    We really enjoyed our stay here, everything was top notch! You get a welcome margarita at check in and they offered it a couple more times too. They also give smoothies by the pool at noon and chocolate chip cookies in the afternoon. We got the one bedroom suite and it was quiet and beautiful inside. They provide robes, slippers and have memory foam pillows but you can also ask for a regular one. Also comes with a coffee maker and bottles of water every day. You can even ask for towels for the beach. The staff really made you feel welcome and like they truly want you to have a great stay. I will recommend this place to everyone.

    Wedding on Smathers Beach

    We had our reception at Margaritaville and the wedding across the street on Smathers Beach all coordinated through Margaritaville. They had a couple mishaps but Erika resolved them within 20 minutes! Also while she was sick at home. Just shows the lengths their team were willing to go to make sure our day was perfect! Since Erika was sick the managers took extra time with us to make everything beautiful! It was great to work with Erika, Roman, Levani, Nino, Kenya and Alex what a wonderful team. Thank you guys for everything!!

    The shuttle going into town
    Michelle W.

    I loved my stay here. The rooms were clean, the staff was nice and the shuttle to and from town was amazing. John on the shuttle bus is a gem! He knows his history of the area, and gives awesome recommendations. He was such a light for the trips to and from downtown. The fees for the resort are pricey, but the stay was nice all in all.

    We tried to check in early (before lunch) but there were no rooms available, so we did all the check-in paperwork, then hit Duvall St. for some fun! We eventually made it back after sunset for a snack and nightcap. Bar area was packed, so we got a table. The staff here are so friendly! I mean ALL the staff. The front desk, servers, housekeeping, they were all so lovely! Our room was comfy. The shampoo, condition and shower gel smelled so good! Kind of spa-like but with a hint of the tropics. The beach was nice. I've never seen a beach where the water was completely flat. It reminded me of the Universal Studios backlot where they have Falls Lake where a lot of ocean/lake scenes for the big screen are filmed.

    The pool at night!

    What a great place to stay in Key West! The resort is spectacular, the pool amazing, the rooms so well appointed, the staff from reservations to check-in to bartenders, to housekeeping! everyone is friendly! The Tin Cup Chalice restaurant has great fish tacos, burgers, BLTA sandwich and more!

    With Theresa

    Our stay was wonderful because of the staff at this Margaritaville. The staff works together as a team and we especially appreciated all those at the desk - Brimm, Chris, Angie and Theresa. Each was willing to share their knowledge of the area and this contributed to a great stay . We found the staff to be efficient, friendly, accommodating, and helpful. Every morning for breakfast, Anita greeted us with smiles, and a hug! She started out the day for us in such a positive manner. The location for our family was perfect. It is across the street from Smathers Beach which is beautiful and the Hotel provides a shuttle to the downtown area. My only suggestion would be that the shuttle runs every half hour as opposed to every hour.

    Batu, Hotel manager greeted us the first morning after we arrived and spent several minutes going over the resort qualities and history in KW. He talked to us every day we spent at the resort and the day we left he made a point to say good bye and have a safe trip. Top notch guy. I'm sure he inspires the rest of the resort staff. Jason (Food and Beverage Director?) - We spent a day at one of the pool Cabana's and Jason made sure it was setup for us and ready to use early in the morning. He went over all amenities offered at the resort. He also made a point to say hello every day and ask if we needed anything. Wayne (Front Desk) - Wayne greeted us upon our arrival and was very accommodating. He offered us cold fruit water and went over our resort perks. We are Margaritaville perk members. He was friendly and very accommodating. Levan and Kate - Tin Cup Chalice bartenders. These team mates made our stay unforgettable. The went above and beyond any service we have had at a resort or cruise ship. They really deserve the gold metal in our eyes. We can't wait to get back to see them. Agata (pool attendant) - Agata was a tireless worker around the pool area. She took care of the restrooms, which were always spotless, picked up dirty towels and provided new one for those just arriving. She was always on the move, cleaning, picking up after folks to make the pool area look clean an inviting. Every day we made a point to talk to her, she was a very sweet lady. Victor & Pablo (Tin Cup Chalice night bartenders) - Very attentive and courteous. They went over the specials and provide us with recommendations for food and drink. Destiny (Pool Bar bartender) - A very hard worker and always on the move. Working the pool area has to be a tough gig, especially in the heat we've had. She worked tirelessly making sure all the guests had food and beverage and enjoyed a clean pool area. Luann (Margaritaville shuttle driver) - She was very passionate about Key West and making sure she could provide as much high value information as she could in her short trips to town or the resort. She always had a smile on her face. Christina and Carmille (Tin Cup Chalice servers) - Serving breakfast with a smile is very important and these two made the start to our day a pleasant one. Excellent servers who were always smiling. Shea (Front Desk) - Shea greeted us with a smile and went over our folio thoroughly, just to make sure we had no questions. She offered to hold our luggage until we were ready to leave the resort. On a side note, I would like to add the food at the resort was 5 star. Far better than many resorts we've stayed at. Kudos to the chefs and kitchen help. Smathers beach is across the street and is a nice beach Typical Atlantic ocean beach, with some seaweed in the water, but nothing crazy. A nice sandbar a few hundred feet out or so. Umbrella's, chairs, and kayaks/paddle boards offered at a cost(not associated with the resort).

    Yes they validate your parking. Make sure to ask for that before you leave the restaurant.

    Giving a solid 4 stars. Honestly its much easier to list what could be improved. And considering…read morethis environment, I can only think of a couple. 1. Hot Tin Roof Restaurant. The breakfasts for the price taste dismal and lower quantity. 2 eggs bacon, toast, and chopped potatoes a bit over $20 as most other dishes plus smaller sizes if you just want a donut or similar. The vibe I get is for breakfast this place is for guests who have a hotel package that includes free breakfasts. They also charge a 18% mandatory "service charge" and of course another line for the tip. We didn't do dinner here. I hope its better than the breakfast. 2. We booked under The Edge Chase Sapphire Reserve so its $100 property credit and free breakfasts for 2. When you consider "service charges" tips, taxes, and determine what the credit can be used for, it becomes a bit confusing. I know for a fact that laundry is not included, neither is the $50/day valet parking. Sort of an resort advantage to keep the guest guessing. Drinks food, spa i know are included with the $100. The valet guy was cool and informative. Considering the small island size and the cost of everything, this was a great stay. The room and balcony overlooking Malery Square plus the ocean and Sunset Island were fantastic. I have stayed at many locations over the years and this was by far the best. Pegasus on Duval is a dump. Both Hyatts are nice but on east side of the island so transportation becomes an issue. Do you really want to drive close to Duvall....if you can find a space, then pay for parking? This place is 2 blocks from Sloppy Joe's, Hogsbreath, next to Malerly Square and sunset pier. Walking distance to the hot spots at night.

    Terrible hotel building with terrible customer service…read more Building is old and consist of few buildings combined. Need to change elevator 2 times to go to your room. Rooms are nicely decorated but not what you expect for $1000 a night. They are way over priced for the quality. Front desk staff is terrible. Don't know how to handle issues which you will have plenty. We didn't have AC 2 out of 3 nights and they didn't even feel bad about it. They said basically it is what it is and we have to deal with it. One night they moved us to another room and they were acting like they were doing us a favor. It was major problem for us. second night they moved us to our room which has broken AC And gave us boxed fan to cool off. Front desk manager is clueless and don't know how to handle issues and he has kids working for him who do not know how to handle anything. They are like teenagers. I would never ever stay there again and warn anyone not to there. Oh you will wake up 5am because of dumpster trucks getting the trash and it takes like 20 min. Another thing is their damn roosters , they start 4am and won't let you sleep. Jesus, it was 3 days of hell!

Con: From the exceedingly long check in time due to only having one person, John, was occupied at the front desk by a customer complaint . When we booked I told them it was to celebrate a birthday and John did absolutely nothing to accommodate a birthday other than a free key lime pie coupon for someone who doesn't like key lime pie. Even though the hotel was no where being full, very low occupancy, he tried to upsell us to a better room. The lobby air conditioner was also not working properly. The lady in the excursion/gift shop was unfriendly, not informative when we asked a question, like she just didn't want to interact with the resort guests. The coffee shop closes very early, at 1:00 PM. The pool is very very small. Once we got into our room the hotel power went down and everything had to reboot. The TV only has a few stations, and NO local, Key West stations to watch on the tv. Hyatt Centric wants you to download a tv station on your own phone for info about Key West. No things to do book in the room like most places have or room service menu. Pro: The room was nice and cold and spacious. They had clean rooms. And couldn't beat the location. For a very expensive hotel sadly this one missed the mark.

Check-in was busy when we arrived, but the staff remained friendly, patient, and accommodating. We've stayed here several times over the years, including during the renovations, so we've seen the resort through all its phases. It's wonderful to see everything almost completed, and the property looks great. Throughout every visit, the staff has always gone above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. One thing we've learned is that if you have a special request, just ask , they're happy to help whenever they can. Our two-bedroom suite was perfect for our family. We love the layout and found it incredibly comfortable. While many guests prefer the ocean-view rooms, we actually enjoy them, even with the occasional cruise ship in the harbor. Besides, you're in Key West! Take a walk and explore, you'll find gorgeous ocean views all around the island. The location truly couldn't be better. You're within walking distance of Duval Street, Mallory Square, great restaurants, shopping, and so many Key West attractions. We also had dinner at the newly decorated Lolita's Coastal Cocina, and it was absolutely delicious. A special thank you to Damir K., who has been wonderful throughout our stay. His hospitality, along with the rest of the staff, is one of the many reasons we keep coming back. Keep up the great work, Opal Key...we're already looking forward to our next visit!

The property has a bar, café, concierge, and a small restaurant serving breakfast. Our room was spacious, the bed was very comfortable, and the shower had excellent water pressure. We also enjoyed having pool access. The pool was definitely the highlight. It is saltwater and has separate adults-only and children's sections, which was a huge plus. The pool attendants were wonderful, and the pool manager did an exceptional job. Their service is the main reason I would give this hotel three stars instead of fewer. Unfortunately, housekeeping was very slow. Our room was not serviced until around 4 p.m. most days and was not serviced at all on Sunday. This was especially odd because housekeeping staff could be heard speaking loudly in the hallway very early in the morning. We also had one very uncomfortable experience at the hotel bar. A heavily intoxicated gentleman was yelling racial slurs while another woman played country music loudly from her phone. The bartender was alone, and there did not appear to be any security support nearby. We left immediately. Ironically, we had planned to attempt a little ghost-conjuring of our own one evening, given Key West's spooky reputation, but our plans were quickly interrupted by the very drunk man in the lobby yelling racial slurs. It was certainly not the supernatural encounter we had in mind. The hotel does have beach access, although we avoided the beach because of the significant seaweed issue, which was not the hotel's fault. Overall, Casa Marina has a beautiful pool, comfortable rooms, and a convenient location, but the housekeeping delays and bar incident made the experience feel inconsistent.

    Stayed here recently as typical Marriott guests. This was one our first experiences with Hilton as…read morewe are thinking about changing companies & there isn't much to choose from from Marriott in Key West. We will give Hilton a few more shots but based on this first experience we wouldn't make the change. Obviously this hotel is lovely. Beautifully decorated and appointed. However there were quite a few misses in the rooms themselves that made the stay a little odd. I realize it is a converted military base and they were working within preexisting parameters but even so, had some details just been thought out like at all, it would make for a better customer experience. The bathroom in our room, for example was not humongous, but not small by any means. There was so much wasted space. No towel bar at all despite there being two completely bare walls. So our hand towel and washcloths had to just sit on the counter. Okay, sure, except vanity itself was very small. Like comically small for two adults to share. So once the towel was there and the glued down vanity tray there wasn't really room for anything else. So our toiletries and my makeup ended up on the floor for our stay. Again, not a huge bathroom so that got claustrophobic quickly. The shower was tiny. Like comically small. No wall niche or anything to put our toiletries on so they just sat on the floor - again taking up valuable standing room in a comically cramped shower. Ladies if you have a razor with the gummy bumpers that get stuck to surfaces if not allowed to dry completely - there's not where for that to happen so get ready to have to replace your head when you get home. The shower turns on on the same wall as the shower head and because it's so tiny you have to fully step inside to turn it on so you'll get soaked every time you shower. Make sure you take off your clothing before turning on the shower. Then the towel hook is parallel to the shower head but outside of the shower so you have to fully exit the shower and reach over the toilet to get your towel. So you're cold. Have to clean water off the towel and floor afterwards (but there a perfectly fine bare wall right there...who designed this space?) These are more specific to our room, but our shower door also did not close and left about a half an inch gap. So hot air constantly got out but so did water. Lots and lots of water all over the floor every shower (see photo). The next issue was a metal cut out on the ceiling that was rusting. Like there was dripping rust in one corner. That was a bit alarming and kind of gross honestly. Our vanity mirror was broken on all 4 corners (see photos) I have a feeling it'll just going to fall apart one day soon and someone will have a big complaint about that as it is dangerous. Lastly, remember how I said there no counter space? In one of the times I had to bend over to pick up my products from their bag stored on the floor, I saw the under-mounted sink that had mold growing all over. Cool cool...that's just the bathroom. The room itself is lovely. Beautifully decorated. Truly. But that's where the "luxury" ends. The TV did not work consistently. Sometimes it did. Sometimes it did not. Sometimes the sound & the screen weren't synced. The outlet in my nightstand wasn't attached so when you went to plug anything in it sunk into the drawer and was unreachable for the entire stay. Cool. There are no closets, just a rod with hangers and a bunch of random hooks around the room. Our curtains didn't close all the way so hope you don't plan to sleep in on your vacation because you won't get to if you are light sensitive like me. Not that that mattered because had construction going on that started at 7am...ahh so relaxing. No apology by the way. We upgraded to an ocean view with a balcony. The view was gorgeous. It truly was a great way to start my *all too early* vacation morning, however we had two smokers who were also enjoying their view with cigs and that put a damper on it for us. I don't want to smell your cigs at 7:30 am over coffee. They also added a little clear bannister to the original facade. I imagine this is for modern safety compliance. Cool, however it is not fully attached and created this tiny tunnel where things get trapped. Our balcony alone had some old food trapped in there and it was getting moldy. Because it was clear we could clearly see that and I kind of can't believe no one had taken care of it. That's gross and unsanitary and now two separate places with mold in our room. Do they think the salt from the ocean will carry it and sanitize it? I also had an issue prior to checking in where not one but two staff members were rude to me over the phone while trying to book a luxury dining experience that was not bookable online. Needless to say we skipped that. I have more to say and an additional complaint but this is all Yelp /Google will allow for characters...

We were so excited to find out there was live music every day at the pool, only to be disappointed when most of the time it was not that good! They also allow locals/ non guests to come in which we heard several times while we were out from people and it was proven true! The bar/restaurant hours were so odd and it closed pretty early for being the only food in the place! Do not expect early check in or late check out- they do not accommodate this even though they text you to ask when you will be arriving! We only had someone clean our room once during the 6 days we were there! We ended up bringing our own trash out everyday, finding someone for toilet paper/towels, etc! This trip was for our honeymoon and it was just disappointing to spend so much money to get the bare minimum!

And inside the building the decor is keys typical but done so well and the entrance up the stairs is great. I also love that they have a private garage beneath the resort. Once we got our keys, we passed through the pool areas (more than one pool) and it's lovely; so tropical with tons of palm trees and other plants and it's kept so nice. We arrived to our room and was so pleased, so clean and decor made us feel good. As nice as everything was I wanted to go out for the night and the location for this can't be beat. Right by the Bight Marina so we have a lot of restaurants/bars to choose from like Boat House, A&B Lobster, Half Shell Raw Bar and Schooner Wharf and in the morning you're right by Cuban Coffee Queen. Also the location is walkable to Duval Street so you have more restaurants more bars and lots of action.
