Our visit to Hawks Cay was quite a mix of experiences. While the location is remote and surrounded by beautiful water views, the service and room issues definitely left us feeling underwhelmed. The pools were a highlight, making for a fun and relaxing atmosphere. However, dining options could use significant improvement, especially for families. Overall, it seems like a place that could shine but currently misses the mark in several areas.

Our stay at Hawks Cay Resort was a mix of highs and lows. While the villa we had was spacious and modern, the lack of housekeeping and inconsistent service really dampened the experience. The pools were beautiful and enjoyable, especially the adults-only pool, but the dining options left much to be desired, with long wait times and subpar food. Overall, I think the resort needs improvements to match its pricing, especially when it comes to service and dining.
