The photos of the booking were NOT the room we booked. When I asked about changing rooms, I was told they were sold out. The hotel only had 5 rooms booked, if that. I was happy to pay for an upgrade. Instead he told me to let him know about the incident next time I booked and he could discount me. I was asking for an upgrade at my expense, not a Discount to a place I would never return.

My stay at Drop Harbor was excellent. The room was spotless and the location couldn’t have been better. I opened my door and the water was right there — absolutely beautiful. The front desk staff was very friendly and welcoming. Overall, a fantastic experience!

Friendly staff, we checked in early to have access to the kayaks and pool, and they prioritized the room and contacted us early to pick up the keys. Great location and close to our beach destination, Islamorada Sandbar. Highly recommended stay.

We were so lucky to find this little hidden gem in Islamorada. We needed a room for 1 night on our way back to Miami, but didn’t need all the frills. Drop Anchor was the perfect place for us.

We had a queen room that was super small and rated as ocean view. No room in the bathroom to put anything around the sink while you are getting ready. Area where the bed is is so tight you have to get on the bed from the foot of the bed. Definitely not the best room we have ever had. The property did seem nice but be aware there is a $35 resort fee and all I saw was about 5 kayaks??? Not worth $35 in my opinion. There is also not enough parking spots for all guests and we had to park on the road next to our tiny room. I would probably not stay there again. At least not in room 14b!!

Hotel manager just isn’t professional had to call twice and leave messages to extend my stay. Only to find Shower pressure is a dribble and won’t get hot. No privacy in room as there are only blinds that you can see through. Remote for the ac unit had dead batteries and wouldn’t operate and it’s 30 degrees out today. Just a tired place and not worth the price for sure. Won’t be back way too many other good options
