Hands down, the best place we have stayed in the Keys. The staff is charming and constantly anticipating your needs. We stayed in the sun suite which had a great water view. The pool area has lots of hammocks and lounges and feels like a private island as it is rarely crowded. They offer complimentary kayaks, paddle boards, movies, snorkel, breakfast, yoga, water in the rooms. You don't feel like you're being nickel and dimed. Drinks at the bar are excellent during sunset. They serve lunch but not dinner, but the hotel is within walking distance from lots of great choices including Chef Michael, Lorelei, Pierre's, Ma's Fish Camp. Sunset sail is romantic and fun with a great captain. Can't wait to return to this slice of paradise! read more

BEAUTIFUL!!!! you feel like you are in Paradise, clean spacious rooms, they allow pets, the gardens are gorgeous, perfect place to get married or have a family reunion. Love this place!!! The price varies on the time of the year... read more

This place is not worth it. I mean, they do have a few nice touches like high quality bath products and complimentary bikes. But, they are charging rates that our way out of line with the run down facility and the surly staff. They seem to be on the look out for opportunities to justify an up-charge. And in some cases, these are just made up. If you need to stay in this area, just opt for one of the trust-worthy local spots and you will be satisfied without feeling ripped off. read more

It's definelty the most peaceful place in the Keys, great staff, super pet friendly. They don't have a full restaurant, but the available food options are great. Kayak, paddle boards and yoga classes are a plus. Relax and enjoy your stay !! read more

We spent a long weekend here for our 30th anniversary! We stayed in Shangi-la suite and it was absolutely gorgeous! Loved enjoying a glass of wine at sunset every night and the beautiful breeze every morning. We walked to all the restaurants at night including Pierre's and Chef Michaels. Took the bikes out during the day and made a day trip to Old Key West! Simply fabulous spot for a romantic weekend. read more

Casa Morada - Resorts Near Me - Islamorada, Florida

We love this place. It is truly a small piece of heaven on earth. The breakfast bar is tasty. The rooms are incredibly clean! The property is well manicured. We will definitely be staying here again. read more

This is a fabulous little property! I stayed here on my honeymoon in August and it was perfect. The place is very quiet and romantic. We couldn't believe how secluded we felt on the property. I loved the "no kids under 16" policy. We were upgraded to the Iguana Room (in the Sea View House) for the first 2 nights of our stay, and were then moved into the Hideaway Suite (in the Garden View House). Both rooms were lovely, but the Iguana room had a better layout and a nicer shower. I wanted to use the outdoor shower that was part of the Hideaway Suite, but the only thing hiding me from the path was a potted plant. I was also afraid of getting eaten alive by mosquitos out there. A citronella candle might have helped. The complimentary water, snacks, bikes, kayaks, and drink upon arrival really make this place stand out. The only suggestion I have would be to do a little more landscaping. Overall, this place is cozy, quiet, and romantic and I can't wait to return! read more

Five star prices with two star amenities and one star service. This place would be fine if it was a third of the price. read more

Love love love this place! My husband and I spent our first wedding anniversary here and it was absolutely perfect. So peaceful and calm. Everyone that works here goes over and beyond to make your trip a memorable one. My only complaint is that they don't have a full liquor license, only wine, sake & beer is served. Besides that this was a 10! We stayed in the jungle room and I highly recommend it, HUGE outdoor patio balcony. We look forward to returning many times! read more

This place is an absolute gem! The Beautiful campus, beautiful water views, and the friendly staff will keep me coming back annually. Nice, quiet, and convenient to local restaurants. They have paddle boards, kayaks, snorkel equipment, and bike all free to use whenever you want. They have great cocktail hour each night during sunset - amazing. Not a place for kids, adults only. read more

Casa Morada - Pool shot from the bar - Resorts Near Me - Islamorada, Florida

You can tell this little slice of heaven has some age to it but the staff do a fantastic job of keeping it up to date and fresh. The decor is lively and fun and all of the amenities are fully taken in to account - in- room yoga mats, free kayak and SUP rentals, power boat and sailing trips, and shared bikes to take when you don't feel like driving to the local breweries. Be sure to meet Vince, the bartender at the pool, he has tons of local suggestions and tips to make your visit exceptional. read more

My husband and I only stayed overnight but we fell in love with this hotel. It is so relaxing! Because it is a small boutique hotel there are not a lot of people there. We wend biking, paddle boarding and swimming in the pool. There are hammocks all over to watch the amazing sunset! We would definitely come back but stay longer this time! If you're looking for a relaxing, low key getaway that is off the beaten path, this is it! read more

Truly a slice of heaven. Peaceful, private and well serviced suites on the bayside. Has small island with bar and pool. Hammocks for star gazing too. Teri at reception a cheerful host and ever ready to assist. We'll be back. read more

This place is the definition of relaxation and disconnect. Let's start with the staff, they made everything smooth sailing. From the minute we walked on property, until we left. After checkout was the only time we were sad bc it was time to leave paradise. They have complimentary use of their paddle boards, kayaks and bikes. Being on the bay side it makes it perfect to do some paddling. The pool was cleaned every morning and the property and rooms are kept immaculate. You get to see the best sunsets on property, so do dinner reservations after sunset. You are very close to amazing restaurants for dinner and lunch. Food on the property is limited but very yummy. One day we chose to not leave at all and we were fished out and had pizza which it was to die for lol. The breakfast hit the spot. Complimentary croissants, fruits, coffee, bagels etc and then some things a la cart. We stayed for breakfast. Beautiful relaxing outdoor breakfast area. Try to stay 3 nights. We did 2 and extended one more night and that made a world of difference! Complimentary yoga as well! They have mats . The rooms are equipped with the essentials and the beds and pillows are veryyyyy comfortable and smell so good . I can't write anything bad. I'm already planning our return! read more

There are so many great things to say about this hotel, but it was not worth $675 for two nights. Beautiful grounds, pool, etc., but the rooms in the garden suite seemed more like dorm rooms or like we were staying in an old hospital. If they were to lower their prices, I would give five stars. read more

We've stayed at Casa Morada three times and each time in a different room (Sun, Jungles and Hideaway). The boutique hotel is quaint, charming and all the rooms are special and have a unique quality. We love this hidden gem and try to get back at least once a year. It's very relaxing and easy to have a lazy day, but yoga, bikes, kayaks, paddle boards and snorkel gear are all included. We've loved all our stays! read more

Wow, what a find. Private resort was amazing. Pool area with bar and ocean view lounge, paddle boards, kayaks, snorkeling equipment. Good drinks and friendly service. Heaven. read more

This place is a little pricey but worth it. Although only 16 rooms (I think), you have the feeling of space created by lush landscape and neatly raked pathways between the two buildings, and then down to the water. There is a bridge going over to "the island", where they have a nice (but unheated) pool, comfortable teak lounges, and plenty of space in the sun or out. Very nice bar cabana out there serving drinks and food you can charge to your room. Every staff person we encountered was super friendly and helpful. We had just started to play some bocce ball, and a grounds guy came over and offered to rake out the sand pit for us if we didn't mind waiting a few minutes. Bikes, kayaks and paddle boards are available at no charge. Breakfast was the typical continental style, but at least it is from 7:00 to 11:00, so you have plenty of time to drag yourself up there to the lovely open-air lounge; there is never a feeling of being rushed, and they really seem to value customer service. Plenty of little separate areas to sit and read, visit or whatever. The hammock right at the end of the dock is awesome! The room we had was in the garden building--no water view-- but was spacious, clean, and had a separate living area and outside screened balcony that was really private. We really loved the place. Being able to walk down the street to Lorelei bar and restaurant was a plus. Wonderful for sunsets. read more

What a great little place. No more than 13 rooms, all updated and nice, great views and pool. Wonderful staff that was always willing to help. read more

Absolutely lovely! The staff was very friendly and helpful, the pool area wonderfully relaxing and the rooms were quiet and clean. We took advantage of their paddle boards and bikes- for free. Also enjoyed coffee and breakfast on their deck every morning. The grounds are well kept and very pretty. You can't beat the beautiful sunsets. I will definitely come back. read more

Casa Morada was a wonderful escape for my wife and me. We had two wonderful days in this beautiful place. The rooms are spotless and nicely adorned - very clean. One could not have asked for a more relaxing time. The staff was extremely courteous and attentive to our needs. Valerie, Susan, Sarah, and Jennifer really took good care of us. The Jungle Room was fabulous with separate sitting room and private balcony. We used the bikes and kayaks and enjoyed seeing the dolphins and manatee. We will recommend this to all of our friends and WILL certainly be back. read more

Beautiful hotel in Islamorada. The pool is very quite, the rooms are very clean and all have a nice amenity. I like the room with the hot tub on the balcony. read more

Really, the only place for adults to stay in Islamorada, for a Keys experience without having to drive that much further south. Very nice, clean, modern, yet retaining a Keys feeling, this place is special for me and my wife. read more

This is my idea of a perfect vacation spot. We were looking for beauty, relaxation and helpful information about restaurants, and local sightseeing. Check, check and check. Stephanie, the hotel manager, is amazing,and her staff follow her lead. They can provide you with any information you would like about the area, great restaurant ideas, local Eco boat tours, and water sports equipment. Breakfast is served from 7am to 11am. Now that's the way to run a relaxing resort! Everywhere you look is beautiful. We will be back as often as possible. Trudy and Marshall read more

Very relaxing experience. The service was outstanding and the gardens were beautiful.

My husband and I have stayed here twice, most recently last weekend. I prefer Casa Morada over the Moorings, hands down. I believe that this property oringinally a fishing camp, so all of the rooms are suites. Casa Morada has its own private island with a beach and cute little pool. There is a private lagoon to swin in and an old boat house has been converted to a bar. The complaint about a poor drink selection is based on the fact that the property's liquor license is for beer and wine only; no hard liquor. But they offer some really interesting cocktails based on that. The property is just beautiful, and the rooms are big and comfortable with every amenity imaginable. They even have game boards set up in the boathouse, if you are in the mood for a game of chess by the ocean. The staff is friendly and helpful. When we arrived, there was a handwritten card in our room welcoming us back. And they'll arrange for boat tours, kayak tours, sunset cruises, dinner reservations, massages, yoga sessions, you get the idea. There is a free yoga class, although I don't remember when or how often. I would never stay anywhere else in Islamorada. But you want what I call "the resort experience," read here; big, sterile, impersonal, Casa Morada is not your place. read more

A true hidden treasure. A last minute decision lead us to Casa Morada to celebrate my husbands birthday and take in the full moon party. Often there are limited options in the keys as we had our pups with us this trip since our usual dog sitter was not available. Not an issue at Casa Morada. Offered dog bowls and beds when we made our reservation, and had dog bags and cookies waiting for them as well as wine for us. I can't say enough about the attentiveness of staff from the moment we signed in throughout our stay. As noted by several reviews, look to see what is in your welcome pack in the room, several free amenities that we never took advantage. It is an older facility but well cared, with excellent care taking of grounds, quirky , yet simplistic and elegant in its own way.... nothing but Zen... We were so impressed and found such a sense of tranquility here that we stayed an extra night. All in all, cant wait to go back. read more

We discovered this place from a friend who had stayed. Check in great, feels like they get to know you, rather then feeling like a number. Property was shown and explained. Had a instant feel of keys comfort when we checked in, room was clean,sleek and modern for a keys property. Had a great 3 days! Have sent my wife for a Mother's Day gift, happy wife happy life!!!! Will return as soon as I am able. Liked it better than cheeca and islander bayside, which are both nice. But a little quieter with a age limit for kids.(16) morning breakfast,yoga, a little bike ride, what a great place. read more

Wonderful relaxed and comfortable low key setting - the perfect getaway.

We chose Casa Morada after hours of research for our honeymoon destination. We chose well have to admit! Having finally found US1 after leaving Miami International in the dark, our arrival at Casa Morada was around 11pm and having been on the go for over 20 hours our hosts welcome was a mix of relief and excitement which was very nice. Our room was upstairs (twilight) and was very clean nicely decorated. (I should point put out that I am very critical of hotels when I'm paying!) We unfortunately arrived in the Keys at the start of a full week of torrential rain. It was a wash out and a disappointment, however, this is no reflection the hotel. Breakfast was simple, clean cutlery, hot coffee, a selection of breads, cereals, juice and teas. The staff were friendly and very attentive. It's a small, quiet hotel, very personal and a complete reversal from the ugly US1 that carves its way down to Key West. The route, once you leave the main land, is a construction site for over 100 miles. If you're into fishing and sub Aqua then this is your place without doubt, and if the weather had been better I'm surest would have grasped the experience with both hands. Would I return to the Keys? The answer is no, however, move Casa Morada somewhere else that's ocean side and and off the Keys, I'll book tomorrow. read more

This place is a little gem. If you want private, quiet solitude, service, relaxing.. As stated no beach access (but beaches or anything like a beach in the Keys are pretty rare ) bay side is calm for kayaking, paddle boarding. You can arrange snorkeling and sunset cruises or massages etc. right here. The beauty of this place is in it's charm and attention to the littlest of details and the very fact that it's not cookie cutter I like that personally. I don't want a condo smondo looking type of place.. read more

A little piece of paradise just far enough away from civilization to fully relax, yet close enough to satisfy any touristy cravings. You won't believe you're still just in Florida!! Cannot recommend Casa Morada enough! read more
