I don't usually write reviews but huge shoutout to the Resort Director Honor. Our fishing charter was messed up along with our dinner reservations. He stepped in and fixed everything very quickly. Thank you again Honor!

Hawks Cay is one of my favorite places! I have been numerous times over the years and most recently was there 2 weeks ago. Every time I go it seems to get prettier - I noticed how beautiful the lobby area is now when you first enter. One of my favorite spots is the gift shop - with all kinds of beautifut resort wear, souvenirs, adorable kids clothes, and on it goes. Many of the staff has been there for years and it's always nice to be remembered with a smile when I go in. Jenny and Esther are wonderful and always make me feel so welcome. Go visit if you can - it's a beatiful spot!

Jacob was an excellent bartender. We have enjoyed his hospitality and friendliness. The pools are beautiful and clean, would absolutely recommend if you’re looking to unwind and enjoy all of the amenities on site.

Jacob is the best bartender I think I’ve ever had! This man deserves employee of the month time and time again!

I took my husband here this year for his birthday and we stayed 10 nights! The place is absolutely perfect! From the grounds to the staff, everything is top notch!

This year was our first visit to the Keys and therefore first time to stay at Hawks Cay. People, please listen, this is a great place to vacation! The service is impeccable and the staff was not just helpful, but truly friendly and wonderful to interact with. We didn't catch names very well, but the lady responsible for our room was lovely in heart and soul as well as the tram driver. Great, great place. And for me, the food the entire week was awesome, top-notch, delicious and I'll certainly come back.

This resort is magnificent. We stayed here for mini-lobster season and it was phenomenal. The room was so big and the bed was very comfy! The staff were so nice to us and it was very easy to launch our boat. Can't wait for the upcoming mini season! We'll definitely be staying here again!
