"Casa Marina is located on the southern edge of the island and has its own private beach—something few Key West hotels can claim. It also enjoys a rich history, hosting a roster of celebrities and politicians in its nearly 100 years. At one time it was used by the U.S. Navy and was used as the U.S. Army’s Sixth Missile Battalion during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Breakfast is a big deal here, and you can indulge in the Grand Buffet at Flagler’s Ballroom, but don’t worry if a decadent morning meal is not your jam—there’s a grab and go spot, too. Sun Sun Beach Bar & Grill is open for lunch and dinner, and HMF Sidecar is good for watching the game with a beer. The spa offers indoor and outdoor spaces and features the standard massage and facial treatments, but for something a bit more unusual, custom blend an aromatherapy oil to take home with you." - Nancy DePalma , Terry Ward, Laura Ratliff
