Currently staying here for me and my wife’s honeymoon and it is a 10 out 10 experience! Go and see Jacob the bartender at the tiki grill he will take care of you! Very clean and the staff is very helpful and charismatic!

We stayed from 6pm Tuesday to 11am Saturday. Within that timeframe the adult pool was only open on Friday for about half the day, and it opened at 10 am Saturday after the cleaning was completed. The health department had it closed almost our entire stay. We booked a king room with a patio directly to the pool which was not helpful at all. The pool was the whole reason for booking our room. The staff themselves were always helpful when needed, and greeted everyone. The bar staff were enjoyable and polite. Breakfast was very basic heat and eat style food. Prices were very high. We booked with points. The bill was not at all correct but when checking out the front desk lady took the time to get it all corrected prior to us leaving.

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!
