$60 for 2 alcoholic beverages and 3 tiny kids ice cream cones. Really?? My two teenagers were kicked out of the pool for closing time along with the other children who were swimming in it at 7:30 p.m. and then literally no activity on the resort. 2queen guest room has no microwave and only offers a small fridge. Nice spacious bathroom, but then there is worn carpet and furniture. Food and drinks are ridiculously overpriced. I will not be returning to this resort. There are nicer hotels in the keys that have more to offer than this so called resort. Read less

Hawks cay is a complete joke. Our tv/cable has not worked since we arrived. WiFi/internet is worse than dial-up. We travel ALOT. It’s shocking to think a resort can charge $1k+ per night and not offer basic amenities like cable television and internet.

Very Impressed with Jacob (from Turkey) at the bar in Angler and Ale and the Tiki Bar! Very personable and accommodating! He knew the tasks of his craft and made great recommendations for drinks and menu! His personality and loyalty made an impression on our party! Will definitely come back to see Jacob!
