Reviews for Hawks Cay Resort
Hawks Cay on the Boat Marina
The resort is beautiful and well kept. The rooms are clean and well kept when we stayed on the boat marina. The noise level, even with many boats coming in, was peaceful. The service is fast and the food and drinks are great.

Avoid is all I can say.. cannot get refund on cancellation
The website looked great for families in November and we booked our February trip..l. Reading December reviews problems started being reported. All the things on the website like dolphin connection no longer exist and the toddler pool area is no more! None of this was disclosed in any communications we received. We decided to cancel and that brings another list of issues. We cancelled our rooms 4 weeks before our stay and were entitled to a complete refund. We got refund from 1 room. But many calls and a week later cannot get refund for the other room. Reservations tell us to call front desk as there is nothing they can do. Been calling for days and no one ever answers front desk phone. I have disputed with my credit card company but this unacceptable.

Hawks Cay is a gem in the Florida Keys
Hawks Cay is a special place to me and my family. We live in South Florida and try to visit a couple of times a year at least with friends as a getaway. I particularly like the Sunset Village villas on the beach and the Harbor villas on the lake/canal. We have been coming for years and I can't help but note how much the resort has improved recently. The setting has always been fantastic. But the resort has clearly invested substantially in improving its facilities and the overall experience in the past year or so. The townhouse villas have been substantially renovated since when I first started coming and are now at a level commensurate with the rest of the upgraded resort. I can't wait to come back once the water park is ready.

It doesn’t get any better than Hawks Cay. Love it.
It was much much better than we anticipated. Can’t wait to have another vacation at Hawks Cay. Next year I’m going to bring my children and their family.

Favorite hotel in the Keys
Love the villas at Hawks Cay. We had one with a hot tub - great way to end the day! Hawks Cay is a great place to relax in between fishing trips and partying in Key West. It’s our favorite in the Keys.

-Ed K.
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!
-Amy M.
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!
-Erika S.
A wonderful place to totally relax and enjoy the beautiful water of the Florida Keys!
