It was very disappointing. Our room was dirty, hair in the tub. Faucet and drain in the shower were broken. 2 pieces of the drain (plus and entire phlange ) were just sitting randomly in the tub. The soap dispenser was broken off the wall and sitting in the tub. Phone didn’t work to call the front desk. Shampoo and conditioner smelled bad. Sink didn’t drain. It really was so gross. The conference area smelled like a nursing home. One of the public toilets overflowed everyday and poured over the whole bathroom floor so you had to walk through a wet floor to use the bathroom at the conference. Overall a very “tired” and dirty facility. Super disappointing. I will say, the food at the tiki bar was consistently good.

Bait and Switch
The hotel claimed that there were 6 restaurants and that they would be open until 10. There were only 2 "restauranrs" at the resort which were just tikki huts that served food. They had one real restaurant "on the property" but you had to take a golf cart, car or walk 15 minutes there. The website claimed the pools were open until 10 but closed at dusk, 5:30. The hotel claimed to have 5 pools but we only found 2. Staff was nice and hotel was clean but so disappointed in the false advertising.

The hotel is a decent property. If you are looking for the most expensive drinks in all of the Florida Keys, look no further than Hawks Cay. Their prices for drinks at their pool bar is laughable. However people travel for different reasons. I like going to local establishments and seeing the area and there are great bars and restaurants not far from the resort. Pros: Great location, an hour either way will take you to the top or bottom of the keys. Hotel staff is really friendly. One of the singers, Molly, sang a special song for my daughter and danced with her. Heated pool is nice, could use some cleaning though. Cons: Prices for drinks, 9 dollars for a bud light is wild. We had cockroaches in our room 3 of our nights. Even saw them in the lobby at night. The hotel making it mandatory for an incidental hold per day when checking in. 200 dollars a day is a bit much when you never plan on eating or drinking on property. Would I go back? Maybe but it would have to be a steal of a deal.

We have stayed at hawks Cay resort a number of times now and once we are there we never want to leave. It is an exceptional resort. We stay as a family in a villa. It’s and exceptional value! You do not need to leave the resort but if you do all the water sports are close by.

So got the room with a view and end up having a view of trees and construction equipment(have pictures).Also had a noisy generator running 24/7 outside our room and had to leave the tv on at night to sleep to drown away the generator noise. Now on to the resort the Pilar bar and main restaurant/bar were closed due to renovation along with the fitness center. If I was notified before my arrival I would have stayed somewhere else. Could have stayed at a condo for a 1/3 of the price. Food at the pool Was good and the pool Staff friendly. When asked to speak with a manager they were not there and asked for a call back before I left this review and have not heard from anyone.

Wish we would have known prior to arriving that most of the onsite restaurants and one bar was closed and under construction. I was expecting luxury from website and referrals, not what i would call luxury. Hallway carpet was dirty and worn. Definite need of some upgrades. Dan Sullivan, guitarist on Thurs night was great, otherwise entertainment on Fri and Sat. Was lacking and not what I had expected. Appeared to be very short staffed with limited, pool service.
