Our stay at Drop Anchor was truly delightful! The views from our room were breathtaking, and the access to the beach made our vacation feel even more special. The recreational options available, like the kayaks and paddleboards, were a fantastic addition to our experience. If I had to mention any downsides, it would be that the surrounding area requires a bit of driving to reach popular attractions, but that didn't take away from our enjoyment at the resort.

This resort provides a delightful taste of the Keys, featuring immaculately landscaped grounds and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The ocean view from my room was breathtaking, and the modern decor perfectly complemented the nostalgic vibe. However, the pool's temperature left much to be desired, making it less enjoyable than it could be. Overall, it's a charming place that just needs a little adjustment to become even better.

The pool area was beautifully maintained, but unfortunately, the water was a bit too chilly for my liking. Warmer water would definitely enhance the experience.

My stay at this resort was a mixed bag. The location by the beach offered beautiful views, and I truly loved the quaint, charming atmosphere that felt like the real Florida Keys. However, the condition of my assigned room left much to be desired, and the surprise amenity fee was a bit of a letdown. Overall, while I appreciated certain aspects of my stay, it didn't quite meet my expectations given the price.
Rooms

Our stay at the resort was quite mixed. The beautiful grounds featuring expansive beach access and a scenic environment made for a lovely experience. However, the room we got fell short of expectations, with issues regarding cleanliness and comfort. While the staff was welcoming, it lacked some amenities we were hoping for. Overall, it has its charms, but improvements are definitely needed to match the price tag.
