Once again a great time was had. Jimmy the perimeter supervisor is always the first to greet you at the entrance with a smile on his face and a proper greeting. You feel like family with him. Everyone is pleasant and their grounds are well kept and beautiful. This gentlemen is an asset to your resort.

Let me just say we’ve been here dozens of times. The staff is amazing. The grounds are beautiful. Special shout out to Jimmy out front who is welcoming, kind, knows us by name, is quick to get our luggage to our room. A total aster to this resort. Food is great, drinks are delicious. Ryan at Salt and Ash. Excellent. Ladies at the front desk especially Lowens and Nathaly are wonderful. Can’t say enough about this resort. Come check it out. The Greenwoods

This resort is breathtaking! The grounds are lush and so very well manicured. Paradise indeed! Friendly smiles greeted us when we arrived. Arno picked us up from the parking lot in a golf cart and brought us (and our luggage)to the reception area and, after checking in showed us to our room, show off some the great amenities the hotel has to offer along the way. The check in process was quick. The front desk clerk was efficient and got us on our way to our rooms in no time. We met Simon, one of the managers at check in and he showed us around the beautiful pool area. He explained the renovations and all of the additions to the property, as well as the events happening this weekend. What a nice detail! Simon gave us the VIP treatment. Our rooms are super clean and cozy. The bath is spacious and beautiful. We spent the evening at Angler and Ale. The food was outstanding and the service was top notch. And they had live entertainment! The band was so talented. They played a large variety of songs from all dig genre. Impressive. Looking forward to tomorrow’s events at the marina. More live music and vendors!

Had a wonderful dining experience and service at Hawks Cay, specifically the Pilar Bar with Kendy, and Salt + Ash with Georgina. Started with a drink at the Pilar Bar, and Kendy had some great recommendations (I wasn't familiar with some of the cocktails but it was delicious). Had dinner at Salt + Ash and had the extreme privilege of having Georgina as our server. Food was great, but the service was even better. She also had great recommendations, and I took her up on them :) Everyone we encountered was very friendly, and we will certainly be coming back. Highly recommended.

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!
