Reviews for Hawks Cay Resort
Gorgeous hotel but activities close too early and doors dont work!
Mixed reviews on this place. You are paying resort prices so I do expect more. Our room was beautiful and view the pool and grounds were great. However our door stuff and had to be slammed shut but then it caused the lock to get stuck so we had trouble getting in our room a few times. The bathroom door didnt shut correctly as well. Also we had to run the sink and the shower for 2 minutes before the hot water would start??? Seems very weird and a waste of water. The pool was gorgeous and it was fun to have a little lagoon that the kids could use the paddle boards and kayaks for free. However they stop the usage at 5. Finally they have an arcade but it closes at 8. Arcade should be open at night after dinner. It just felt like for a resort it should have more amenities that stay open to keep you on site. Now the place was gorgeous and offered alot of activities that you had to pay for but nice to have them as an option. Overall would stay again but for resort prices I expect to have hot water and doors that work and access to the activities included in my price.

Excellent bar (Pilar)
Kevin @ Pilar bar is excellent. Personable, great drinks, fantastic music and football on TV. Highly recommend!

Was just ok
Overall, our stay at Hawks Cay was underwhelming. The villas shown on the website did not feel representative of what we actually received. Ours was dated, smaller than expected, and felt cramped. We also had ongoing issues with WiFi and cell service throughout the property, which was frustrating. The food and coffee at the café were mediocre, especially considering the prices. On the positive side, the front desk staff and maintenance was helpful when we needed to move villas because of the WiFi issues, and the pool area was nice. Unfortunately, for the price and based on how the resort is presented online, we expected a much better overall experience.

Fun & Friendly Hawks Cay
We stayed at Hawks Cay for 2 nights and 3 days. The property is exceptional. Perfect for adult friends only or families with kids. The staff is just so friendly. I can't wait to go 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!
