Have been to Anthony's Key twice. Once in 1996 and again in 2011. First trip was in August and the 2nd one in November. First trip unbearably hot (and back then the rooms were not air conditioned, something that improved over the years) and the 2nd one was November (rainy season and it rained TONS every day - if going this time of year invest in a good rain suit!). Just can't seem to find the right season, which is extremely important. I have to mention the no-seeums, horrendous the first and 2nd trip and apparently absolutely nothing to keep them at bay no matter what you try. All that said we had a good time on both trips. Each time stayed on the key and water taxied back and forth to the main part of the resort. The bungalows improved quite a lot over the years and had comfortable beds, large bathroom, small fridge, cold a/c, huge covered deck over the water with 2 hammocks overlooking the ocean. There is now a pool on the island side with a nice bar too. They claim to have wifi, but the only place you could get online was the main bar. There is still a very steep set of stairs to go up and down for every meal. If you're young and strong, no problem, but if you have any issue walking and climbing or if you happen to get sick, this is not the place for you. The food was much better the 2nd time around and we enjoyed our meals. All open air seating, so no a/c or screens from the bugs at meals, so that could be better. Rustic is part of the charm, but I at least like to be comfortable at dinner. The dive boats are nice, though a few too many divers on a couple of the trips out. We really enjoyed our crew and the diving was really nice. We had a number of equipment failures and they were more than accommodating in getting us fixed up. Had a bc valve problem and they fixed it fast and cheap so gave him a really nice tip as well as our crew since they did an excellent job. All of the staff at the resort was helpful and friendly. Diving is typical carribean diving, which means it is really good. Turtles, rays, dolphin, and all of the fabulous, colorful fish, reef, drift, wreck and wall dives; so a great variety. The resort includes the Marine Institute and you can do dolphin dives for a fee, but you can get lucky and see them on a regular dive. You can taxi to Bailey's Key (part of the resort) and see the dolphins all you want for free or snorkel with them for an additional fee. The resort does have a chamber in case of emergency and is the only one close. All in all, it's a great place if you're looking for a very outdoorsy vacation with friends, unencumbered by modern life. Feels good doesn't it to log off for a week enjoying what life is really all about. Eat, sleep, dive, drink...then do it all over again.
