Total disaster. They should. It be permitted to rent rooms out right now. Everything is under contraction and roped off. Bikes and boats are easily 40 years old. Construction workers everywhere . Couldn’t leave your room if you wanted to. Can’t sit anywhere . Do not go here
I stayed in the garden area Twilight suite. My traveling companion stayed in the Manatee, one of the waterfront rooms. Both were sparkling clean, supplied with drinks, snacks, wonderful toiletries, great bedding. My views were of lush vegetation; his were waterfront and--again--lush vegetation Both lovely. Parking is convenient and safe at both areas. We keep the car at my suite. Casa Morada is not the typical 5 star hotel. It is a quiet, traditional retreat in a setting that is wonderful old tropical Florida. As an 82 yr old native Floridian lady, this was the main draw for me. The landscape is beautifully designed with plenty of walking areas for me and my tiny dog, native Florida trees and plants, seating areas for scenic pauses, leading to a well-designed waterfront. Rejuvenation! Guests can bring their boats and moor them at the plentiful docking spots directly on the property; and many did. The waterfront rooms open directly to a boardwalk over the water to a small island pagoda. Gorgeous for morning, daytime and evening relaxing. Staff are all lovely and helpful. Special shout out to receptionist and General Factotum, Sam. She was at my friend's room in 2 minutes when he had a glitch with his TV one night. Guests check in at the Sunset Inn, directly on the highway. Casa Morada is behind it, off the road. The Inn and Casa Morada are all the same property. Mangrove Mike's is a wonderful restaurant in the same strip as the Sunset Inn office. Frequented by locals and travelers alike, a variety of foods, great wait staff. Enjoyed the hogfish sandwich and the key lime pie. All breads and desserts baked onsite. Also dined at the Island Grill a tad north of Casa Morada on the ocean side. Crunchy yellow snapper, strip steak, chicken wings are all special! We loved our stay at Casa Morada and didn't want to leave. My friend said he wants to live there. We. plan to return in November.
Spacious, modern room with nice veranda and outdoor shower
N/A
My wife and I have stayed at Casa Morada in Islamorada more than 25 times since we were married there in 2004. For us, it has never been just another resort in the Florida Keys. It has been part of our family story.
In 2021, when my youngest daughter was married in Islamorada, we booked the entire Casa Morada property for our wedding guests over the Fourth of July weekend. It felt like coming full circle — returning to a place that had meant so much to us and sharing it with the next generation.
Casa Morada was always special. Started in the early 2000s by three women who had once worked for Ian Schrager, the resort had a minimalist mystique that made it stand apart. It was intimate, elegant, and quietly beautiful. White flowing curtains, orchids in each room, champagne at check-in, a complimentary bottle of wine waiting in the room, and small snacks made the experience feel gracious and personal.
The 16-room property had a charm that larger resorts could never duplicate. The landscaping, designed by Raymond Jungles, was part of the magic — native foliage, manicured pathways, fountain features, and a gradual unfolding of the property toward the water. A small bridge led to the island, where there was a pool and a sunset bar serving snacks, food, beer, wine, and sake beverages. It felt private, romantic, and unmistakably Islamorada.
But 25 stays later, the place has changed.
I understand that resorts evolve and that renovations are sometimes necessary. But what saddened me most during our recent stay was not simply that things were changing. It was that the attention to detail — any detail — seemed to have disappeared.
The orchids are gone. The welcoming champagne is gone. Check-in now takes place across U.S. 1 at a motel owned by the same company, rather than in the old on-site office with its wooden desk, friendly stray cats — “it’s a Keys thing” — and the warm feeling of being welcomed back.
The rooms still carry their charming names — Hideaway, Sea Turtle, Wild Flower, and others — but the charm behind those names seems to have faded. Our room furnishings were old, chipped, and tired. I asked for two room keys and was told I could only have one. I asked for ice to set up a small bar in the room and had to go to a convenience store to buy it.
The exterior spaces were equally disappointing. The once-pristine pathways were ungroomed. A water feature sat dry with exposed pipes. Potted plants were dying or full of weeds. On the island, there were only four lounge chairs and no umbrellas for a 16-room resort. There were no pool towels available, and we were given two old, threadbare towels to use during our stay. The sunset bar, once a highlight, was closed and unmanned the entire time.
All of this was at $550 per night, plus taxes.
I write this with sadness, not anger. Casa Morada meant something to us. I hope the current owners understand what they have inherited and find a way to restore the beauty, hospitality, and attention to detail that once made it so special.
I guess nothing lasts forever — but I truly hope Casa Morada finds its way back.
Goede locatie en ruime kamers
We werden vooraf wel verwittigd werden dat er “kleine werkzaamheden” zouden gebeuren tijdens ons verblijf. Ik had echter gevraagd of deze onze rust zouden beïnvloeden tijdens ons verblijf en er werd ons verzekerd dat dit niet het geval zou zijn. Echter werd er zowel op de begane grond onder onze kamer als aan het zwembad overdag zeer luidruchtige werken uitgevoerd waardoor een stroomgenerator en voortdurend lawaai van een zaagmachine aan het zwembad ervoor zorgde dat we zelfs hoofdpijn hadden na een uurtje. Daarnaast was onze hottub op de kamer niet bruikbaar omdat er enkel warm water uit de kraan kwam. We deden ons beklag bij de receptie waar de dame ons beloofde onmiddellijk een hersteller te zullen sturen om dit laatste te herstellen maar we hebben nooit iemand gezien. Daarnaast zou ze ons de volgende dag bij het uitchecken de korting meedelen die we zouden ontvangen voor de geluidsoverlast. Maar toen we de volgende morgen om 10u30 wilden uitchecken aan de balie bleek de mevrouw die daar aanwezig was niet bevoegd te zijn. Ik eiste een verantwoordelijke om de checkout naar behoren te doen maar kreeg te horen dat er die voormiddag niemand meer zou kunnen komen hiervoor terwijl de check out ten laatste om 11u00 diende te gebeuren. Er werd dan telefonisch beloofd dat we 25% korting zouden genieten en geen taxes op het verblijf. Echter onze creditcard werd voor een mij onduidelijk bedrag gedebiteerd en ondanks mijn verzoek om de afrekening via mail te bezorgen werd dit nooit gedaan. Ook een vraag via de berichten op booking.com werd nooit beantwoord. Bovendien werd eerdere communicatie over het probleem met de geluidsoverlast op dit platform om een of andere vreemde reden volledig verwijderd.
I highly would recommend staying at the lovely, serene, and perfectly located, Casa Morada. Our room, 'The Sun Room' was spacious with large picture windows that added to the feel of this space which evoked a true island feel.
The staff could not have been more accommodating and even though there was construction to the docks going on during the day, we were still able to enjoy the pool and relaxing on a chaise under a covered canopy. The lush tropical landscape added to the calming outdoor ambience, which includes various spaces to sit and take in the grounds.
Casa Moroda is a unique and special place I would definitely recommend!
Location and pool area
Unexpected building works around the pool with only a few days notice of these works in addition to the closed pool bar
The room (Manitee Suite) was very nice. Pool was clean and the views are amazing. Bed was comfortable and staff kept us in fresh linens. Would not recommend for handicapped folks as the path to get into the room was uneven gravel and access to the pool and lounging area was via stairs. Decent continental breakfast and fisherman to go breakfast was HUGE.
Biggest problem was that the kept moving the reception area. We didn't know it moved across the Street to Sunset Motel while we were there.

Great Little property - Loved the rooms with sitting room and porch - liked that it was a smaller hotel felt like we were all by ourselves ! bartender made the most out of a inconvenient situation.
no bar service while we were there ( waiting on paperwork ) but the bartender made the most of it.
Beautiful designed place. Sits directly on the shore.
Very spacious rooms or rather suites. Own terrace with sunbeds. Beautiful garden. Sunset at the pool. Pilates, Yoga classes. Breakfast on the terrace. Very friendly and helpful staff.
It was a shame that they did not have a liquor license, so no wine or cocktail for sunset at the bar.
We loved everything about our stay at Casa Morada. It was the best place to relax and recharge. The resort is beautiful!
