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.

Overall, I think the resort needs improvements to match its pricing, especially when it comes to service and dining.
