We loved the place. The views. Bbqs. Relaxing area. Staff was great. Loved the relaxing views.

My room matresses were horrible. Very hard. Felt like we were sleeping on a boxspring. Super hard. Went to relax but slept horrible. It was just our room. My families had rooms one and 4 i believe and their matresses were great. Room 11 needs an upgrade on matresses. Also. If we pay the 75$ to ride bike or kayak. I think it should be available at any time. I like to wake up early and ride bikes like at 6 30. But we have to wait for office to open . It was still great we loved it but those things should be all day availale not timed.

Anchor Resort & Marina is definitely the best choice for every family in Islamorada. In the evening, you can enjoy the ocean breeze on a private beach or splash around in the pool watching the stars in one of the famous Florida keys at a very affordable price.

The front desk's 8AM-6PM hours may not be convenient for late check-ins, but the resort has managed to accommodate this. This doesn't prevent this place from being rated as top-notch.

Great location with 2 restaurants within walking distance. Close proximity to fishing locations. Had a beautiful "beach" area outside that exceeded expectations. Free amenities like kayaks, paddle boards, and bicycles were a wonderful addition. Our room had a screened off front porch and a nice secluded back porch area that were both very nice.

There were limited kayaks and paddle boards for rental. Front desk hours were limited.

Excellent location with beautiful views

Had a very enjoyable trip but spoiled a little by a “hidden” additional charge to my credit card which I discovered on arriving home. For a six night stay, I had been charged £182 for (assuredly) the use of paddle boards and kayaks, which we didn’t use, or want. This was not mentioned on their website.

The location was perfect! The room was clean, pool was great and loved that kayaks were available for use!

Had a little issue with my credit card info being copied down wrong from the week before, with us being a late check-in no key was left. A gentleman did call me and walk me through another process to get into our room. So everything worked out great!

Nice location and facilities. A bit of an old 80's vibe, but in a good way. Spacios room. We took a kanoo for some time and it was very nice. Nice and welcoming woman in the reception.

Would have been nice if the hotel had someone specific they work with or recommend for snorkeling or other activities. Also to have some way to heat water for tea or coffee.

I liked the atmosphere.

My family and myself come to the keys quit often and I never understand why the hotels never have a welcome mat to wipe off all the sand from your feet. Unfortunately we could hear the guest that were in the room next to us. Other than that. I would stay here again.

I loved that it was small. I loved that their sign was very visible from the main road. it had everything and more. The staff was excellent! Donna, Julio and I think his name was Jim couldn’t have been more friendly and efficient. I locked myself out and Jim got me taken care of faster than I could have imagined. I loved the hammocks! I never dreamed they would have bikes, kayaks and paddle boards to use for free!! Sadly we didn’t have enough time to enjoy everything!

I wish our room had a bit more of a kitchen.

Loved how it felt like old Florida style motel but very clean and updated. It was located near very good restaurants and snorkeling locations.

It took a very long time for the water to get warm and it never got very warm. Had a sheriff knock on our door at 2qm for a domestic violence call.
