Reviews for Hawks Cay Resort
Won’t return..
The photos of this property are better than what you actually get - the pool and lagoon are smaller than they seemed online and felt very crowded. Also, there is very little parking- you will have to walk quite a way to get to your car which is a pain in the heat, with groceries, kids, etc. There was hair in our shower on arrival. Our thermostat didn’t work, so the room went from too cold to too hot constantly. The music at the pool was dated and extremely loud- we left there early because of it. The bar menu prices are way off. I ordered a pina colada that was $13 on the menu and was actually charged $18 for it (at the bar, no wait staff involved). Positives: always available towels at the pool, nice sized balcony room and ample towel hooks in the bathroom, and Donnie was friendly.

Fish
This was my 13th trip to Hawks Cay Resort, and somehow it keeps getting better every time. The resort is absolutely beautiful, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the entire property is spotless and well maintained. A special thank you to the new General Manager, Bob, whose leadership is clearly making a positive impact. It's evident that guest satisfaction is a top priority, and it shows throughout the resort. One of the highlights of this trip was dinner. I ordered the whole fish, and it was outstanding—perfectly prepared, incredibly fresh, and one of the best meals I've had at Hawks Cay. If you're dining at the resort, I highly recommend it. After 13 visits, Hawks Cay continues to feel like a home away from home. I always leave looking forward to my next trip. Thank you to Bob and the entire team for another unforgettable stay. See you again soon!

Great Stay
We recently stayed at Hawks Cay Resort and we were not disappointed. Our check-in went well, greeted warmly, and we were pleased with our room. The amenities that were offered were great. We particularly enjoyed the adult pool. We also ate at Angler and Ale. The food was really good, and our server Stephanie was wonderful. We also met Bill, the manager, who came around often to check on us. It was a wonderful evening. We certainly will come back again.

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!

A wonderful place to totally relax and enjoy the beautiful water of the Florida Keys!
