Reviews for Hawks Cay Resort
ABSOLUTELY DISASTROUS and DISAPPOINTING
ABSOLUTELY DISASTROUS and DISAPPOINTING!!!! From having to wait over 45 minutes to check-in, villas not being ready as promised at 4pm, A/C not working in the villas, being switched multiple times and even to an occupied villa, this resort is a disaster! Villas are old and run down, furniture is damaged, stained and mismatched, blinds are broken, faucets are loose, lamp shades are stained and TV are so outdated and blurry! Toiletries are empty in all bathrooms even though housekeeping can clearly see the bottles are empty and bath and pool towels are so old some even have holes. Courtney, Ana, Jeff and Christen are all managers and promise one thing and don’t come through!!! Even the managers admit the staff is mostly new (including themselves) and it shows! Courtney switched us to an occupied villa, Ana promised 4pm checkout and 6 seater golf cart and never made note of it on the account. Front desk staff is not friendly and have major attitude and never answer the phone, neither the 888 or 305 number. Good luck trying to call and request the free shuttle anywhere. Get your act together before the resort shuts down due to poor management!

Jacob’s the man
Jacob the bartender was quite the gentleman. He exuded a subtle confidence that was infectious. His drinks were great and the conversations were even better. 10/10 experience.

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!
-Erika S.
A wonderful place to totally relax and enjoy the beautiful water of the Florida Keys!
