This review is for the tennis coach Patrick. We stayed two nights and our son who is 10 and plays a lot of tennis joined in with the daily tennis clinics and had a 30min private lesson each day. Patrick the resident tennis pro was great, very energetic and motivating, did not stop talking :) really helped some key aspects of my son’s game, which helped him to win a kid’s tournament in Miami the following Saturday. and the resort overall was very nice. The only downside was the very loud music around the pool/beach area, all day every day, which made it hard to talk/relax.

Amazing all around experience at Hawks Cay. Family vacation was a 10/10, and we have 2 toddlers. A big S/O to Donnie from Ohio for his customer service at Hawks Cay. He was so polite And helpful every time we interacted with him. Such a genuinely nice person too.

Terrible experience. Hotel overbooked so the stuck us in a Villa claiming it’s a complimentary upgrade. Villa is far away from resort amenities. I have to get in my car to go to the pool, go to the bar, eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. I will never come back here and make sure. One of my friends and family ever step foot on this “resort”. I will also let MTI, Ft Myers Offshore and FPC know about this so hopefully they never book another event at this so called luxury resort.

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!
