We came to get away from work after Thanksgiving and had a great time! Dinner at Sixty-One Prime was amazing. Better than any steakhouse and the service by Charles, the matre ‘d, Terry the bartender and Daneisa our waiter! I had the Kansas City Bone-in steak with a lovely pairing of the Meimoi Pinot Noir! Heaven!

We stayed at Hawks Cay for one evening during the Smart Ride and made the most of that one day. Jason at the Pilar Bar made the best martinis we’ve ever had. Our rooms were very spacious and comfortable and the balcony had a beautiful view of the water. We can’t wait to come back and spend more time here.

The sliding door was off track. The kitchen had no very minimal utensils. Could never get dish towels. Called multiple times. They brought us bath towels to use as dish towels. The main resort pool is nice. The children area is not cared for well. It was just old. Read less

Extremely dirty property...ROOMS & COMMON AREAS. THEY TRIED MOPPING WITH A STRING MOP. THE MOST BACTERIA FILLED OPTION POSSIBLE. There is no way management is walking this property and checking cleanliness! We booked 7 days, pool was best part, but service and staff are lacking. Way OVERPRICED restaurants and food is average at best. Cashless property. Rooms were distrusting. Black mold in the shower, took 3 days for someone to address it and we had to go back to GM, they never contacted us back. Moved us rooms, 2nd room was dirty as well, still black mold in shower's and oil on floor from not being cleaned. 3 hour wait upon check-in , front desk agents were arguing with customers as we all were told they didn't have enough cleaners for the housekeeping staff. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY. We went to grocery store and bought food, bought a cooler. No microwaves in rooms. We made lunches and took to pool and and ate dinners/breakfast outside of the resort property. Islamorada and marathon have great restaurants and a shirt drive. Read less
