a smaller property (150 rooms), and the ability to stay very close to Duval Street and Old Town sights. It’s a good fit for couples or travelers seeking a slightly quieter, boutique-feel beachfront stay that still shares Casa Marina’s amenities.
Bottom line: Both are Hilton-family beachfront sister resorts and guests at either can use shared facilities. Choose Casa Marina for historic grandeur, more pools, larger event options and bigger private beach; choose The Reach for a smaller, contemporary beachfront stay with easy Old Town access.
