Hawks Cay Resort

This was right up there with our Pebble Beach trip. My husband had retired end of July & this was his "retirement trip". We left NC & went all the way to Key West (for the 1st time). He had done the research & found Hawks Cay from watching fishing shows on TV. It was an awesome stay all the way from the room with an ocean view to the staff and the relaxing atmosphere. The shrimp tacos were my personal favorite and the best activity was no doubt the dolphins. There were a few things that I wished we had done so if you get a chance to stay here, be sure and do anything that you thing you would enjoy. Our fishing trip was cancelled due to the weather so we did a day trip to Key West (not what I expected) but still enjoyed it, just to say I've been there.

My husband and I can't say enough about Hawk's Cay. The facilities were very nice, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Ava, our house keeper was always very helpful and friendly. A big "Thank You" to the resort for helping to make this a great vacation.

My wife and I stayed at Hawk's Cay for our anniversary. The staff and accommodations were outstanding. We were impressed with all of the activities available for all members of a family. So much so, we are looking to come back in the future with our kids. Ava, from House Keeping, took excellent care of our room, and was a friendly face to talk to throughout our stay. Thank you, Hawk's Cay, for a fun-filled, relaxing vacation.

My husband, myself and 12 yr old son recently went to Hawks Cay and had a great time! The saltwater lagoon was so much fun and the surrounding water couldn't be clearer. The room was clean and booking.com had made an error so Hawks Cay upgraded us to a better room - we had a wrap around balcony and gorgeous view of the pool, tiki bar and lagoon. Anna in housekeeping did an incredible job and left towels in different shapes (heart, swan, etc) and flowers on our bed daily! We went on the sunset cruise, rented a boat for 1/2 day and fished and my son & I also swam with the dolphins which was a great experience. The property is HUGE, and you need to take a tram or be driven in a golf cart to get around. I wasn't blown away by the food, all the restaurants seem to have similar or the same items. Alma, the fine dining restaurant, had way too much Cuban influence in my opinion. The drinks were great and the majority of the wait staff were friendly. The hotel was clean. The gift shop downstairs was grossly overpriced and they didn't have any Hawk's Cay t shirts or baseball hats - which would have been a great souvenir. Overall we had a fabulous time and will be back again

Ducks Key is a nice mid-Keys location and Hawks Cay offers all categories of rooms. We had a 2br villa in the Marina Village that was nice and spacious, with a very good full kitchen, washer and dryer, and 2 full baths. The rooms are not super fancy, but they are nicely sized and comfortable. We had a could of minutes walk to the main hotel and pool area. Pluses were a nice large pool and swimming lagoon, and plenty to do. We did snorkeling and Snuba, and the Snuba trip was great. There are multiple restaurants at the resort, and plenty of activities for kids. Minuses were a lot of people, lengthy check in times, too many pick up trucks, and too many people covered in tattoos. A bit much at times and at night it felt like we were at a fraternity party. But all in all, Hawks Cay is a good time, a nice location, and a reasonable value. There are not a lot of great hotel options with full kitchens and multiple bedrooms so this might be your best bet for a reasonably priced vacation.
