Depending on the type of room you booked. The Hill rooms are not on Anthony's Key. But rather across the key along with the restaurant, dive shop, dive center, and everything else for that matter.
Anthony's Key has about 30+ bungalow's. Most with air conditioning. We stayed in room #49. It sits on the west end with the balcony or deck, looking west and at Bailey's Key. We could hear the waves breaking on the reef and lap under our room. The rooms are rustic and airy, with screened windows, which allows for the shutters to be open in the evening for an awesome nights sleep.
Sun up at 6:00 AM and gets you ready to start your day by taking the water taxi from the key to the stairs which lead you to the restaurant where you have breakfast in the open air watching the day unfold.
From breakfast you walk to the dive center, get your gear from your locker, board your boat where our Captain or DM sets up your gear. Relax, enjoy the ride, and get ready to get wet.
You get three dives a day...8:30, 10:30 and 2:30. With available night dives on Tuesday and Thursday. They have shore diving available and plenty of snorkeling.
For the non-diver, AKR provides guided snorkel outings on a boat two times a day...11:00 AM and 2:30 PM. AKR has the Dolphin Encounter, Dolphin Snorkel, and Dolphin Dive. These are not an all-in-one package but are separate activities. On Thursday they bus all the non-divers over to another AKR Key, airport side, I think it's called "Fins and Flippers". AKR puts on a BBQ, the island has a nice pool and a very nice beach entry snorkeling.
Wednesday night is the "Beach Party BBQ" with fire dancers, limbo, and crab races. Kinda fun.
Friday is the Zip Line Canopy tour...highly recommended. Lots of fun and very cool playing in the trees. The zip line takes you from the top of the hill all the way to the beach.
In all the food is good, the water is safe, the service is good, the staff are great and very helpful. We had no problem with the bugs, at all.
It's the resort layout, diving, and the true feeling of "Paradise" that got us. We will be going back.
I hope this gives you some info.
