    Nice long weekend visit
    Excellent location. Staff check in was friendly. Brought our 16 foot flats boat. Ramp was a little small and tricky, but we figured it out. Tied up for the weekend at the dock right in front of hotel. Perfect! Pool area and beach are beautiful, nice chairs and tiki huts. Had an ocean view king room on 2nd floor with a balcony. Nice room, great view. Bed was comfortable, housekeeping was efficient. Only drawback- and its a big one- there was not a comfortable place to sit in the room. The sofa was a futon, way to deep to sit on correctly. The chairs on the balcony were also too deep- uncomfortable unless you are an MBA player. But, rooms and grounds are very clean. And the views are the best in the keys. Would come back and book a 1st floor room. …

    Incredible place with even better staff.
    I felt as if it was a home away from home immediately. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. The location is right around all the great spots to visit for the area. The hotel grounds are immaculate. What else can I say? You have to stay here! I will definitely be making a trip back and staying at this location, everything was just perfect.…

    Better than any commercial hotel you’re considering!
    We booked two nights here and they gladly helped extend our stay another night; staff went above and beyond. The rooms were visibly clean, smelled clean, and were very comfortable. Plenty of hammocks, kayaks, paddle boards, and a beautiful pool to relax in; not to mention the view right on the water! This place blew any large tourist hotel away, whether you’re on a couples vacation or a family vacation! WOULD COME AGAIN!!!!…

    Never Disappointed Here...
    This was my first trip back down in five or so years. I saw that it was under new ownership and was curious to see if anything had changed much here. Met some friends down there to check off a bucket list item...to run the Keys on my Harley, They were more than accomodating to us with bikes, truck and trailer. Room was awesome. Grounds and pool area was immaculate. I've stayed a a few other places in the past when Drop Anchor had been booked up but always felt others were overrated for the money. Yes buildings are older than some down there but have never been disappointed in our rooms. Zac and staff definately made us feel like they really appreciated us being there. You certainly dont get that feeling a lot of places especially if you are connected with motorcycles. I'll certainly be back again the next chance I can.…
