Reviews for Hawks Cay Resort

Amazing

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 11 hours ago

Our stay at Hawks Cay Resort on Duck Key was nothing short of extraordinary—one of those rare places that manages to feel both effortlessly relaxing and endlessly exciting at the same time. From the moment we arrived, surrounded by turquoise water and swaying palms, it was clear this resort was designed to deliver the ultimate Florida Keys experience. What truly sets Hawks Cay apart is the sheer range of opportunities available right on the property. Whether we were looking for adventure, relaxation, or family-friendly fun, there was something for everyone. The water experiences alone were phenomenal. Hawks Cay offers direct access to the Atlantic and Gulf, making it a dream for boating and fishing enthusiasts. From offshore deep-sea fishing and reef snorkeling to paddleboarding and kayaking through calm, crystal-clear waters, the ocean was always calling. One of the most unforgettable highlights was the Dolphin Connection, where we were able to interact with dolphins in a responsible, educational, and awe-inspiring setting—an absolute must-do experience. For time spent poolside, the resort delivered in a big way. Multiple resort-style pools, including an adults-only serenity pool and a lively family pool with a pirate ship and splash zone, ensured every mood was catered to. Private cabanas, attentive poolside service, and endless sunshine made it easy for us to lose track of time in the best possible way. The on-land activities were just as impressive. Hawks Cay features tennis courts, a fitness center, scenic jogging paths, and daily resort activities ranging from yoga and sunrise stretching to games, crafts, and live entertainment. Kids were especially well cared for with a thoughtfully designed kids’ club, which allowed us to truly unwind while they were happily engaged and entertained. Dining at Hawks Cay was an experience in itself. With multiple restaurants and bars offering fresh seafood, tropical flavors, and waterfront views, every meal felt like part of the vacation. Whether we were enjoying a casual bite by the pool, sipping sunset cocktails overlooking the marina, or indulging in an elevated dinner under the stars, there was something to satisfy every craving. The accommodations struck the perfect balance between luxury and comfort. Spacious rooms, villas, and waterfront suites provided stunning views, modern amenities, and the soothing sounds of the ocean—ideal for both short getaways and extended stays. What truly tied it all together was the service. The staff at Hawks Cay were warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to creating unforgettable experiences. Every interaction felt personal, welcoming, and effortless. In short, Hawks Cay Resort isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a destination in itself. With adventure, relaxation, family fun, romance, and world-class amenities all in one stunning setting, it delivered the very best of the Florida Keys. We left already planning our return, knowing there is still so much more to experience at this incredible island escape.

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!
-Amy M.


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!
