Best Resort in the Caribbean!
By: Mary Shaver from Columbus, OH
Date of Visit: October 2004
My husband Tim and I just celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary at Anthony's Key Resort (AKR). This was a 'last minute' planned vacation since our first choice (Grand Cayman) got cancelled due to the devastation by Hurricane Ivan. Well as the old saying goes 'everything happens for a reason and it usually turns our for the best.' AKR turned out to be a FABULOUS resort!! We reserved a low season snorkel package with key superior room (Room 38, right next to the off shore diving) where the view of the ocean was breath taking! Our room was spacious (contained two king size beds) and well maintained. Our housekeeper kept our place immaculate every day and ensured our room was stocked with plenty of towels and toiletries. Our package included two snorkel trips daily by boat with an experienced guide which allowed us to view some of the most spectacular marine life in the West Caribbean. The best part of our trip was the swim with 16 bottlenose dolphins which turned out to be an AWESOME experience!! Our meals were deliciously prepared and the service was outstanding. If you are looking for resort designed by nature where tranquility and adventure await you, we highly recommend AKR as your next vacation destination!
NOTE: Beware of the bad review written by a New Yorker. It is SO FAR off that it really needs to be deleted from these reviews!!

An awesom adventure destination
By: David Prinn from Edmonton, Canada
Date of Visit: February 2003
My wife and I just returned (Feb 24 2004) from a trip to Roatan where we stayed at AKR. Having read a couple of reviews, one of which was VERY negative we were somewhat apprehensive.
What a waste of energy that was. We were greeted at the airport on Roatan with smiles and welcoming hug. The staff was some of the best I have ever encountered. The food was delicious and elegant in an understated way and included conch chowder, coconut glazed grouper, calimari and the tenderest beef and pork I have enjoyed in some time. My only complaint was a bit too much salt (which I rarely use)
The accomodation was simple. Period. We stayed in the basic 20 x 20 hill standard room and will do so again if for no other reason than convenience (100 feet to the bar and dining room - no boat necessary). Our room had a small bathroom and a reasonable sleeping/living area that accomodated four during the inclemant day we had. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Central America where the building material of choice is raw mahogany. If you are looking for airconditioned rooms with cable TV, saunas, and room service: dont go to Roatan. The only problem encountered was one light that did not function and this was repaired the following day.
The diving and snorkelling were outstanding as was the entire dive operation.
Bring an extra hundred US$ for tips at the end of your stay. This is how people make their money and if you plan on returning you would not want to leave anybody out.
Car rentals in Roatan require a $1,000.00 deposit which they put on your card along with the rental then return when you bring the car back.
There are biting insects on Roatan (Central America again) so bring and wear bug juice with Deet at all times and stay away from the Mangrove swamps.
The beaches are not what you would expect if you had just come from Cancun. In Westend the beach is the main road once you get out of 'town'. Sunbathing is best done on your deck

Anthony's Key Is No
By: Anonymous from New York
Date of Visit: July 2003
I returned to the States on Friday, July 4th, four days earlier than scheduled. After four wonderful days at Pico Bonito I arrived at Anthony’s Key Resort to find a dilapidated and decaying property run by a staff that was unfriendly with a significant amount of attitude.
The room was filthy with dead bugs all over the floor. The sheets and towels were threadbare with a multitude of various stains with unimaginable origins. The bedspread was also stained and pilled; all of these linens had to have been from the original days of the “resort”.
The screens in the room were old, corroded and did not fit against the windows allowing one inch gaps or more. Obviously, there were not many barriers allowing a variety of flying insects to bite me all night.
The bathroom area was quite unpleasant. The shower stall was so stained, I could not tell what the original color may have been. All of the hardware was corroded. When I opened the bathmat, a dozen plus dead bugs fell out of the center. After the sun set and I turned the light on in the bathroom, hundreds of ants scattered.
The food was inedible. When I arrived they were serving lunch which was steam tables of slop served on a single paper plate so thin it was hard to hold the plate without two hands. Dinner is not worth mentioning.
I had arrived with the expectation of joining the two day dolphin institute only to be informed that it was only offered on Thursday & Friday. Having arrived on Thursday I had already missed one day and planning to leave on Tuesday made it impossible to participate and enjoy what I had come for.
As you can understand I was quite disappointed and could not possibly envision myself staying in this environment for any length of time and decided to depart the next morning for San Pedro Sula and subsequently New York. My other option would have been to find another hotel however, having already spent a significant amount for this portion of the trip I could not envision any additional expenditure.
