Reviews for Hawks Cay Resort
Happy Place
We had a great time. I was skeptical with the mixed reviews but I’m glad we chose this place. The gentleman from Istanbul I believe his name was Honor was top notch. What a class act. Dolphins were gone but kids were still happy.

Get everything in writing and read the fine print.
I wouldn’t recommend this place. We stayed in a villa so maybe that was the first mistake instead of just getting a room. It was in the very back corner away from all of the amenities. It was outdated and there was a water leak in the kitchen that made water come up from under the floorboards every day. We also had a barking dog next to us that we reported to the front desk but it didn’t help the situation. Lastly, we booked a snorkeling excursion and the girl told us we would get reimbursed if we weren’t able to go to due to the weather. We found out, on the boat we were just going to a sandbar and told to call to get reimbursed. I did that and the girl just told me we were wrong and we weren’t getting reimbursed any. No apology or anything. The only good service were the waiters around the pool. If we come back to the Keys we will definitely find somewhere else to stay.

Great family weekend getaway
Great weekend getaway with our kids. The resort is very kid friendly and the staff is very responsive. We got upgraded to a villa at arrival and used the golf cart service frequently. Kim was one of the drivers for the golf cart transportation and he was very kind and helpful. I had left our babies swimsuit and he waited for me while I grabbed it and returned us to the lobby. Overall great stay and will be coming back!

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!
