Drop Anchor Resort & Marina

Magical, peaceful, relaxing, accommodating and perfect! Me and my bestie had been planning a Keys trip for 10 years. Set course with my reservations and no plans. Landed at Drop Anchor for 2 days and was blown away. Vintage nostalgic piece of paradise. She and I felt like celebrities! We got in late both night and Daniel the GM answered right away and set us up! I would stay here over and over again!

This is a GREAT “Old Florida Vibe” Hotel with a location and view that cannot be beat! The Manager was excellent and kind. Everything was clean and first rate. Get an oceanfront room with a patio for the best view imaginable. We recommend this Hotel 100%!!!

Exceptional staff! Very happy with our stay at Drop Anchor! We visit Islamorada a couple times a year and will stay here again! Relaxing and memorable getaway. Already planning our return! Clean room and great views. Loved the pool and we were fortunate to see a manatee swim by while catching some rays of sunshine on the last morning.

Overpriced and basic Really over priced. The rooms were tiny and bathroom was even more so. Bed the step out of the door was not very safe. My daughter fell down and twisted both ankles.

On the third night of our 3-night stay and wishing we could stay forever! We splurged on a direct ocean front room and it is worth every penny. This place is by no means fancy but it is old Florida at its finest: cozy, chill, unpretentious. Add in a heated pool and a drip (not pod!!) coffeemaker and all boxes have been checked. As with most of the upper keys there is no true walkout sandy beach but you can use the kayak ramp to get in an ocean swim. Note mucky bottom so mann up or wear swim shoes! Received lovely service from Daniel at front desk and housekeeper could not have been kinder. DROP ANCHOR IS A GEM
