Hawks Cay Resort

Ada at the Starbucks in the main building was fantastic with her service. She always has a smile on her face and is courteous, friendly and fast. Normally I don't write reviews on individual people but she is always pleasant and deserves recognition.

I'm a little embarrassed that it took me this long to write this review. We were there in late Feb. 2016. This place was awesome and it was a great trip. I traveled with my mother for a week of sunshine and it was just that...! We DO plan on coming back, but plan to explore other places while my mother is still able to travel freely. It was the perfect island with everything that we needed there within walking distance - hotel, pools (adult only pool!, good restaurants, swimming with the dolphins, spa, marina, etc.). If you didn't feel like walking, they had a trolley to bring you around the island. It was mid-range for price - nice, but not super expensive. Food was good (oh my - the mahi-mahi tacos!). My favorite part was the lagoon. I pretty much - every day - had a private lagoon to swim in... It was right next to the dolphin lagoon. Everyone else thought the water was too cold, but I love ocean water. We went to Kmart and bought a raft and I floated around in absolute bliss. I've recommended this resort to my friends with children - since it's a fairly easy drive from Miami airport. The resort had kid activities, but being child-free - we didn't really see too many around which is good thing (lol!)...

We stayed 6/11/17 through 6/17/17. This was our 4th year. 2 boys aged 17. Our daughter did not make it this year due to college summer school. Always very relaxing. The slow pace is exactly what we were looking for. We went fishing almost daily on the property and have done charters as well. Salty dog Charters on Marathon, has half day reef fishing relatively inexpensive(caught lots of snapper) or go offshore or inshore from Hawks cay Marina(we have not chartered with them). Our kids love the sports activities at Coral cay club for kids. They were able to have fun without needing to involve us so that we could do as we pleased. Very relaxing and beautiful place. The staff was very friendly and Basil who works pool side was always very helpful. Some of the other pool staff not up to his level but this is the islands and some locals operate on island time. That said, not the island time mentality not as bad as Bimini or Jamaica. We always go snorkeling as well. Each year our kids said this was a terrific trip.

We booked Hawks Cay for our 25th Anniversary. Only wish we could have brought our kiddo here when they were younger. Very family friendly resort with daily activities. 5 pools plus a lagoon with kayak & paddleboard rentals. Breakfast @ Ocean was a bit pricey but tasty & convenient. Lunch @ Angler & Ale overlooking the fishing docks was delish.

We have been here 4 times, we keep coming back. Its close to home 2 hrs, it's great for fishing, diving eating or doing nothing. The kids always have a great time. You will not be bored, it's beautiful.
