Anthony's Key Resort
Anthony's Key Resort has been bestowed with numerous awards in the tourism industry, giving it a certain distinction that makes it the envy of similar resorts throughout the Caribbean. Accommodation is in private cabanas, which come equipped with basic amenities such as hair dryers, hot showers, safe deposit boxes and comfy beds. You won't find televisions or Internet access in the rooms, as it is the philosophy of Anthony's to give guests a chance to really "get away from it all." (These facilities are, however, available in the common areas of the resort.) The resort offers a restaurant where you can sample local specialties as well as several bars and lounges, where you can mingle with your fellow guests. If that's not enough, the staff is eager to arrange excursions such as dolphin swimming, kayaking, canopy tours, horseback riding and more.
