My husband and I stayed 4 nights here in a two bedroom town home villa in the sunset village area. The Villa was very clean and more than enough space, each one has a patio on the first floor and balcony on the second. Ours (#5047) had a beautiful view.

My husband and I stayed 4 nights here in a two bedroom town home villa in the sunset village area. The Villa was very clean and more than enough space, each one has a patio on the first floor and balcony on the second. Ours (#5047) had a beautiful view. The resort is spread out but everything was easy to get to. The staff at this resort are amazing. Every single person we interacted with was so nice and accommodating. Lots of food options and we didn't have a bad meal. Lots of pools but we only used the lagoon and main resort pool which we really enjoyed. We did stay during a slower season so nothing was ever crowded. There were daily activities and they have a fire pit next to the main pool that was started each evening with live music some nights. Great location in the middle keys. Short drive to get to The Dolphin Research Center, The Aquarium Encounters and the Turtle Hospital (all of which we did and recommend). There is a Dolphin Encounter located at the resort but we didn't stop by so I can't review it. Read less

The staff was absolutely amazing....the valet team Will, Jim, James and Roudy greeted us with a smile....they jumped right in to help us and made us feel welcome. Sophia checked us in and made sure we were happy with our room. I also have to say Marquise who I believe was part of Maintenance (not 100% sure) but every time we saw him he would ask if we needed anything...he always smiled and was eager to assist. Olivia....I called her the Julie of the Love Boat....their isn't anything that girl can't do...she can sing, she can referee a good trivia game and corn hole. The girls in the coffee shop made excellent coffee....which was much needed!!! The Dolphin Connection was awesome....the team really know how to put on a great show. Overall the resort is beautiful, the staff was eager to help and the rooms were very nice. Our group had a wonderful time. Everyone made our girls weekend trip wonderful!!! Read less

My girlfriends and I went for a long weekend. Hotel staff was wonderful, polite and happy to answer any questions. They made everything easy and enjoyable when it came to check-in & check-out, Valet parking is included in your stay and all of the gentlemen were awesome! The only complaints that I have are the beds in the Sunset villas are horribly uncomfortable. Ended up sleeping on the couch because it was the only semi-comfortable place to sleep. Also, the bugs were horrible between the mosquitos and the knats. While attempting to sit by the 24-hour pool in the evening we had to leave because we were getting eaten alive. Being a Florida native I know bugs come with the territory in FL rainy season but the resort could have had citronella candles and torches around the patio to help keep the bugs away especially for the price we paid for everything.

I had a very nice stay at Hawks Cay, specifically due to some unbelievably kind and hospitable employees. First there was Olivia at the Tiki Bar.

I had a very nice stay at Hawks Cay, specifically due to some unbelievably kind and hospitable employees. First there was Olivia at the Tiki Bar. It was her first day as a bartender and she rocked it. Kind, Fun, and eager to do a good job. Her drinks were fantastic and later, we walked over to Angler and Ale to hear Olivia sing! She had a lovely voice and made our dinner all the more special. There was also Tirshira Smith, who was manning the towel station at the pool. I posted up at a table near by to do some work on my laptop and she went above and beyond. We laughed a lot. She took great care of me while I did some monotonous tasks for my career and did not let me forget to enjoy my Florida getaway. Finally, the ladies at Dolphin Connection were fantastic. They knew so much about the animals and were happy to answer any and all questions. We especially had a good time with Tess, who was our personal dolphin trainer for the afternoon. Well spoken, enthusiastic, and exciting. We had a great time. Read less
