Divers' paradise but need new leader for Diving center
It's a divers' paradise. But I went there for snorkeling. The bad weather was a big part of my not so good experience. The Monday Maya Key snorkeling was the best. Tuesday morning it was pouring rain before 8.30, I should take it as a warning sign from God. But the diving centre told me they would go to the other side which would be a lot calmer. There was nothing but calm. We had first 40 minutes sun then all went down to hell. The visibility was low during pouring rain, water was cold, very wavy, I felt sick n returned to the boat earlier. The captain saw me sick liked a dog. And they still went to second spot under pouring rain, big wave. The boat was rocking left n right. I had to hold on to my chair... The guide refused to go to water n the captain had to take the group down. Some of them couldn't come up to the boat because it was rocking left and right. I was suffered from motion sickness for 3 days after that. To the diving center, $35 is more important than a guest health... Everyone worked very hard to build a reputation but ruined by the irresponsibility of a dive centre. The accommodation is 4 star, the bed is comfortable, but no phone, no room service, rain or shine you had to take the water taxi to the other side...if you are healthy, it's Okey. If you suffered from motion sickness for 3 days n still had to take a boat ride, you would feel dizzy even by just looking at the water...Food was good except for breakfast. I had omelet for 7 days...It's the food and the staff make the resort 4.5 star... Suggest resort to provide towels and collect them at the end of the snorkeling so guests don't have to drag the water dripping towel back to resort, especially if you had to take a bus ride back.. I won't recommend anyone has health issues to go there... I didn't see any hospital near by... Roatan must receive millions of tourists each year. But no infrastructure, I didn't any big hospital near by... very primitive, I was shocked by the proverty... I heard lots of negative comments re airport immigration.. but my experience was good. I never had to wait long for both arrival and departure...

A premium experience without the premium price.
I was here in January 2025 and again in December 2025. Already have reservations for March 2026. Why so many times? Because of professionals like Marcus!! Marcus is personable, knowledgeable and provides premium snorkeling. What a gift!! Anthony’s key has great staff all around. The waiters in the restaurant are fantastic. Well run. An island paradise! Settle in and enjoy the wonderful snorkeling and sunsets!

Once in a lifetime experience
I went for the dolphin swim and snorkeling and it was absolutely amazing I got to swim with the dolphins and play with them I would recommend this to everyone I had the most amazing time. The trainer Jason introduced us to Sandy who is the prettiest dolphin he was very knowledgeable and informative. This was a once in a lifetime experience

The dolphin snorkel and swim was incredible!!! We have done other dolphin excursions. None of them come close to how amazing this one was! Jason did a great job teaching us about dolphins. Our dolphin, Sandy, was wonderful! She posed for some pictures with us. Pricing for the pictures was very very reasonable - $45 for digital copies of all photos. We pad more than double that for the photos at another location last year. After learning about dolphins, we had 30 minutes to snorkel and swim with them!! AMAZING!! A few of them played with my husband - passing sea grass back and forth. Swimming with him. AMAZING!! To say this excursion was worth the cost would be a huge understatement! This will likely be the only excursion we ever do when we go to Roatan. It was such an awesome experience!

We should have come here sooner!
What an amazing experience! This was our first time staying at a dedicated dive resort but we've been looking at Anthony's Key Resort for years as an option/possibility. My wife and I travel 2-3x a year for scuba diving and decided to give Anthony's a shot -- and we were certainly NOT disappointed! We loved it so much that we're already planning our next visit! Caveat up front -- we're kinda snobby when it comes to accommodations and service, so please keep that in mind as you read this. We could have gone "cheaper" but glad we didn't -- this trip was certainly worth the splurge. From reservations, to pre-travel planning, to pick-up, to arrival & check-in, to the dive operations, food, service, quiet and tranquility, problem resolution -- we were absolutely spoiled with Anthony's staff and facilities. We arrived to the fastest check-in we've ever experienced followed by a fresh welcome drink and delicious panini or burger, and the most efficient resort brief I think we've even experienced (was about 5 min!). Luggage was delivered almost as fast as we arrived. The one small inconvenience we suffered at check-in (A/C had frozen up) was immediately fixed and Alex from Maintenance stayed there until it was working well - That's Dedication! The rest of the stay progressed splendidly and Yolanda (GM) runs a tight ship. The only complaint that we could muster was that the food was TOO GOOD and we ate too much! We stayed in one of two premium suites on the property and it was absolutely perfect. They have not only tastefully integrated the decor with the beautiful location, but also thought of everything, from snacks and water, to the full-size coffee pot, plenty of fresh local ground coffee, reuseable filter, and the stocked mini-fridge. The cabin was a bit of a walk to get to the water taxi, etc., but we enjoyed the stroll and the quiet and the walk was certainly offset by the amazing location on/over the water. Bedding was fantastic, the room clean and cool, the bathroom wasn't cramped and the thought they put into every little detail like charging stations (with USB-C PD plugs!) on the end tables and a large power tower for charging camera gear, etc. really demonstrated that Anthony's really cares about their guests. Sherry from Housekeeping timed her services well and the room was sparkling when we returned from our morning dives. The diving operation was Top Notch, Kevin runs it smooth and organized, and our DM John and Capt Richard did everything they could to make our dive trip enjoyable - including some delicious fresh lionfish ceviche with fresh plantain chips! Though the weather didn't cooperate most of the trip (we were in the rainy season), we loved the crew and the team of no-longer-strangers we dove with. Matter of fact, they thoughtfully put us with an appropriate group of advanced divers -- we're glad we weren't on the "other" boats but I'm sure those were skill/experience appropriate as well. We opted for the 12-dive package (each) with Nitrox, and we're glad we did because diving 3x+/ day for 6 days would have been too much for us. The restaurant crew was amazing as well. Quick, friendly, attentive service with cheerful banter and a true "family" atmosphere overlooking the water and enjoying both sunrise and sunsets. We loved the Ankor Grill and especially our servers Brandon, Quincy, Wessley, Fernando, Sony, Erick, Ebanks, Edgar, and especially Perry made each meal better than the last. The dining experience was nothing short of amazing, drinks were strong and well-presented, and overall we never felt rushed -- but Oh Lord we were FULL. Even skipped a few meals because we weren't hungry! Can't forget the water taxi crew... Kevin and Steven sit out on that boat day & night ferrying passengers back & forth from the island to the dock, but never once did I see a complaint or irritation on their face even with driving rain or blazing sun. It was a pleasure to chat with them for the 2-3 min boat ride each time. There is also an army of employees that work behind the scenes to make each guest's experience wonderful and all of it well led by a core group of managers that truly show their expertise in running a nearly flawless operation. A few tips I can share that we thought of during our trip: 1) Dress clothes not needed... that was a plus. We dove almost every day too, so a full-size resort-appropriate hygiene kit isn't necessary. They provide reef-safe shampoo/conditioner/body wash so you don't need to bring your own. 2) Bug spray and possibly a small Thermacell is a good idea, especially if you plan on sitting on your deck/balcony around sunset. We used both Cactus Juice and a Thermacell and bites were infrequent. 3) Bring good walking sandals (we had two pair & swapped when they were wet/dirty) 4) The in-room full-size coffee pot (premium suite) and coffee service (grounds, etc.) was the best we've had at a hotel/resort... EVER. Huge Win. 5) Charging ports & plugs are plentiful all throughout the room. We didn't need the extra extension/power ports we brought. 6) Bring extra water bottles (we brought 2x 1.5L and 2x 1L, plus insulated tumblers) - those came in handy. We rotated the fridge space to keep water chilled and only had to refill about once a day at the water "hut." There is a 1L carafe in the room for refilling as well. 7) Eat smart... we ended up eating TOO MUCH and had to dial it back the last few days because we were so full! Overall, we felt like VIP guests the entire time we were there, and the familial atmosphere ensured we weren't treated as "just another guest." The smiles, conversations, and overall feeling of welcomeness is what we'll remember most... until the next time we visit!
