Tucked away on the small secluded island of Duck Key, this is your private slice of paradise. Think swaying palms, saltwater lagoons, and five glistening pools, perfectly paired with laid-back island vibes and upscale comforts. The hotel's commitment to the environment is as strong as ever - with a dolphin connection programme, so you can learn all about your stunning marine surrounds before you explore them in person. Relax in the spa or at the adult-only Oasis Cay if it's just the two of you. Or if you're with all the brood, they can let loose in the pirate ship pool. The hotel offers options right up to waterfront villas, so whoever you're travelling with, there's something for everyone. And from sunrise yoga to sunset cocktails, all your Florida Keys wishes can be met.

The resort is very pretty and the staff is nice, however; when we arrived, we were charged for a random $298 and $483 without explanation. The drinks are $20+ each, if you want a kids chicken tenders from the tiki bar, there is another $22. A cup of fruit at the cafe is $22. SELF parking is $25 per day… to park your own car! Resort fee is $55…

Resort fee is $55 per day plus taxes. The whole thing is a scam. Very pretty but highway robbery, not worth all the charges, would not stay again.

As I said above all the other experiences we had were great i felt it was a big safety hazard with the elevator problem

The rooms were very clean and the amenities were great
The safety was not good, only 1 functioning elevator, the other elevator has been broken over a week, with men working on it the entire 4 days of our stay.
The only working elevator kept getting stuck and trapping people in and it sounded loud like it was ready to fall or stop. You can tell…

The only working elevator kept getting stuck and trapping people in and it sounded loud like it was ready to fall or stop. You can tell definitely something was wrong.
For the amount you pay for this resort this is unacceptable and unsafe. This should be the resort’s first priority. It was reported to the management and his attitude was it’s still working so nothing we can do about it now.

Jacob and Mehmet are amazing! Excellent drinks and great hospitality. Educated us on the origin of the Rum Runner drink and made us it the “traditional” way. Highly recommend!
Fun, relaxing

We’ve been coming to hawks cay every year for the last 4 years and it’s been a great experience every time. From the moment we got here we enjoyed the amenities, and resort staff were wonderful.
