Aside from learning about dolphins and other fascinating species, guests will have access to the extensive grounds featuring:
Indigenous flora, such as the Noni Tree, which normally can only be seen in remote, specific areas of Central America.
A cultural pavilion, featuring native artisans at work and wares available for purchase including handmade furniture, clothing, cigars, coffee and more.
Two small, private beaches with access to snorkeling and other waterfront activities.
A 70,000-gallon pool, complete with a bar.
A large gift shop.
A dining area where guests can sample authentic Honduran cuisine, or purchase snacks and beverages.
Changing rooms with lockers and showers.
In addition to its coming public facility, Anthony’s Key Resort offers a myriad of dolphin activities to its guests through the Roatan Institute for Marine Sciences including: the dolphin dive; snorkel/swim; 2-day Specialty Dolphin Course; Trainer-for-a-Day; dolphin beach encounter; Discovery Summer SCUBA Camp (kids 5-14 years); and Dolphin Trainer 101 (weekly package).
Serving as the precursor to Fins and Flippers, RIMS is a one-of-a-kind research and educational program dedicated to preserving Roatan’s natural resources. Students and scientists visit year-round to use on-site laboratories to study coral reef ecosystems, while Anthony’s Key Resort guests learn through a variety of recreational dolphin activities. The facility is unlike any other in that resident dolphins are integrated inside ocean-based enclosures with natural flow-through seawater and a link to the natural habitat.
