It was our first time here and we weren't disappointed. The room was very clean and comfortable. The amenities were plentiful. And a wonderful and friendly staff. We were also fortunate to meet Bob, the general manager of the complex. Very engaging man with a great sense of humor. We will certainly come back and happy to recommend to our friends.

We absolutely love Hawks Cay! It’s a beautiful property with plenty of activities to keep the kids entertained all day long. The food options are exceptional, and the service throughout our stay was outstanding.

The experience was one of the best I ever had with me and the family everywhere you go you have transportation inside the resort Kim was our Driver every day when we stay there and he was awesome. He will pick those up and drop us back at the resort on his golf cart. We had an amazing time at the resort. We’re definitely coming back five stars.

We absolutely loved our stay at Hawks Cay Resort! From the second we walked into our room, we were impressed with how clean and updated everything was. Waking up to the view of the pool and ocean every day was honestly one of our favorite parts. We tried a few of the restaurants during our stay and every meal was so good. The staff everywhere around the resort were incredibly friendly and made us feel so welcome the whole time. We also met the new manager, Bob, who was so friendly and gave us great recommendations on places to eat and things to do in the area, which made our trip even better. We truly enjoyed every second and already can’t wait to come back!

It was a wonderful experience, one of the finest hotels I have ever experienced. The place is a true paradise. I found the staff to be extremely friendly and professional. Also a special shout out to the recently appointed General Manager, Bob. This man was so accommodating, personable and welcoming. I highly recommend this hotel if you want the full experience of relaxation and pampering. In addition to the natural beauty environs, it was breathtaking to take a boat ride on the sunset cruise. The captain and co-captain, Miguel and Mikey were warm, friendly and knowledgeable. The entire trip was the epitome of fun and relaxation. I give it a 10 star rating😎

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!
