"Clean and comfortable room at a very cute and atmospheric old Florida hotel/votel. We had a waterfront view and there were pretty flowers everywhere. The room was a little tired due to the age, but it was totally fine because the room was clean and very comfortable, with a full-size fridge and microwave. Overall and excellent stay with a very easy check-in and check out and nice staff."

"This is a really cool place to stay! I have stayed at several different places in the Keys and this one of my favorites. The room was awesome with a kitchenette and a living room area. Good sized bedroom and a huge shower. Every was really clean and smelled good. Nice pool area. It’s an older property so it’s not like a Hilton or anything but a lot of character and charm"

"Beds were not comfortable at all. Not enough pillows. Many of the staff didn't speak good English. Spa was closed cause they dont have anyone to work there. Restaurant was good with great service."

"We loved the place. We just wish we could have had a better beach area. Pool area was good. Nice big pool Breakfast was good Rooms were nice, clean and everything worked Staff was great"

"We had a very good stay at the Hawks Cay villa we stayed in. The main pool, lagoon, Sunset Village pool, and fitness center were great. Our first night there, we stopped in Angler & Ale after a long day of travel. The service was SLOW and the food was likely bland Sysco basic options; nothing special. Our villa (Sunset Villas), was ok. The showers had mildewy curtains and translucent shower knobs that allowed for us to see through to lots of mildew. Also, the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash didn't seem to get refilled before us. Mattresses could use replacing. But overall, it was ok. The unit needs more wall hooks; travelers need places to hang towels, toiletry bags, hangers, etc. We were pleasantly surprised to see that laundry was available in our villa, which we didn't know would be the case. 3 detergent packs were provided, which was nice. If staying in the villas, I'd recommend you stop at a grocery store to purchase your own: coffee grounds, dishwasher pods, kitchen sponge, dish soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash/soap. Maybe additional laundry detergent if you plan to do a lot of laundry. All in all, Hawks Cay is a great resort that allowed us to have the best of both the hotel and rental home experiences. "

"Pristine resort, clean beautiful pool areas, unbelievable sunsets."
