Had a great experience at the tiki bar, our man Jacob made sure we were served correct, and he was extremely polite. If it wasn’t for him I don’t think we would have had a good a time as we did. Truly an amazing place and would recommend to anyone!

The first time in the keys had a blast! Beautiful area and awesome people. First time in Hawks Key and they did not disappoint. Hung out in the tiki bar, and if it wasn’t for the man Jacob our experience wouldn’t have been nearly as good as it was. Truly the most down to earth guy who really cared about hearing our story and ensuring we had a great time (we did😹). Jacob’s the man.

Jacob at the Tiki Bar was fantastic! Great service, excellent drinks, and a friendly personality that made the experience even better. Combined with the beautiful Florida Keys setting at Hawks Cay, it was an unforgettable stop.

Had a quick weekend stay at Hawks Cay Resort and was very impressed. We booked a standard king room, but it was far from standard—spacious, spotless, and well-appointed, with a large bathroom and an excellent shower. The staff was fantastic from start to finish. Check-in was smooth, and the front desk team was knowledgeable about the resort and provided outstanding customer service. Overall, a great experience, and we look forward to returning.

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!
