Casa Morada

Casa morada = relaxation. This place is literally a physical and mental escape where you can set your mind and body at ease surrounded by subtle luxury. Nothing about this place screams out 5 stars but once you check in in an elegant little room with a glass of champagne and look out at the tree lined pathways that end at glassy bayfront water, you just take a deep breath and exhale with contentment. The grounds are peaceful with zen like touches, a private waterfall, a grassy hilltop, peace all around and a pool and bar on a private island with water all around.
The rooms are quiet, beachy, comfy and lovely. Not overdone but comfy with luxe touches. I prefer staying in the water front building where you can awake to a shining bay and palm trees.
Breakfast is simple, fresh, delicious and complimentary. You can grab a bike, kayak, or paddleboard anytime and head out for some exercise. Or… You can cross a little bridge, grab a mango sake cocktail and find a luxurious lounge or hammock by the pool. The sunset sail is a must, especially if Dolphins decide to follow you around as they did with us.
The staff is wonderful, they are so nice I didn’t want to leave. They will take care of any request. And for dog lovers, this place is luxury for you and your fur baby.
It is simple, peaceful, zen like luxury and only 1.5 hours from Miami. We can’t wait to come back very soon!

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.

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

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.
