There’s Caribbean diving — and then there’s Roatan diving. Perched on the tranquil north-west shore of the Bay Islands, Anthony’s Key Resort has been a landmark for divers and ocean lovers for more than five decades. It’s the sort of place where days unfold gently: morning dives on the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, hammock naps under swaying palms, and evenings savoured over fresh seafood and a cool drink.
For Bluewater travellers seeking a true Caribbean dive holiday — whether it’s first experience or a bucket-list return— Anthony’s Key hits that sweet spot of underwater adventure and laid-back island living.
Bluewater travellers can currently save up to $250 per person on select 7-night packages, with additional savings on nightly stays.
A Roatan Classic with True Staying Power
Anthony’s Key Resort is more than a hotel — it feels like a community by the sea. Nestled along a sheltered bay on Roatan’s verdant coast, its colourful waterfront bungalows and hillside hideaways offer scenic views and a relaxed pace that diners, divers and snorkellers all enjoy.
There are different accommodation styles to suit varying guest preferences — from classic bungalows facing the water to premium suites tucked among tropical gardens — all designed to make ocean vistas part of your everyday.
The resort’s setting keeps you close to the water: easy access for shore activities, dive departures right from the dock, and plenty of space to unwind between dives.
Underwater Highlights: Dive the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef
At the heart of Anthony’s Key is its dive programme — robust, welcoming and well-respected in the Caribbean diving scene. The on-site dive operation is a 5-Star Instructor Development Dive Resort, a credential that reflects decades of training, leadership and excellent diving care.
Divers of all levels find plenty to love here:
- Daily boat dives — typically three single-tank dives, exploring walls, reefs and wrecks along the barrier reef.
- Night dives — twice weekly, where critters and corals glow under torchlight.
- Shore diving — right from the resort’s Front Porch Reef and lagoon.
- Dive packages tailored to every appetite: immersive 6-Day options, lighter 12-Boat dives, or beginner programmes.
For photographers and underwater enthusiasts, the reefs brim with macro life, turtles, rays and playful reef fish — and the crew on hand know the best spots to help you find them.
Beyond the Reef: Snorkelling, Dolphins and Island Vibes
There’s more to enjoy than just diving. Anthony’s Key blends marine encounters and laid-back activities so well you’ll want to stay an extra day or two.
- Snorkelling — guided boat snorkels let you splash into reef gardens and calm shallows.
- Dolphin programmes — interactive dolphin experiences for kids and adults alike.
- Maya Key excursions — a short boat ride away, Maya Key offers culture, nature trails and secluded shores.
- Kayaking & paddleboarding, poolside relaxing, and Caribbean sunsets from a hammock.
Guest Experience: What Makes It Special
What distinguishes Anthony’s Key is its sense of belonging — the way crew and guests mix, the familiar rhythms of the dive schedule, the easy laughs over dinner. It’s not about pomp and circumstance; it’s about enjoying the ocean and each other’s company.
The dive centre includes well-maintained rental gear, fresh-water rinse stations and helpful guides who are just as happy introducing newcomers to the reef as they are pointing out critters to seasoned photographers.
And because Roatan’s weather and water conditions are consistent year-round, many divers find they quickly settle into a delightful weekly routine that feels luxurious in every sense.
Planning Your Stay
Anthony’s Key is easily reached via Roatan’s Juan Manuel Gálvez International Airport (RTB), with most packages including airport transfers. The resort also runs seasonal promotions — such as discounted nightly rates, extended-stay savings, and special honeymoon or adventure packages — making it easier to tailor your trip.
High season runs roughly from January through August, with quieter periods later in the autumn and early winter where savings can be substantial.
