We absolutely loved our time at Hawks Cay! What a beautiful location with TONS to do for kids and adults. Andrew, Brett and the entertainment staff were amazing at keeping us all entertained and laughing and Grace at the kids center was lovely as well! I was surprised at the cost of things - as a friend stayed two years ago and paid half as much as we did to stay in the same villa- but I knew going in this would not be a cheap vacation. I will say, we ventured out to nearby Marathon ( 10 minutes South) for some meals and I’m so happy we did! The resort food was pretty good but options were limited and it was super expensive. Get a reservation for Angler and Ale because we were stuck in the back room the night we didn’t and it was super loud and echos back there! Also, we would choose a villa ( with water view) again because having a kitchen to cook in from time to time was amazing and we loved being away from the hustle and bustle of the resort at times. My husband and son had an epic fishing charter with Tarpon Time and we also did the dolphin experience ( can’t recommend it enough) and the snorkeling excursion arranged by the hotel as well. Overall, we had a wonderful time making memories as a family and I can’t wait to come back! Read less

The grounds are beautiful, and we loved the pools and the lagoon. There is no service at all. No housekeeping, trash service, and we had to wait on new towels for a while. The carpet in the hallway was very dirty and threadbare. The restaurants were not fully open and we were especially disappointed that you could not even get a bottle of water by Coral Cay which is where our boys liked to play. Had that bar/grill been open, we would have enjoyed it so much more. Also, the pools and hot tubs close at sunset, which we were disappointed in. Overall, we do not plan to go back. I think had more service been offered, it would be a different story. We are staying at a resort in Islamorada now that is full service and we are enjoying it so much better. Read less

The resort grounds are beautiful. Service was literally nonexistent. We stayed five nights and did not have our trash emptied, linens changed, or towels given a single time. One time I sat the garbage can outside the door so they would empty it and they took the entire trash can, leaving us without one. I assume it was because of understanding but… Read more
The resort grounds are beautiful. Service was literally nonexistent. We stayed five nights and did not have our trash emptied, linens changed, or towels given a single time. One time I sat the garbage can outside the door so they would empty it and they took the entire trash can, leaving us without one. I assume it was because of understanding but for the price of the hotel it was just ridiculous. The pool and surrounding areas were great. The curly haired DJ at the pool did a good job getting everyone involved. Dolphin experience was cool. If there was any service whatsoever, it would be 5 star but with the complete lack of service I’d give it 3 stars. Read less

I was excited to go this resort for our vacation last week. Online the resort looks amazing and got great reviews. The week before my trip They sent me a welcome letter. When I arrived I was told there is no house keeping you have to ask. Ok so I asked for housekeeping. There was not enough staff to manage this resort. They advertise 5 restaurants we were lucky if one was open. So we went off site. We arrived on a Saturday and by Monday morning I was done. Day 3 of using the same towels, everyday we stopped at the front desk asking for housekeeping. Just give me clean towels. So we checked out at $500 a night I do not think asking for clean towels is too much to ask for. When we checked out the woman asked why and I told her, restaurants not open to suit our needs, and using towels over and over for now the 3rd day I was done. She asked did you ask for house keeping, yes we did when we checked in and every morning and nothing. I get the covid struggles, and doing less for less contact, but don't send me this welcome letter and then when I arrive you shared nothing with me about the restaurants that were closed or how the hours they were open. All I wanted was clean towels each day. Don't make my bed, ok for $500 a night if I have to make my own bed under these situations I will, should not have too but will. So before you go, call and ask what is going on at the resort before you book. Went down to Key West and had a fabulous rest of my vacation, stayed at the Opal no issues there and as a matter of fact they could not do enough for us. Read less

As a travel advisor I am so happy to have Odalys from guest services able to help me with my clients and making their dinner reservations and snorkel excursions! She even offered me help with transfers to and from the airport for my clients. I highly suggest reaching out to her for all your guest service needs!
