Hawks Cay Resort - Florida Keys

Macaroni Reviews

September 3, 2015
I am beyond excited to tell you all about my trip to the amazing and beautiful Hawks Cay Resort in the Florida Keys! I was a guest of the resort along with 35 other amazing Macaroni Kid publishers around the country. All opinions in this review are my own. 

We went as a group of moms without our kids, but I was so amazed at how great this resort is for families with kids. I want to tell you about Coral Cay Club. Coral Cay is a wonderful place for the kids to hang out. They have a game room, activity room, kids pool, mini golf course and more. You can sign your kids up for Camp Hawk and have them enrolled in half or full day camp during your stay. This is a great way to get a bit of alone time for mom & dad to go on a fishing or snorkeling adventure.

  
My favorite spot to hang out was in the saltwater lagoon (picture below). This is an amazing area for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding and more. Great beach and ocean feel without big waves crashing to shore. The water was fantastic! We were there in August, but the water was the same temperature as the air. No taking time getting used to the water or going in one step at a time. Jump right in and enjoy! 

  
We had the chance to visit the Dolphin Connection and spend some time with these beautiful creatures. I cannot even begin to tell you how touching this experience was. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience being able to touch the dolphins and learn hand signals to communicate with them. We were able to watch them jump and do tricks. We fed them fish, jello and ice cubes as a reward for showing us their skills and allowing us to rub them. Dolphin Connection also has programs to swim with the dolphins. I highly recommend an encounter with the dolphins while you are at Hawks Cay. The trainers are wonderful and taught us quite a bit in even the short time that we got to visit them. 


Hawks Cay has everything you need during a trip to paradise. They have a beautiful and relaxing spa with many wonderful treatments. You can partake in deep sea fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving, lobstering, fly fishing, kite boarding, parasailing, jetskiing and so much more! They offer many great activities for people of all ages.
