The resort has several large pools, each with a different theme. The kids played on the "pirate ship" with slides and water cannons. The quite adult pool gave the grown ups a break with poolside beverage service. The saltwater lagoon and the large family pool were big hits.
The resort offers extensive activities that will fill your vacation with adventure and luxury. We enjoyed kayaks for touring around the island. The Scuba Center offered first rate service to a variety of interesting dive sites. Many in our group also enjoyed parasailing and many other activities.
My wife and I enjoyed the tennis courts, which are very well maintained. We were able to walk onto a court whenever we wanted with no additional charges. The kids were happy at the pool while we enjoyed ourselves on the nearby courts.
We signed up for the meal plan that included free breakfast every morning. The extensive buffet satisfied the kids with French toast and pancakes, the hearty eaters with eggs Benedict and the standard breakfast fare, and the selection of fresh fruits and healthy foods kept the diet conscious happy too. I would, however, suggest eating lunch and dinner elsewhere.
The one downside of the resort was the cost. Plan on spending 40% of your room rate per day for expenses on the resort for diving, parasailing, and other activities. If you do not plan for this expense, you will miss out on a lot of the fun. The price tag definitely opened our eyes, but we did feel that we received reasonable value for the money we spent.
In short, the Hawk’s Cay Resort provided a top notch family vacation for a top notch price.
