Sometimes you get surprised when your expectations are surpassed when staying at a resort. This happened when we stayed at the Hawks Cay Resort. The warmth of the staff, our room, the numerous activities, all surpassed our expectations. Even our dinner at the Angler and Ale was great. Our server Kaylan and Bill the manager took really good care of us. I certainly would recommend this resort and we will be back.

We love going to the Keys. It's so different when all of Duck Key consists of a hotel and villas. We stayed at one of the villas for our family. It was great. It's so pleasant to have the feeling of being home and being all together. The kids enjoyed the pool and the various activities and we enjoyed the spa and playing tennis. The restaurant Angler and Ale was very accommodating for our large party. Bill the manager and our server Ralph took really good care of us! The entire staff of the resort were very pleasant and caring. We hope to come back soon.

It’s my first day and we had a rough time waiting for the room to be ready, but thank God I went to the tiki and met with Jacob and Pierre and they saved my day! They made it very good and were very hospitable!

We visited here 10 yrs ago and it has gone down hill. The employees at breakfast were so rude. They don’t smile and slam your waters down. They’re mad to be there. Very odd customer service. There’s mold in the shower and the room smelled like gross rotted milk. The adults only pool was straight out of a trailer park….people so loud, cussing and drunk. We remember when it had employees from all different locations that were so friendly and it was so fun with kids. Now it’s run down and the people seem miserable to work there. We will never be back.

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!
