This was a family vacation with 9 of us. Me, my husband, son & daughter in-law and daughter and son in-law and 3 grandchildren. Grandsons, ages 9 & 11 and Granddaughter age 4. The resort offered activities for all ages and the grand kids had a blast. Pirate ship splash pad was a hit for the 4 year, with a smaller pool right behind it. The bigger pool just outside of the lobby was a hit with the older boys. And there were all kinds of activities for them to enjoy. The resort is huge and also had an adult only pool. Staff was very helpful during the booking process and once we arrived. As soon as I booked the trip (which I booked 1 year in advance), the guest experience ambassador was so helpful with scheduling a dinner for the night we arrived, booked a sunset cruise for us and answered any questions I had. And the sunset cruise was a lot of fun. We booked a 4 bedroom/3 bathroom harbor villa. It was a little tighter than I had expected for 9 of us, so I wouldn't do it again for our size group. First floor had a bedroom right off of the kitchen and a separate bathroom right off of the kitchen. 2nd floor had a large bedroom with king bed and on-suite bathroom and balcony over looking the harbor canal. Also upstairs was 2 other rooms with queen beds and a 3rd bathroom that the 2 bedrooms shared. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, utensils, coffee maker, etc. The villa had sliding doors off of the kitchen/living room area onto a deck with a table and chairs out there, and it overlooked a canal and we had beautiful views of sunrises and sunsets. Here is my Con for this trip and its about the villa: The villa was in need of some upkeep/maintenance and you could tell it hadn't had any maintenance in some time. Paint on the front steps leading up to the front door was chipped and looked like pieces of wood were actually missing. Sliding doors off of the living area were difficult to open and close as they stuck to the track, and we had difficulty closing it. Curtain on the sliders was faded. The king bedroom upstairs also had sliding doors with sliding screens and the screen was ripped on one of them so we were afraid to leave the screens open in case bugs and things got in. The other 2 bedrooms upstairs had a small shared balcony with only 1 chair and 1 small table. The seat on the chair was ripped and we were afraid to sit in it. The only bedroom that had a real closet was the large king bedroom. The other rooms just had these little cubby areas to hang a few things. I paid a little over $9,000 for a week and for that price I would expect things to be a little better maintained. But that said, the resort is great and my family had a wonderful time and experience. I would definitely go back! Read less

We had a wonderful evening at Hawks Cay Resort, Jacob who normally works at the Tiki Bar was working at Pillars Bar. He was an amazing Bartender who made our experience spectacular! He was incredibly attentive, charismatic and helpful!
