Studio Suite, Ocean View

As the name says, this suite has ocean views. Casa Marina sits on roughly 1,100 feet of private beach, described as the largest private beach in Key West, so the water is the focus of your stay. Window guards are fitted in the suite.

The suite has 1 king bed with hypo-allergenic bedding and sleeps 2 guests, so it suits a couple or two travellers. A free crib is available for families with a baby, and connecting rooms are offered where available if your group needs more space.

The king bed anchors the bedroom, and a separate sitting area gives you somewhere to relax apart from the bed. The floors are tile and blackout drapes help you sleep in. Air conditioning keeps the suite comfortable.

The private bathroom has a bathtub or shower, towels, bathrobes, designer toiletries and a hair dryer.

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 housekeeping is provided on request.

A mandatory resort fee of about $67.50 per night applies. Per the hotel's policy, the Daily Resort Charge covers fitness center access, pool concierge services, beach chairs, umbrellas and hammocks, and volleyball and table tennis. Other listings also mention beach towels, in-room coffee and bottled water. WiFi is complimentary in public areas, while in-room WiFi is noted with a surcharge, so ask at check-in how it applies to your stay.

With one king bed and a sleeping capacity of two, it suits couples well. The resort has two oceanfront pools, one adults-only and one family-friendly, with poolside cabanas and beachfront day beds to rent. Spa al Maré offers massages and facials, and Sunrise Yoga is held on the beach on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings. The Canary Room lobby cocktail bar is open daily from 2 pm to midnight.

Casa Marina is oceanfront, with both pools just steps from the beach. Dorada serves Baja-Med cuisine by the ocean, and Flagler's Restaurant is in the historic Flagler Ballroom, with breakfast from 7 am. Morrison's Market is open daily from 6:30 am for coffee, pastries and grab-and-go lunches. Exact walking time from your suite depends on where in the resort it is.

Check-in begins at 4:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM. The front desk is open 24 hours. The minimum age to register is 21, and a government-issued photo ID and a card or cash deposit may be required at check-in. Late check-out is $50 per hour from noon to 4 pm.

The resort is less than a mile from Duval Street. The Southernmost Point is about a 15-minute walk, and Ernest Hemingway's House is about 20 minutes on foot. Guests also describe a 5–7 minute Uber ride to most destinations. Renting a car is often discouraged because parking is limited. If you bring one, self-parking is about $45 a night and valet about $50.
