My family and another family of 4 stayed at Hawks Cay in June 2020. We knew there might be a few kinks to work out because they had just opened 2 weeks earlier due to the pandemic. We arrived on Sunday evening at around 5:30. Our check in time was at 4 PM but we did a few things in Islamarado and figured this would give them plenty of time to have our villa ready. WRONG! First off, we had to wait around 45 minutes in line to even check in. When we finally got to the reservation desk our villa wasn't ready and they really couldn't tell us when it would be ready. So, we decided to go to dinner and wait for their call. We didn't receive a call so we tried calling them. Finally, our room was ready around 7:30. (Side note: the reservationist said they did call but I didn't answer. No call showed up on my phone and they couldn't leave a message??) We get to our villa and there are approx 5 towels for 7 people. Not gonna work. Three light bulbs were out, as well. So we call and they will be right over with towels. The next morning we still don't have towels. So, I go talk to the front desk about it and they offer me a $100 meal voucher for my trouble. (We paid over $500 for our room that we got 4 hours in and $!00 voucher is supposed to suffice?) Our villa has a small pool but no skimmer to scoop the leaves out. One day we couldn't even use it because an iguana pooped in it. Pool guy came the day after the iguana incident. The maintenance ppl came about 3 days after we reported the light bulbs being out (had to call 3 times on that). Did finally get a few more towels a couple of days after requested. The resort itself is amazing. The pools were great, the salt water lagoon was great for kayaking and SUP and just hanging out. We used our voucher for pizza at the Marketplace and it was very tasty. We got drinks at the TIki Bar and also had some food from there. We stayed in the Sanctuary Village #7223. It was comfortable but the logistics were kind of odd. I think it was originally supposed to be a 2 bedroom and they converted an office room downstairs into a 3rd bedroom. There wasn't a closet in that room. Plus, both full bathrooms were upstairs so that was pretty inconvenient for the couple staying downstairs. The master bedroom and bathroom was very nice. So, would I stay here again? I think so. I just wish they would've tried harder to correct the issues so we would've felt we got our money's worth. We probably dropped over $4500 there and we couldn't even get the correct number of towels. They sent me a survey to take and I voiced my concerns but a couple of days later I got an email to vote for their property for an award so I'm thinking my survey probably didn't get read. Read less

We were with a large group with rooms facing water, not facing water, & villas. Were not sure how things would be with Covid-19. Staff wore masks all the time, guests were required to wear masks in lobby. Our group was about 40 people - half 13 year olds. We had a water view room - clean, spacious, & updated. Did not realize the Covid would keep housekeeping from cleaning the room daily - but it makes sense. Property was beautifully kept & the villas were well appointed. Pool service for drinks was excellent, food was a little slow. The kids really enjoyed the lagoon pool. Read less

We tried to set our expectations at a reasonable level before arriving due to the current situation with COVID and the reopening. When we arrived there were some kinks to work out in terms of our townhome. The staff was minimal and the ones that were there were going above and beyond. Chris, the front desk manager was the most amazing, kind, and dedicated professional. He made things right for us, and the other family we were traveling with. He didn’t stop on night one either, he made sure our WHOLE stay was amazing. It was an amazing vacation that was much needed, full of good family time, fun with friends, and safe socializing. We go every year and are so happy we didn’t miss this one! Thank you Chris and all the Hawks Cay staff! Read less
