My wife and I are going to spend a week diving with Anthony's Key this Saturday. It is our first trip to Roatan, and we are looking forward to the diving. We have previously done 3 trips to Cozumel, a couple to Playa, and one to Puerto Vallarta. So far Cozumel has been our favorite by far, but we are excited to spend a week at a more dive-focused resort. Any advice for first timers at Anthony's Key? We are planning to sign up for the shark dive as well. Thanks. JB
Here at AKR right now, about to head to the Fiesta in 5 minutes.
We haven't had any issues with bugs.
It's rainy season. It poured for 30 minutes during lunch on Sunday and Monday. It appears to have rained a bit overnight. Other than that, high and dry.
Happy hour at the pool is 3-6pm every day. In the past it has only been certain days.
Did the shark dive this morning. Absolutely awesome. Cost is $130 for first person, free for second. So about $65. You will do it in place of your normal first dive but be back in time for the second dive.
Wifi is good. Haven't tried streaming but good enough for internet browsing. In the past, seems like signal was weak in the rooms but we are in room 6 hillside and have had good signal 24/7. They have an Anthony's Key app with a lot of info, including a site map and the dive sites visited by the boats each day.
Don't miss Pete's fish id clinic at 6pm Sunday night. It's quite entertaining and not a boring id class. Bringing happy hour drinks is recommended by him.
We weren't asked to have tank lights for the night dive although we had them anyway.
I think the local beer (happy hour price) is fine. Barena, Salva Vida, and Imperial. Not sure if the mixed drinks are weak or night but I've seen them add a bit more upon request. I usually have a "dessert" drink before shutting down for the night but by then I don't really need anymore alcohol in me. Tip: just before happy hour ends, ask for a six-pack to go and put in the room fridge.
It gets dark early and light very early. It's light by 5:30am. It's 6pm now and almost dark.
