We unfortunately had a subpar experience and decided to check out early. The Marina “villas” were shoddy - soap falling off the shower wall, broken headboards and blinds and tired furniture. We had some cooler evening and the heat was also broken. The pool area and “lagoon” were basic and the only report amenity with limited activities. The entire area as well just looks out at the highway. Unfortunately the kids pool area was under construction. Wish I could say the service was good, but it was hard to get anyone on the phone. I do not recommend this resort.

I absolutely loved the Tiki Bar at Hawks Cay Resort. Jacob were fantastic bartender and I loved the drinks they made me. The Tiki Mule was one of my favorites and I absolutely will visit again.

Tiki Bar was fantastic and every drink was made perfectly. We came for a company trip and we met Jacob and Pierre and they were great bartenders. They make great cocktails and amazing conversation. I tried the Miami Vice for the first time and was not disappointed.

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!
