Relaxation, excitement and pure joy – from the moment we arrived!
Hawks Cay Resort was one of the best family friendly vacations we ever took. The staff was most accommodating and our room just spectacular. If you are looking to relax, try the Hawks Cay Lagoon with its beautiful setting, warm water and kayaks. Or lounge under one of the many umbrellas dotting the lagoon and sip a cool drink. For the adults, the Tranquility Pool will help take the edge off while the kids visit the Resort Pool where splashing is allowed. If it’s action you’re looking for, charter an offshore fishing adventure. Charters are available from the resort and leave daily from the marina with some of the best charter fishing captains in the Florida Keys. Our entire family enjoyed The Dolphin Connection where we spent time in the water with the bottlenose dolphin. We learned how to train, give commands and how to safely swim with these gentle creatures. Not to be missed! The many restaurants at the resort offer anything from early morning breakfast to late night dinners with small snacks in between. It wasn’t hard to find what you’re looking for. Don’t forget, the great location of Hawks Cay Resort allows many day trips to the surrounding keys and provides the comfort of home upon your return. We highly recommend Hawks Cay Resort for a family vacation you won’t forget.
Tips for Families
If you fish aboard one of the Hawks Cay Marina charter boats, the captains will clean, fillet and transport your fresh catch to the chef at Tio’s Cantina where you can have it prepared any number of ways – it doesn’t get fresher than that!
