Concierge "The 311 rooms are now airy and loftlike... rooms in the original building are the best, for their idiosyncratic layout and 15 rooms with large balconies."
Travel + Leisure "Rita Hayworth and Gregory Peck are among the stars who once stayed at this revamped 1920 compound, another product of Henry Flagler's bold vision." Full review
Gayot "Boasting Key West's largest private beach (at over 1,000 feet), Casa Marina Resort is a tropical escape just minutes from the island's main attractions."
