My wife and I recently stayed at Hawks Cay Resort to celebrate her birthday, and we had a wonderful experience. A special thank you to the new General Manager, Bob, who truly went out of his way to make her birthday extra special. His personal attention and genuine hospitality made our stay unforgettable. The entire staff was warm, friendly, and always willing to help with a smile. It’s clear that great customer service is a priority throughout the resort. We also enjoyed the restaurants—the food was delicious, and every meal exceeded our expectations. Thank you to Bob and the entire Hawks Cay team for making my wife’s birthday such a memorable celebration. We can’t wait to return!

Hawks Cay Resort was Amazing!! My husband and I took our grandson who is 14 years old for his 8th grade graduation! We all loved it. We loved swimming in the saltwater Lagoon. I personally loved the dolphins. The rooms were so clean. The rooms were 10/10! Management was superb! Very knowledgeable and most of all he knew the history. We can not wait to come back again. Thank you !

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!
