Rooms are extremely overpriced and outdated. Our room had cockroaches, no hand soap and the tubs were dirty. Alerted, Odalys at front desk and no one called us back. Although the food was decent, I recommend you stay elsewhere

This resort is truly beautiful but for the money they ask, very disappointing. We stayed 6 nights. Asked for cleaning service 4x. I went to the counter twice to ask and complained and I was told they will send someone. They even took my number and said they will call when room is done, but it never happened. Market place is understaffed and for a resort this caliber has a very poor selection of food. We ate there once. There are plenty of good restaurants near by so plan accordingly. The towel lady by the main pool is very adamant and reminded me of a school teacher. Pools should be opened at sunrise which is around 7 am but if you ask for a towel at 7:50 she won’t give you any until 8. Pools have big signs until 8:30 am that they are being maintained. We came here so excited and leaving tomorrow with a bad taste and a feeling it’s all about bottom line for this management. We will probably just get a general response as all of those that were not satisfied and nothing will change. I will not recommend this place to any friends. Way too expensive for how they treat you.

We made a return visit to Hawks Cay and enjoyed our stay. We travel alot so weren't surprised that there isn't daily housekeeping as this had changed since Covid began. The grounds are beautiful and the staff makes the experience great. Derrick at breakfast is a real joy to talk with, Carmen was great each time we talked with her. Tristan was great and Shannon made our breakfast conversation one morning. The carpet in the hallways and the rooms could use some updating, but all in all we really enjoyed our time at Hawks Cay.

Stayed at one of the townhouses, outdated and small. Had what is called a splash pool, without a view of the harbor we were told we had. Long walk to the pool/lagoon. The pool isn’t large and it closes at 8 pm. The lagoon smells fishy and I could not figure out how/if water flowed into it, or it was just stagnant water. There is no beach on… Read more
Stayed at one of the townhouses, outdated and small. Had what is called a splash pool, without a view of the harbor we were told we had. Long walk to the pool/lagoon. The pool isn’t large and it closes at 8 pm. The lagoon smells fishy and I could not figure out how/if water flowed into it, or it was just stagnant water. There is no beach on the property or direct access to any body of water other than the lagoon. The lagoon draws in all the flies that attack you and your food if you eat at the pool bar. Hotel was horribly understaffed. We tried to play tennis and the shop was closed. The site brags about amenities that weren’t there. One restaurant on property that serves breakfast and dinner, another restaurant that you must drive to, and a small market that serves pizza/snacks. The pizza shop doesn’t open until 5 pm and they ran out of pizza sauce, so no pizza. The other places have specific hours of operation, so you have to be hungry at specific times. Horribly disappointed with this place for the price and the inconvenience to drive here from Miami International. Planned a week here, stayed 1.5 days and went to another resort instead. Would never recommend to anyone. Read less

Just do yourself a BIG favor and stay somewhere else! Was told just tonight they would charge me if I asked for clean bedding again. Location is great! Service is horrible and no one gives a damn! It’s a money racket.
