I should not be giving five stars based upon the food, However… The customer service and attitude of every employee at Hawks Kay resort is 10 stars! I stayed in a standard room, And it was absolutely immaculate and beautiful. I spent time at the adult only pool, Emma had background music that was the perfect volume so that you could still hear the conversations that you’re having with people. The pool area was very clean and had an employee walking around at all times just to make sure everything was tidy and perfect. I actually walked around the entire resort property, And was so impressed with how clean and well manicured the grounds are. They are going to do some major remodeling and reconfiguration of the restaurant and market that they have, Bringing in a five star chef and moving the restaurant so that it has a view of the ocean. Clearly, the management of this place understands what the customer is wanting. I cannot wait to come back next year and see the changes, And more importantly, eat at the restaurant that I hope will be a better experience than it was this trip. The only reason why I’m not giving a five star review is because of the lack of creativity from the chef, as well as The experience that one of my friends had from the restaurant as well. The bathroom has a unit that is supposed to be attached to the wall of the shower that holds the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, And it was sitting at the base of the shower near the floor, and there are strips of sticky tape on the shower Supposed to go. It is definitely the little things that make the difference between a four star and a five star rating. I hope to see the little differences improve. They are kid friendly as well as pet friendly, And as a pet owner, that means so much to me, To know that next time Can bring My dog and know that she’s welcome. Unfortunately, I cannot upload pictures for whatever reason. Read less

This was hands down the worst stay we have ever had. We stayed in the Mariana village villas. Not worth the money at all. The beds were awful, way too small.2 full size. BUT We were told it would fit our family of 6 comfortably. We had no idea. The fridge leaked water on our food inside. The dishwasher was falling out. It was incredibly uncomfortable. Upon returning from fishing at night, My room key stopped working and I was told I was going to have to switch rooms, however my things and family were sound asleep inside. Then the employee used the master key to let me inside. The parking in front of the villas and on premises was a nightmare. The a/c did not cool the villa down and we were very hot. In addition, it was so overcrowded that finding a chair by the pool was nearly impossible. The pool side service over charged us by 160$. I have not been able to speak with someone who can fix it. There are so many option when visiting the keys. I would never stay here again. Read less

We had a wonderful time at the resort! It’s clean, we enjoyed the live entertainment and most of the staff were all great as well. My biggest complaint is that your resort does not enforce the rules.

We had a wonderful time at the resort! It’s clean, we enjoyed the live entertainment and most of the staff were all great as well. My biggest complaint is that your resort does not enforce the rules. The staff at the Pilar’s 21 and up tiki bar continued to serve a very rude young couple and their screaming kids. The rest of the bar patrons heard her yell numerous times, “ we’ll continue to tip you well if you continue to serve us.” which I found appalling! While I also have children and appreciate your family friendly hotel, please encourage your staff to enforce your resort rules so the rest of us can enjoy what we paid for. Read less

We love the keys, specially hawks cay. We have been coming here for years. We usually rent a villa since we travel with family and kids. This time we where placed in the villa 5090. It’s a two bedroom villa well equipped .. it has access to a pool in the back but the villa itself is small compared to others we have stayed at. The pull out couch mattress was paper thin, you could feel the frame if the bed in your body when you laid down. For the amount of money they charge for those villas they should buy at least a decent mattress. We have a baby and every-time I laid down she would wake up because of the noice. There was no extra bedding for that bed either. No room service ( for clean towels … extra sheets .. trash bags. So your pretty much staying at an overpriced rbnb! Read less
