Not worth it

Not what I expected. Expensive for a run-down motel pretending to be a three-star hotel with “resort” amenities. Everything felt like it was done with minimal effort. Staff was helpful enough but definitely, again, with minimal effort. Do not recommend.

Very clean, friendly resort. Very personal attention. The room was terrific. Loved that we had an ocean view balcony and a kitchen and the beds were very comfortable. The staff was SO friendly and helpful. Did not like that bikes had to be returned by 5pm Apparently a drunk guest from some time ago got into an accident on bicycle. We did not have a car and that limited our early evening access to free and easy transport to dinner. Also... though it has a marina for boaters, the resort has no beach. It does have a great pool and free kayaks which we made great use of, but we came to the Keys for the beach and the clear water. We had to take a two mile bike ride (which was nice exercise) to a small local beach and a 45 minute Uber (expensive!) to a really large beach.

Perfect boutique style hotel

This hotel is a real gem. Location is ideal, right on the water with a pool and very comfortable spots to take in the breathtaking views of the ocean. You truly feel like you are off the grid at this very tranquil spot. The staff is extremely kind, and they even let you borrow kayaks to explore.

I have stayed at drop anchor inn several times and will keep going back. It’s so typical of what the Florida Keys has to offer. I just love it there. I live in Fort Lauderdale and going down to the Keyes is the perfect getaway. I highly recommend drop anchor Inn.

FABIO, NORTH MIAMI

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Our big problem was the room. It was small, the bed was too high, very uncomfortable, there was no ventilation or fan in the bathroom, completely overpriced. The bed is exposed in a way that I hate myself twice with it in the leg that I had to protect it with a towel, not to hate it during the night.

Beautiful view, spacious, clean rooms. Only stayed 2 nights as we were visiting family so we did not use the pool or resort activities offered but we will definitely be adding this property to our list for future stays!

The location was beautiful, rooms should be updated. My biggest complaint is a paid for two rooms, same price for both, but one was very much smaller than the other and no balcony in that same room either ?!?!
