Sad to say we are leaving today. I was nervous about the mixed reviews but we had a blast. Yes, we also had to wait to be serviced at the pool but it is summer in the keys. One person stood out when we almost got into an argument with another person at the pool. Honor stepped in and prevented a big issue before it got nasty. He was so professional and handled a heated situation very well.

Donnie at the Lagoon Beach was awesome! Very helpful and explained the paddle boats to the children. Enjoyed very much! Location is good, the villa was horrible. Otherwise had an awful experience, day 2 Lorraine Kerr saved our vacation; she would be the reason I would give a 5 Star.

We were here last year around Christmas time. We did not have a great time. Hada terrible villa with not a good view. Honor offered us to come back so we did. He helped us with our reservation rate and made sure we go the room we booked this time. He sent a nice wine amenity for us too.

We had a wonderful stay! The resort is beautiful, clean, and perfect for families. Our kids had an amazing time paddleboarding, and a special thank you to Donnie for organizing everything. He was so friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience easy and fun. The staff was welcoming, the atmosphere was relaxing, and we truly enjoyed our time here. We would definitely recommend this resort and would love to come 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!
