Hotel · The Florida Keys, Florida
Hawks Cay Resort
Who it’s NOT for: Couples wanting an intimate, romantic, or adults-only escape — this is a large, lively family resort (choose Little Palm Island or a Key West couples hotel for that). Travelers who want to be IN Key West's Duval-Street walkable scene — Duck Key is a ~1-hour drive from Key West; this is a self-contained island resort, not a downtown base. Budget travelers — a full-amenity island resort with villas runs high, especially in winter high season.
Best room: a two-/three-bedroom villa with a full kitchen for a multigen group — space, laundry, room to gather, and easy access to the pools/lagoon. Exact villa categories NOT verified — confirm on the official site before naming one.
