My husband and I started coming here in the late 90’s on our sailboat “fare thee well” every year with our grandchildren. First year back in a very long time, but this time came with my great-grandchildren. Same wonderful place to have memories, and to my surprise Donnie was still here. He was so great with our grandchildren and now still so wonderful with my great grandchildren. Spoiling them with Shirley temples! Thanks for another wonderful memory! Ellen Greene and family

We had an amazing trip like always. But one employee was over the top Donnie. I love seeing him every year. My grandparents used to take me here on their sailboat almost 30 years ago and that’s when I first met Donnie. My PAPA and him were friends over the years. It’s great to see him still there.

Hawks Cay Duck Key Fl Patrick Castronovo is a gifted and very effective tennis instructor. I have attended his tennis clinics for several years and he has elevated my game significantly. He is by far the best pro to have run the Hawks Cay facility.

Loved our time at Hawks Cay. The pool is beautiful! They offer tennis and pickleball clinics, Coach Patrick was very accommodating to our players of all ranges and he helped me improve my game. Was a lot of fun!

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!
