There are also two and three bedroom villas, most have decks with water views and full kitchens which are ideal for families and groups. The 177 rooms, most of them with balconies overlooking the ocean have easy access to the pool and to the saltwater lagoon. My son and I participating in the dockside Dolphins program at Hawks Cay. It was the first time my husband swam with dolphins and both him and my daughter where so excited and could not stop talking about the experience. My daughter and my husband participated in the Dolphin Discovery program while my son and I did the Dockside Dolphins program where we had fun getting dolphin handshakes and also getting soaked by the dolphins. My daughter swimming with dolphins at Hawks Cay. Many people come to Hawks Cay attracted by their dream to connect with the dolphins in a personal way. I swam with dolphins for the first time as a teen while vacationing with my family to Cancun and to this day that is one of my most cherished memories. Swimming with dolphins is one of those experiences that can literally change your life. This means that you get the opportunity to participate in various programs where you can interact with these wonderful creatures. Hawks Cay has it’s own dolphin facility right on site. Just me and the dolphins enjoying a breathtaking sunrise at Hawks Cay. It was truly a magical moment that I will never forget. There was no one around, and no sound except the sound of the ocean and of the dolphins quietly playing. They would scoop up a mouthful of water, throw the water up in the air and catch it again in their mouths. One our first morning there I got up just before the break of dawn and headed to the the salt water fed lagoon where the dolphins are and I got to enjoy a breathtaking show: while the sky turned all shades of orange and pink the dolphins started waking up and playing. If you are a morning person, like me, Hawks Cay’s location provides you with the opportunity to watch some of the most beautiful sunrises I have ever seen.

While the kids where enjoying their sea adventures in the safety of the lagoon I got the chance to relax and even get some summer reading done under the shade of an umbrella on the sandy shore of the lagoon. One of our favorite areas in the resort was the salt water lagoon, where the kids could swim or scuba, yes the lagoon has fish, or you could even rent a kayak.

After getting soaked we played a fun game on the mini golf course while a curious iguana watched with interest, which combined with the fun pirate theme on the course turned into what my little guy declared as the best mini golf course ever.

The kid’s area has a colorful pirate ship themed splash area where my kids spend countless hours shooting water at each other with the water cannons. There is no doubt that this beautiful 60 acre resort has everything a family could wish for when looking for a tropical vacation getaway: large pools, a private beach around a saltwater lagoon, a kid’s area, mini golf and so much more. Maybe it was the dolphins or the breathtaking sunsets or maybe it has nothing to do with the beauty of the place and the countless fun activities but more to do with the fantastic memories I made there with my family. There are many beach resorts out there but I just found Hawks Cay to be magical. Located in Duck Key in the Florida Keys Hawks Cay Resort is my idea of paradise: I could just pack my bags and move there right now.
