After 2 stressful hours of calling other resorts for information on booking an upcoming family vacation, I called into reservations to inquire about a possible stay at Hawks Cay, and what a difference in the quality of customer service! Teresa, the phone reservation agent, was so friendly and upbeat! She happily answered all of my questions and was so informative and helpful. She took the time to explain all the options and amenities and didn't make me feel rushed or like I was a bother. What a difference from every other resort I called! Speaking to Teresa was actually a pleasure! I can't wait to visit Hawks Cay! Read less

We booked a week here to relax following a full-on week at Disney. All in all it was ok but disappointing given what we paid. The grounds are pleasant, the lagoon is different and fun and the restaurants are ok (if a little pricey) but we were disappointed with our villa in sunset village and with the majority of the staff in the resort. Our first villa (we had to move mid-week because of some problems) was very tired and dated - had a 1980s feel. It was clean but very basically equipped and nothing like as smart as we had expected. The second was a bit better in that it had clearly been modernised at some point but still pretty poorly equipped - I appreciate the villas are privately owned but how can there be so much variation between them? Does Hawks Cay not insist on a minimum standard? Our experience with a lot of the staff was not great either. Some were good but on several occasions during our stay we had problems, none of which were handled at all well. At other times some of the staff just appeared disinterested with an attitude that suggested dealing with guests was the last thing they wanted to do. Lastly, the Marketplace was a bit of a joke. Some of the staff in there tried their best but it was so inefficient and slow - and all they had to offer was Starbucks coffee (never a fan) and a take-away breakfast buffet. Don't get me wrong, we had a pleasant week and did some great things - kayaking in mangroves, dolphin experience, couple of boat trips but it could (and should) have been so much better. Would we go back to the Cays - possibly; would we go back to Hawks Cay - unlikely. Read less
