We arrived at Hawks Cay today and it has been an incredible experience! We checked in around 10am - arriving early. At that time we met a lovely manager named Melissa who stated that she was the Villa Manager. Such a delight as we are staying in a villa! She promptly gave us information regarding things to do and how to best enjoy the property. A few hours later, our room still wasn't ready (although check in is at 4pm, we were hoping to get in early) and we ran into Melissa again! She went and inspected the villa herself to see if it was ready and was able to get in early. After we got the call, we ran into her on a golf cart and she gave us a tour of the property. What a delight to have such a personal check in experience and a manager so willing to take care of us. We live in England and staying for the first time with our family (who has been here before). The first time the family has been together in years and this personal touch has made all of the difference in the world. We are looking forward to a fun filled weekend with family, festivities, and a great personalized experience. Thank you Melissa!

This was our secondtime at Hawks Cay resort. Event hough the resort seemed aged, the service was great. Food came out way too long at the Tiki by the pool. The high7of our trip was the resort manager Honor. He helped me and my husband with our rental tesla and phone app. He was very professional and made us feel like we were very important. Great guy! Definitely coming back.

Jacob was incredible! We hung out at the tiki bar and he was so friendly and welcoming. If you ask what drink you like, he will create a unique cocktail off the menu. Highly recommend

It was a wonderful resort! The food and service were excellent! Simon gave us a tour so we knew everything there was to offer from the start and we took full advantage! The room was super nice and sparking clean (which is very important to me). They also had a photobooth by the pool so we got some great memories to take home with us!

Our stay at Hawks Cay Resort was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, the property & hospitality swept us away—it’s gorgeous & perfectly captures the relaxed luxury of the Florida Keys. We spent our days lounging by the pristine pools & enjoying the incredible views. The resort grounds are immaculately kept—the perfect backdrop for a tropical getaway. What truly elevates Hawks Cay from a great resort to an unforgettable experience, is the people and culinary options. The food and beverage experience was flawless. Every meal was a highlight, and the cocktails are top-tier... exactly what you want in hand while overlooking the water. The service across the entire property was incredibly sharp. I have to give a massive shoutout to Simon Curtis. Simon was the definition of exceptional hospitality. His friendliness, genuine warmth, and proactive attentiveness made us feel like VIPs from start to finish. He went completely above and beyond to ensure our experience was perfect. We will absolutely be returning! I highly recommend Hawks Cay for an all around relaxing & fun getaway in the Keys!

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!
