Book the beach, not the spa: Casa Marina lists no wet facilities.
Spa al Maré sits at Casa Marina and also serves sister resort The Reach, with no guest, non-guest or day-pass policy published and the spa outside the $60 resort fee. Casa Marina is open with 311 renovated rooms, and its 1,100-foot private beach is the one it calls Key West's largest. Right for a beach-and-pool stay with a massage, where treatments carry a 20% gratuity; wrong for a spa-first trip.

Spa Treatments
Spa al Maré sells a priced massage, facial and body menu, but booking is by phone or contact form only. Its web menu runs from $110 for 25 minutes to $285 for 80, before a 20% gratuity, and lists facials, body packages and waxing. Google rates the spa 4.8 across 265 reviews, with Paula, Jessica and Julie named for over a year. At 6.8, it sits tenth of the fifteen Keys spas reviewed so far, behind a 7.25 median among the other fourteen.
Spa Facilities
No sauna, steam room or hot tub is listed at Spa al Maré, and no treatment-room count or size. Spa al Maré and the hotel publish no wet or thermal element, and a January 2026 guest confirms there are no hot tubs. Beachfront cabanas are the only treatment spaces the spa names, with oceanside massages at an added $50 a guest. At 3.8, it sits tenth of the fifteen Keys spas reviewed so far, level with Southernmost Beach Resort, against a 4.45 median among the other fourteen.
Wellness Programs
Casa Marina offers a 24-hour gym with Peloton bikes, pools and a private beach, but no included classes. Fitness center access extends to The Reach's gym, two heated oceanfront pools, one of them adults-only, and the $60 resort fee covers lawn games and Thursday-to-Saturday Backyard Activities. Sunrise Yoga runs $30 a person, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 8 a.m. At 6.0, it sits eleventh of the fifteen Keys spas reviewed so far, against a 6.4 median among the other fourteen.
Staff & Service
The resort's staff draw about three times as much praise as complaint, but front-desk and housekeeping misses keep coming up. Guests name staff who return for over a year, including spa therapists and front-desk regulars Patrick, Tim and Ayla. Front-desk and check-in problems show up in 7.0% of stays and housekeeping in 5.3%. At 6.5, it sits eleventh of the fifteen Keys spas reviewed so far, level with two, behind a 7.5 median among the other fourteen.
Experience
Casa Marina's aging building and repeatedly faulty elevators are the stay guests should expect. Elevators failed from October 2024 into August 2026, and one of the two pools closed in July and August 2026. Platform ratings stand at 4.3 on TripAdvisor, 3.7 on Google and 7.6 of 10 on Booking.com. At 6.0, it sits twelfth of the fifteen Keys spas reviewed so far, behind a 6.8 median among the other fourteen.
Value for Money
Guests on Booking.com rate its value among the Keys' lowest, and peak nights cost more than most. Booking.com guests rate its value 6.9 of 10 across 401 reviews, among the lowest we have rated. The typical rate across the major booking sites for Saturday 27 February 2027, checked 6 October 2026, is about $1,153 all-in, against a $1,002 median among the other Keys hotels with a figure. Of 1,110 TripAdvisor and Google reviews, 213 complain about cost, mostly the $60 fee and parking. Low-month nights cost about half peak.

Other Hotel Facilities
Casa Marina holds 311 guestrooms including 63 suites, with rooms at 350 square feet and suites at 700. The resort completed an all-room renovation, new beachfront patio suites and a reimagined lobby in fall 2023. Children are welcome, and children under 16 stay free. The $60 resort fee covers Wi-Fi, fitness center access, the beach, lawn games and Thursday-to-Saturday Backyard Activities, plus access to sister resort The Reach's amenities.
About This Hotel
Casa Marina is a Key West beach resort first: 311 rooms, two heated oceanfront pools, and a private beach the hotel calls the largest in Key West. Spa al Maré is a priced treatment menu at the resort, with no wet facilities. It is a hotel for the beach, not for a spa circuit.
The Spa, Specifically: Spa Al Maré
Spa al Maré’s menu runs from $110 for a 25-minute massage to $285 for an 80-minute massage before a 20% gratuity. Spa al Maré sells 25-, 50- and 80-minute massages, facials from $210, body packages to $455, and waxing from $30, all listed on its own site. Phone or form is the only way to book. Hours run Monday to Saturday 9 to 5 and Sunday 9 to 3. What is missing matters more: no sauna, steam room, hot tub, cold plunge or relaxation lounge is published, and neither the hotel nor the spa names a treatment-room count or square footage. Therapist names Paula, Jessica and Julie come up again across more than a year, which is the strongest signal the spa has. Beachfront cabanas host oceanside massages for an added $50 a guest. There is no thermal circuit here. The sauna guide shows what guests miss.
Who’s Right, Who’s Wrong
Casa Marina’s $60 resort fee covers the beach and gym but leaves out the spa, which is the trade-off. Right for families and couples who want a large beach, two pools and a massage as an add-on. Wrong for anyone choosing Key West for a full-service spa: there is no wet circuit, no day pass is listed, and treatments add 20%. Book here for the beach.
Where It Sits in the Florida Keys Market
Casa Marina’s 5.6 overall is the second lowest of the fifteen Keys spas reviewed so far. The other fourteen overall hold a 6.5 median, and its 3.8 for Facilities and 6.0 for Wellness sit tenth and eleventh of the fifteen. Spa al Maré’s 4.8 on Google across 265 reviews is the second of the five Keys spa figures published, behind Hyatt Centric. This is a beach resort with a priced massage menu and no published sauna, steam room or thermal circuit.

Is the Casa Marina Spa Worth the Price?
Yes for a Key West beach stay in the low months, typically $400–$610 all-in a night (December, June, July, August, October), when the calendar runs cheapest. No for a spa-first trip: Spa al Maré lists no wet facilities, sits outside the $60 resort fee and adds a 20% gratuity. Beach, pools and a massage are the only spa-adjacent offer.
When to Book the Casa Marina
January through April are the peak months, with February and March dearest. August and October are the cheapest, and December, June and July run low. May and November sit between. Peak nights run about 1.9 times low-season nights, weekends cost about 41% more than midweek in every month, and Christmas-to-New-Year nights run about twice an ordinary night. October and November prices swing day to day. The spa is open Monday to Saturday 9 to 5 and Sunday 9 to 3, at one price all week.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where Is Casa Marina, and How Far Is the Airport?
Casa Marina Key West sits at 1500 Reynolds Street in Key West, Florida. Key West International Airport is 2.7 miles away, and the Overseas Highway drive from Miami runs about 160 miles over 42 bridges, roughly three and a half hours without stops. No airport shuttle is stated by the hotel, so plan a taxi or rideshare.
Can I Use Spa Al Maré Without a Treatment, and Can Non-Guests Book?
The spa publishes no guest, non-guest or day-pass policy, and Spa al Maré sits outside the $60 resort fee. Only resort guests may use the beach, but the spa's access rules are unpublished. No day pass is listed.
What Is the Spa Gratuity, and How Do I Book Treatments?
A 20% gratuity is automatically added to all services. Treatments are booked by phone at (305) 906-0645 or through the spa's contact form. There is no online booking engine.
What Does the $60 Resort Fee Cover, and Does It Include the Spa?
The $60 daily resort fee covers the beach, chair and umbrella attendants, Wi-Fi, fitness center access, lawn games, Thursday-to-Saturday Backyard Activities, and access to sister resort The Reach's amenities. It does not include Spa al Maré.
What Are the Spa’s Hours?
Spa al Maré runs Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
What Facilities Does Spa Al Maré Have, and What Is Missing?
Spa al Maré publishes no sauna, steam room, hot tub, cold plunge or relaxation lounge, and no treatment-room count or spa size. Its wet side is the ocean: beachfront cabanas host oceanside massages for an added $50 per guest.
How Much Do Spa Treatments Cost, and Is There a 60-Minute Massage?
Spa al Maré's cheapest service is a 25-minute massage at $110 before the 20% gratuity. A 50-minute massage runs $200 and an 80-minute massage $285, and the spa sells 25, 50 and 80 minutes but no 60-minute massage. Scaled to an hour, the 50-minute massage works out to $240, which is arithmetic on the menu rate, not a menu price.
Is Casa Marina Adults-Only, and Is It Family-Friendly?
Casa Marina is not adults-only: children are welcome and children under 16 stay free. One of the two oceanfront pools is adults-only, with no minimum age stated, while a family pool runs alongside.

Two heated oceanfront pools run year-round, and the private beach is for guests only. The hotel calls its 1,100-foot private beach the largest in Key West.
How Does Parking Work?
Valet and self-parking both apply a fee, and the hotel does not publish the amounts. There is no free parking.
What Is the Renovation and Opening Status?
Casa Marina completed an all-room renovation, new beachfront patio suites and a reimagined lobby in fall 2023, and is now open with 311 rooms including 63 suites.
What Is the Fitness Center Like, and Are Classes Included?
A 24-hour fitness center with Peloton bikes runs on-site, and access to The Reach's fitness center is included, but no fitness classes are complimentary. Sunrise Yoga on the Event Lawn runs Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 8 a.m. for $30 a person.
