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!

We came for vacation end of April Beautiful resort. The pools were spectacular, the adult kids enjoyed the Tennis courts and the fitness center daily. Angler and Ale restaurant was amazing . We stayed in the Harbor villas and the view was beautiful. The villa was spacious and comfortable and clean . Easy to walk to various parts of the island. Enjoyed the main pool and lagoon the most . Hot tubs were clean and relaxing. Would highly recommend! Can’t wait to go back down .

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!
