Let me start of by saying that this place is very unique. They are building a waterpark which is awesome. Typical keys issues with waits. Be prepared for that. But the staff is genuine. We talked to Honor in the lobby for 20 minutes about the resort. He was very informative and sincere. Hard to find nowadays. Truly enjoyed our conversation. We have a friend who owns a villa in the marina area. But we stayed at the resort this time. Had a great time. The new DJ by the pool was also awesome.

First off I LOVE Hawks Cay! The atmosphere the rooms and of course the Florida keys! The townhouses are amazing! Your stress just melts away! But who I love most is Magda she is the director of catering! She is the sweetest person and she has the most amazing work ethic! If you are looking to host an event there Magda will put all your worries at ease! Thank you Magda! 🥰

A mixed experience, beautiful hotel and location but VERY limited food options - do not have a drink at the pool bar in the afternoon if you are looking for evening dining, we have learnt that everything is a drive away! As a British traveller it’s a mind shift, driving is essential apart from 2 food outlets on site - one of which is fine dining. Uber eats can deliver for a very high fee as the nearest outlets are a 10 mile drive. We would stay again but in a villa with a place to prepare our own meals rather than the hotel.

Had a great time at Hawks Cay this summer, as always. The service is great every time, especially with Jacob at the Tiki Grill. His service is great and he is very knowledgeable on the menu. Will definitely come here again.

Jacob was an awesome bartender and made my day. Hawks cay is an amazing place and definitely a destination to come to and get some special cocktails from him .

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!
