We visited Drop Anchor based on the review in Fodor's South Florida 2012. Management was extremely nice and welcoming. The room was spotless and the bed extremely comfortable!! The view was wonderful and the overall vibe was laid back and relaxed. The downside, there is no beach of which to speak of, we don't recommend it for families with small... More

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. Otherwise we would stay here every... More

Only stayed one night but wish it was longer. We were pleasantly surprised with our room. It was very roomy and nicely decorated in a nautical style. Some might say it could use some updating but I feel it would detract from its charm. Our room #7 was upstairs and closest to the water with a great balcony. Family of... More

We stayed at the Drop Anchor in October. We booked online and were stoked about the virtual tour we saw online. The view is beautiful but certainly depends on which room you are staying in. Our balcony was just a couple feet away from the trailers parked next door. Once you get past the trailers in the forefront you will... 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
