My husband and I found the Drop Anchor by simply driving by. The hotel we had booked for our trip in May 2011 was forced to cancel our first night due to a wedding so we decided to wait until we got to Islamorada to find somewhere to stay. I wanted to stay somewhere that the decor epitomized the Keys... More

There's nothing really wrong with the Drop Anchor Resort. Then again, considering the cost, there's nothing really wonderful about it either. Although situated on the ocean side of Islamorada, it is located next to the marina, so the ocean's bottom is "yucky" (the hotel's words) and infested with sea lice. You are advised not to swim in it, so all... More

We love that each of the rooms are individually decorated in a tasteful eclectic style. The rates are very reasonable. I love the lower level king room in the back right on the beach...it's perfect to hang out on your own private patio and grill out. My only complaint is they don't allow pets.

even though i was only able to stay five nights, i was treated like i owned the place. staff and management were very polite and effecient. the owner was very involved in the daily operation of the resort. More

Beautifully styled room with a full kitchen and balcony. More than we wanted to spend but fell in love with room when we were shown it. There was no light on the balcony though! We wanted to sit outside while youngest child got to sleep early. Loved the pool which was beautifully clean, and lovely views over the ocean. Who... More

This place was phenomenal! A memorable weekend getaway. Our room (#15) was one of the less expensive and smaller options at the motel, but the Drop Anchor website pictures were right on the money. Our room looked just like it did in the pictures. It was a romantic little space with the bare essentials for a beach vacation. The property...the... More
