Staff is very pleasant, room was very clean. The water in the main pool was totally cloudy, the food sold at the tiki bar is not really good. The salt water lagoon was not as nice as pictured, a few minutes after entering the water my legs started burning, and in the morning some guests allowed their pets to play in the water, I didn’t find that very appropriate. The breakfast at the cafe was delicious, very pricy breakfast but worth it! The Salt and ash michellin chef restaurant is spectacular but only opens for dinner so u have no other option but to eat at the tiki bar and the lunch is not so great. Overall its a very chill weekend, but I feel like its a one time thing, where I got to know the resort but don’t find it worth returning. We didn’t really find any other nice restaurants in the area. I would still recommend ppl to have their own experience and if you enjoy just chilling in the pool you will enjoy this resort.

It did not live up to our expectations. Most of the staff was friendly, but the bar staff was not. We got to our villa and there were no dish towels, no dish soap or dishwasher detergent. The shampoo and conditioner bottle bottles were empty. There were minimal supplies in the kitchen. Just not what I expected from a resort like this. The drinks were ehh and way overpriced. We will come back to the area, but won’t spend the money to stay here again.

Our stay was pretty good. One of the elevators was out of service for the whole week. Check in was a bit confusing. We had to wait for a phone call to say our room ready, the call was never received. Being a resort property, I would expect the staff to be more helpful, friendly, share the moment with your guests. The property was very well maintained and clean.

Day was great. The service was terrible. Took forever to check in. He tried to charge me extra nowhere to get food after 9 o’clock, took an hour to get a sandwich in the morning and the sandwich was stale and hard and cost $50

Not the Experience I paid for

I booked and prepaid weeks in advance for what was supposed to be a surprise birthday celebration, expecting a smooth and memorable stay. Unfortunately, the experience was incredibly disappointing from start to finish. To begin with, none of the birthday in room experiences purchased in advance were completed. Manager stated that they don’t deliver in room experiences until after check in which is completely opposite of what I was told multiple times when purchasing over the phone. On top of that, the room wristbands didn’t work—not once, but twice—forcing me to waste time going up and down from the room to the front desk to get them fixed. A small issue, but when you’re on vacation trying to relax, it adds unnecessary frustration. The room had multiple roaches—completely unacceptable for a resort of this supposed caliber. Cleanliness clearly isn’t a priority. This was supposed to be a special getaway, and instead, it was a series of letdowns. I expected much better from a resort with Hawks Cay’s reputation. Will not be returning.

We felt they let non guests in around the pool. They arrive before security was checking wrist bands. We were approached by a group around the pool and harassed. When we addressed this to the front desk we were told no way was anyone let in because security checks wrist bands. But security doesn’t start checking until afternoon so they come in the morning. We witnessed this two days in a row.

Celebrated Mother’s Day here! The property location is beautiful. We had a room overlooking the water and it was nice, but it needs some updates like the bathroom. The outside bartenders by main pool were not friendly at all except one guy. It was very odd. Overall, great trip and I would travel here again.
