Explore the Water, Above and Below
At Anthony’s Key Resort, the ocean is at the heart of every experience. Whether you’re diving among colorful reefs, meeting dolphins up close, or simply paddling through calm lagoon waters, there are endless ways to connect with Roatan’s vibrant marine world — above and below the surface.

We offer any combination of Scuba courses desired to meet your personalized training needs and schedule — from Discover Scuba to Instructor! Additionally, as a PADI Career Development Center, we offer vocational-oriented and continuing education training to prepare individuals for dive industry careers.
Swim With Dolphins
Dolphins seem to top just about everyone’s “favorite animal” list, and it’s no wonder— these gentle mammals are friendly and intelligent and are known for their agility and playful behavior! While in Roatan, you’ll have the rare opportunity to interact with Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins in a natural seawater environment.
KAYAKing
The waters inside the resort’s lagoon are calm most days of the year, and kayaking is a great way to spend an afternoon after diving or snorkeling. 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 Paddleboarding
Stand-up paddleboarding is a peaceful way to enjoy the clear waters around the resort. Glide across the lagoon on stable boards and take in panoramic views of the bay. Whether you’re getting a light workout or simply soaking up the sunshine, it’s a relaxing way to connect with the beauty of Roatan.
Beach at Anthony’s Key
Unwind on the resort’s small sandy beach, tucked between tropical trees and calm, crystal-clear waters. Lounge in a beach chair, take a refreshing swim, or launch a kayak or paddleboard right from shore. It’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the island’s natural beauty between adventures.
Enjoy OUr Fresh-water Swimming Pool
At the center of Anthony’s Key is our 30′ x 60′ in-ground swimming pool, hidden among towering palms and a short walk from stilted bungalows on the perimeter of the secluded eight-acre island. The four-foot-deep freshwater pool is perfect for swimming laps or relaxing after a day’s adventure. Sit and soak in the pool’s built-in perimeter seating or lounge chairs at the pool’s edge.
