Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
Room was good and resort itself was decent. Scored low because we ONLY booked there bc of family friendliness, kid pools and activities. There was ZERO indication, despite a bunch of online research and calls to the property, that the kid pool area was under construction and not usable at all. Also, we signed up to bring the kids to an art class. Paid the extra money and were then told that we had to stay there with the kids. Feel bad for the staff bc they are obviously frsutrated having to deal with guests that feel hoodwinked. Anyway...bottom line...do NOT visit w kids if you are planning on using the kid facilities without 100% confiming that they are done w construction and its open. Hawks Cay - do better by being transparent.

The condition of the rooms, ie; air conditioning, humidity and heat where an ongoing issue, so much so the floors where wet everyday. The housekeeping staff was less than adequate. However on the upside Salt and Ash and Angler and Ale were great! I special shout out to the resturant staff, Johnny, Hendry and all the manangement were wonderful and selectively I would give 10 stars to each member!

Zero food if you don’t have reservations. They will tell you to go to the angler restaurant which is a little walk and then you will wait for your food like everyone else for 2hours plus. The hotel was nice for 2-3 days only we ended up cutting our trip short and going to key west because the hotel and food was an issue.

Unacceptable room conditions and deceptive service ​Our stay at Hawks Cay was a series of disappointments. Upon check-in, we found black mold near the AC vent and a heavy mold smell. It took 4 hours to be relocated. On day 3, our toilet flooded, and the hot water vanished—leaving my son shivering in the shower after only one minute of lukewarm water. ​While maintenance fixed it once, the hot water failed again for the final two days. To top it off, checkout was a disaster. We were promised credits for resort and parking fees if we showed our Amex booking, but the staff member who made the promise disappeared. The replacement staff member denied the policy existed and was dismissive when I tried to show proof. No apology, no credit, and zero accountability. Very disappointing for a "resort" experience.

The mattresses were horribly uncomfortable and the ceiling fans all made clanking sounds. The heated main pool was fantastic. The views were pretty nice. The food was good but expensive, the coconut ice cream at Angler and Ale that is used for the banana split was the highlight of our trip! The lagoon was absolutely nothing special at all, felt like being near a pond. Overall it was pleasant but not worth the drive.

Overall a great stay. Very nice and clean condo with its own small pool. The property is beautiful and we enjoyed the tennis and pickleball facilities. Only areas for improvement were the initial delay in room being available from housekeeping and need for more service staff around the pool area.

They are under new management; while the staff was very nice they were completely understaffed. Had to clear our own table; waited for drinks; front desk was understaffed; couldn’t get ahold of ai phone number they give you to get what was needed; most staff didn’t understand English to be able to ask for what you needed. Their computer system also combined our two reservations and we were luck to get the last room.

We stayed here as a last minute option after our airbnb was a scam. The shower was broken, the toilet barley flushed and the water ran all the time. There was always a line at least 8 people long at the front desk. When they cleaned the room they took all our towels and didn't leave us any so we had to go get them each time. Will not come back and would not recommend to anyone.
