Oceanfront Walkout Suite

The suite has an oceanfront outlook and a lanai with walkout access, so you step outside to the water rather than just looking at it. Casa Marina sits on roughly 1,100 feet of private beach, described as the largest private beach in Key West.

The suite has 1 king bed in the bedroom and sleeps up to four guests. The bedroom has hypo-allergenic bedding and blackout drapes, and a separate sitting area gives the group more living space. A free crib may be supplied for families with little ones, and connecting rooms are available for larger parties.

The private bathroom has a bathtub or shower, towels, bathrobes, designer toiletries and a hair dryer. It is set up for a relaxed beach-resort stay.

The suite has a 65-inch LCD TV with premium channels, an espresso maker, a refrigerator, a laptop-compatible safe and a phone. Room service runs limited hours, and air conditioning keeps the suite comfortable. Wi-Fi is complimentary in the resort's public areas, while in-room wireless carries a surcharge.

The mandatory resort charge is approximately USD 67.50 per accommodation, per night. It covers fitness center access, pool concierge services, beach chairs, umbrellas and hammocks, and volleyball and table tennis access. Other listings add beach towels, in-room coffee and bottled water.

It works for both. Casa Marina welcomes children of all ages and has a family pool that is only 4 feet 6 inches at its deepest. Couples can use the separate adults-only oceanfront pool, and the suite's sitting area and lanai give you room to spread out on a longer stay. Day rentals of poolside cabanas and beachfront day beds are available at both pools.

Both oceanfront pools were newly refurbished and sit steps from the beach. Jet skis, kayaks and paddle boards launch directly from the resort's beach, and an on-site booking center arranges diving, fishing and boating. The beach also has chaises, umbrellas, cabanas and daybeds, and sunset cruises and sandbar trips depart from the resort.

Dorada is the oceanfront restaurant, serving Baja-Med cuisine, and it offers a six-course 'Toes in the Sand' tasting menu on the private beach. Flagler's Restaurant is in the historic Flagler Ballroom and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Canary Room is the lobby cocktail bar, open daily 2 pm to midnight with happy hour from 2 to 4 pm. Morrison's Market has coffee, pastries and grab-and-go lunches from 6:30 am.

Check-in begins at 4:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM. The front desk is open 24 hours, and guests must be at least 21 to register. A late check-out fee of $50 per hour applies from noon to 4 pm. Spa al Maré offers massages, facials and aromatherapy, and Sunrise Yoga on the beach runs Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 8 am.
