Best girls trip ever! The whole resort is absolutely stunning with a perfect mix of relaxation, wildlife, and adventure. I must say though every night we went to the tiki bar and it was by far the best part. Jacob the bartender was AMAZING every night he had the same eccentric energy he was coolest guy I think i’ve ever met give this man an award. he is the best

Nice pretty all inclusive resort

Stayed here for 9 nights. The food at all the various venues was uniformly excellent. Angler and Ale, Salt + Ash and Pilar were all great as was the staff (Kenny at Pilar in particular). The spa is terrific—Jennifer, the massage therapist I had was superb. This property is lovely but not however a “serene” or relaxing place—loud music plays at both pools, sometimes from multiple sources. There are many weddings, with live music into the evening. There is also construction going on near the property with daily jack-hammering. Just bring noise cancelling headphones if quiet is your thing. The air conditioner in our room sounded like an airplane taking off every time it turned on. The staff overall was very professional and gracious.

Enjoyed our dinner at Angler and Ale. Emily was the best server. She had great suggestions and offered some great insight into the local area attractions. Highly recommend the Tipsy Mermaid!

Jacob at the tiki bar made our ten year anniversary so special. He treated us incredibly well, and was our favorite bar tender during our stay.

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!
