Hawks Cay Resort

Amazing experience! Great resort, swimming with the dolphins was definitely the highlight of the trip. Very good food. Resort was very high end and close to great spear fishing reefs. The rooms were very well kept and had many amenities.

Short and sweet. It has been about 7 years since i went to Hawks Cay but again, it is a vacation i remember perfectly. The staff was extremely helpful. The resort grounds and food was soooo good. The pools were well kept and the lagoon was alot of fun to swim in. The room was one of my favorites to this day. Outside of the resort was an experience in itself. Lots of excursions and restaurants to visit. Must visit key west while you are here.

I just booked a sea stone massage, I did not spend the night there. I found that the spa amenities were a bit dated...the massage was OK. 50 minutes ended up being closer to 40minutes which is a bit annoying....

Summer is not quite officially over but the kids are back to school. In the meantime I'm still trying to catch up with all of our summer travels.  The first trip we took right after the kids were finished with school was down to the Florida Keys. There aren't a lot of hotels with a swimmable beach in the keys, but fortunately we found Hawks Cay Resort on Duck Key. Hawks Cay has their own ocean fed saltwater lagoon. It is large enough for kayaks and snorkeling and is full of aquatic life. We spent a lot of time here catching little fish and crabs. There are a couple of outdoor grills nearby and food or drinks can be ordered from the wait staff who make the rounds through the lounge chairs. We didn't stay in the resort building itself, instead we rented a two bedroom villa that was equipped with a kitchen, dining table, and a small area with a couch and television. While my wife and I enjoyed making our own breakfasts in the mornings and having extra space, I think the kids favorite thing were the iguanas that were living in the trees near our back porch. In addition to the lagoon, there are five pools scattered on the resort grounds. We didn't use the adult only tranquility pool but spent considerable time at the kid's pirate ship pool, the resort pool near the lagoon, and the sunset pool that was closest to our villa. And if that wasn't enough there are so many family activities planned throughout the day. We competed in a scavenger hunt and also spent a lot of time on the turf soccer field. There is also a miniature golf course, plenty of tennis courts, and a full service marina. There is so much to do that you may not even leave the resort area. If you do it is at least 15 minutes drive to any other restaurants or attractions. We had such an incredible stay at Hawks Cay and I definitely think we will visit again in the future.

We go every year, although I let them know is my husband bday celebration, is like I didn't say it. It will be nice if you find a card saying thank you for staying with us, happy birthday! The room was nice and clean, beautiful view. The Adult pool needs cleaning, mildew visible, pool cabanas can be all rented if they were less expensive, on Sunday only 1 out of 6 cabanas was rented. Anglers restaurant is ok, pricey for the sports restaurant environment. Friendly staff and beautiful grounds. Lovely celebration with great fireworks on Sunday, labor day weekend.
