We had an outstanding experience at Hawks Cay Resort for our Summer Symposium! The property was beautiful, the staff was welcoming, and everything came together to make our meeting a tremendous success. A special thank you to Zak, who truly went above and beyond throughout the entire event. He was incredibly responsive, helpful, and always one step ahead of what we needed. From the smallest details to the larger logistics, Zak made sure everything ran smoothly and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Planning a large association meeting takes a great team, and Zak and the Hawks Cay staff made my job so much easier. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and look forward to returning!

We had a lovely visit at Hawks Cay Resort. Our room was not ready upon arrival, and I inquired about an upgrade to check in early. I bumped into Cristen, who assured us that she would check on our room, and within less than 10 minutes, it was ready. Thank you for the exceptional service, for listening, and for accommodating our needs. We will be back!

After seeing mixed review, we were hesitant to go. We are glad we did. Cheeca Lodge was great but the amenities at Hawks Cay were better. We had our food order messed up along with housekeeping issues. But Honor was awesome to turn things around. Lagoon was great too!

Very nice resort so peaceful. Shout out to Kim from transportation. His golf cart took us to the pool and back to our villa all day long.

Hosted 120 people for our annual Fishing Tournament...The resort was extremely busy as it was over the 4th of July Holiday week, but everything went GREAT. Our Service Manager Zak Allen always goes above and beyond to make sure our events go smoothly.

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!
