Our Labor Day weekend at Hawks Cay Resort was nothing short of spectacular! 🌴 From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in the ultimate Florida Keys escape—beautiful surroundings, stunning accommodations, exceptional amenities, and that effortless luxury you hope to find in a resort getaway. The property is absolutely breathtaking. Every detail creates that perfect balance of sophisticated luxury and relaxed island elegance. From the gorgeous tropical setting to the incredible atmosphere throughout the resort, it truly felt like we had stepped into our own private paradise. We did experience an unexpected issue during our stay, but this is actually where Hawks Cay truly impressed us. The situation was handled with an exceptional level of professionalism and genuine care thanks to Mr. Matt Van Buren. He listened, responded promptly, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was resolved to our satisfaction. His response transformed what could have been a disappointing moment into a reminder of what outstanding hospitality should look like. The entire Labor Day weekend was filled with beautiful moments, incredible scenery, relaxation, and memories we will be talking about for a long time. Hawks Cay delivered the kind of elevated, indulgent getaway that makes you forget about everyday life and simply enjoy being somewhere extraordinary. Absolutely stunning. Exceptional hospitality. Unforgettable experience. 🌴🥂 Hawks Cay, you’ve officially set the bar very high. We cannot wait to return! 💙

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!
