This all-inclusive resort in Roatan provides all the modern comforts in a timeless and unspoiled landscape.

Telephones and TVs are blissfully absent here, so you can focus on what’s important. Spend peaceful afternoons cradled in a hammock overlooking the ocean or snorkel the crystalline waters in search of marine life.

It’s home to thick, vibrant coral, playful dolphins, and varied marine life. This enchanting undersea adventure is just minutes from your bungalow. All experience levels are welcome including beginners with the resort offering on-site training and featuring a hyperbaric chamber. After a full day’s activity in Roatan, life simply couldn’t get better than a hammock and soothing sea breezes. Or, unwind by the pool; your tensions will fully evaporate with just one dip. For ultimate relaxation, rejuvenate your body and nourish your spirit with a relaxing massage at Ixora Spa. Tranquility is easy to attain at AKR.

Explore the resort with a leisurely paddle in the lagoon or head over to Bailey’s Key for some time on a cozy beach.
Stand-Up Paddle
Stand-Up Paddle (SUP) on Calm Caribbean Waters - Try out the latest craze in above-the-water sports while at Anthony’s Key with Stand-up Paddleboarding or ‘SUP’ for short. This new fun way to enjoy the ocean allows you to glide across the water on large surf-style boards and long paddles to enjoy a 360-degree view only achieved while standing upright. Stand-up paddling is so comfortable and relaxing, you won’t feel like you are doing a sport!
Dolphin Encounters
Discover the many ways in which you can interact with dolphins during your stay at Anthony’s Key Resort! This small hideaway allows guests the rare opportunity to enjoy face-to-face encounters with these majestic mammals. We have fortunate to have a resident pod who have made their home just across our lagoon at Bailey’s Key. Here, you can swim and snorkel with them on their terms. They are not trained animals. Rather, you will experience what it’s like to truly be part of the pod.
Dolphin Dive
To begin, you’ll attend a top-side orientation that includes a question and answers session. Here, you’ll learn about dolphin diving etiquette. After your five-minute boat ride, you’ll land at a beautiful reef wall where you’ll descend to a white sand bottom at 60 feet. The dolphins are then free to interact with you as they choose. The unstructured setting allows guests to learn more about the complex way that dolphins form relationships and communicate. These sessions are limited to a small group, including a dive guide, dolphin behaviorist, and videographer.
Play and Swim with Fun-Loving Dolphins
This 45-minute activity begins with a brief introduction to two of the dolphins. After, you’ll enter the water for a playful swim as well as to experience the thrilling “Foot Push.” This is when the dolphins push you by the feet above and around the water’s surface. This is the best way to fully experience the strength and speed of the dolphins. Then, you’ll go for a gentle ride around the lagoon while holding on to the dorsal fin. This famous “Dorsal Ride” is iconic among our guests and is not to be missed!
Summer Camp for Kids
The popular Dolphin Scuba Summer Camp offers parents a fun and educational way to keep the kids occupied during vacation! During the week, children (ages 5 to 14) will interact with bottlenose dolphins through various encounters, feeding, and training sessions. They’ll also be exposed to diving & snorkeling skills in keeping with their age and skill level. Your child will gain a real appreciation for the ocean, marine life, and our environment thanks to the oceanside discussions, short classroom sessions, and snorkeling trips. The staff at the Roatan Institute for Marine Sciences and the PADI professionals from AKR’s Scuba School are the camp instructors. Campers join parents for lunch daily, and parents are always welcome to observe and participate in most activities.
