Reviews for Hawks Cay Resort
Not worth the price!
The resort is beautiful, I always like to start with a positive. The staff very friendly. Here come the negatives, we spent a lot of money for a premium updated villa. Definitely not updated internet was unsecured, villa did not have the amenities for cooking simple things. Tried numerous times to get a golf cart to take us from one part to the other, just forget it, you will grow old waiting! Tiny dorm style bedrooms. Just not what you would expect for the price. If you are told you are staying in 5046 ask to see first!

My Stay in Paradise
I recently stayed at Hawks Cay Resort and it truly exceeded expectations. The property itself is a beautiful tropical escape with lush landscaping and a relaxing island vibe from the moment you arrive. Check in was a breeze with the lovely receptionist, Nash. The rooms are nicely updated with modern décor and perfect for unwinding after a day in the sun. The grounds are one of the highlights of the resort. There’s a fantastic adults-only pool for a more laid-back feel as well as a large, lively resort pool with music. The best of both worlds! I did a lot of relaxing by the pool so I could pick which vibe I wanted. Dining was also a standout especially at Salt & Ash. It’s the perfect spot for an upscale meal with delicious food and BEAUTIFUL ambiance! I also enjoyed browsing in the Island Time Boutique....a little too much. Donna and Ester in the shop were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the experience even more enjoyable. They have such a wonderful assortment of items! I got the cutest dress to wear to dinner one night. I kept finding myself back in the shop "needing" something else. Overall, this was a perfect getaway. Only upset that I didn't make it to the spa for a massage. That would have been the cherry on top. Next time!

The resort is lovely the drinks and food selections are amazing. Simon Curtis and his staff are all so warm and welcoming. I am looking forward to going back end of April for The Grouper Open.

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!
