Hawks Cay

Duck Key, Florida Keys

Star rating

The hotel

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. 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.

I have been to Hawks Cay multiple times. It is an excellent place no matter what stage of life you are in. The front desk staff are very helpful and the tiki bar staff are great! I had the pleasure of chatting with the new general manager Bob Lacasse this visit. He is really dedicated to making Hawks Cay a great place and continuing a legacy.

My pickleball experience working with Patrick was great. He honed in on two key fundamentals which I can easily apply to my game. He was very down to earth and great to work with.
