Overall I am very happy with our experience at the Drop Anchor Inn in Islamorada. I booked through hotels.com which created some confusion checking in; the front desk advised to call next time as they may have a better rate. The people at the hotel were very nice – provided us coupons for a local restaurant and were very friendly.... More

I went down Mother's Day weekend with my family and was pleasantly surprised. We rented three rooms for the weekend, #2, #3, and #8, all with an ocean view. 2 & 3 were on the first floor which was great. We were able to BBQ with the family, while the kids played in the sand. I stayed in room #8,... More

Stayed here in April for just one night and wish it had been longer. We are a family of 5 and stayed in unit 14. The exterior of the resort is awesome 60's decor painted in fun retro colors. The inside of our unit was a cool beachy, eclectic mix - something I love - can't stand the cookie cutter... More

We stayed 5 nights in May 2013 and can't wait to go back. The staff was great, the resort was great. We made several new friends. It is in a great location, close enough to everything but not crowded!!

Hotel confuses romantic with run down. The room is clean and you have a bed. That is sufficient for a night. Unless you need internet access. The download speeds are extremely low, good for emails, but they better not have an attachment and no video possible at all. They could change it but have no interest in doing so.

We are a small quiet resort, and to many it is our proven track record of why we have so many repeat guests .We have many compliments about our rooms and furnishings. Our WiFi is not perfect all the time, Weather , Wind Etc. but we do try to accommodate always. More
