Anchorage Resort

Gilbert's Resort & Marina

"On Balance Gilberts was ok but I would not want to stay more than a couple of days. We where probably not its target customers. The rooms where really nice with a great view but my sister was at the end of the block right by the sewage digester for the resort which made a humming noice which was audible in the room at night, it also smelt really bad in the mornings. Admiralty this could only be smelt outside the room. Suggestion screen the digester and put some filtration for the odour. Plus point they treat the sewage. Thursday night was Ok in the bar although the rock band thought they where playing a stadium, just way too loud, when they stopped and some normality returned the bar shut at 2100, Friday and Saturday, better music but the place was rammed with a lot of kids running around. We would have gone out but the resort is isolated and its almost impossible to get a cab, if you do its very expensive and no guarantee you can get one back. If you have a nominated driver than getting out is an option. Saturday the beach, the bar where just full to bursting, first stop on the Keys out of Miami. A lot of very drunk people having a good time which is fine but if you are not one of them its no fun at all. A visible police presence kept any potential trouble from happening. We where going to go to the pool but there was no room left in the water never mind the side. It is supposed to be for residents and they are supposed to ware a wrist band but that is not enforced, very few in anyone had a wrist band on. In short its not a bad place but don't go if you want a relaxed Keys vibe, stay away from the rooms at the end of the block and only go midweek but only do that if you want to be in bed at 2100. Good points, comfortable rooms, nice views, and very nice staff."

Marina Del Mar Resort and Marina

"Be sure to book a sea view room. The price is not much different, but it is worth it. The room is much bigger. The breakfast is simple and you can eat enough. The swimming pool is beautiful and you can go to the hot tub in the hotel next door."

Amoray Dive Resort

"Staff was outstanding and the rooms are very nice. The dive staff with Captain Gio and Maxx made the snorkeling tours awesome"

Drift Hotel

"Small, friendly hotel, pleasant setting. Very nice access to the water with kayak loan…. Free parking. The rooms are clean with basic equipment (coffee machine, fridge, chair and table). THE Staff is pleasant. You have to be transported. Some restaurants nearby (more or less by car). If you are looking for a place for breakfast, don’t hesitate to go to Harriette’s, a 10-minute walk away."
