Reviews for Hawks Cay Resort
New manager
The place was great, met with the new manager Bob he gave us info for the best fishing and how to catch some yellow tail.

Management have never experienced made us feel special!
I have been traveling for spring break for as many years as I can remember to resorts all over, but never have I had the Manager stop and greet me, ask me where I was from and help me with directions. Not only that, this Mgr, I think his name was Bob, took the time to ask about our stay and share his favorite things to do in the keys with my family (we wanted to go fishing) and shared some local history. My husband says that the Full Moon party he described makes him want to come back next year to experience it. Our room has been so comfortable, the food outstanding and the bartender (wish could recall his name) so much fun. Try the sushi it is outstanding. We normally rotate our annual vacation but are thinking we should return again next year. Never have had such an experience. Thank you - the fishing tip was outstanding!

Must Visit
Absolutely loved the place! The new manager, Bob LaCasse, was very helpful. He took the time to give me directions, talked about all the activities to do while in the keys, and upcoming events including a full moon party which sounds fantastic. Will definitely return for another visit, and I hope I get to see Bob and the rest of the team again. Great job to all!

Pickleball paddle rental was $48
Our first outing at the resort was to go play pickle ball. I asked about borrowing paddles at the front desk. They said they open at 9. We head out a little after 9 to be told that paddles cost $12 to rent. So $48 to play a friendly family game of pickle ball. We could have bought cheap racquets (which these were) for the same price. Which we would have done if I had known. I checked the website and it says they can rented for a nominal fee. I know things at a resort are expensive, but this is gouging at a ridiculous level that will color my whole experience regardless of how the rest of the visit goes. Shame on you.

Hawks Cay Review April ‘26
Booked a two bed room villa for our family of four and have been very disappointed. The pools over crowded, gym equipment not working and everything is run down including our villa. The icing on the cake for me is they charge disney world prices for everything here. It is a shame Hawks Cay has turned into this. Will not be back

Wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon. Great resort, great food, great service!
-Ed K.
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!
-Erika S.
A wonderful place to totally relax and enjoy the beautiful water of the Florida Keys!
