At Hawks Cay Resort, guests can choose from several guest room and villa options. Within each, classic Caribbean décor and design fill the space. Rooms and villas are relaxing, comfortable, have complimentary internet access, and offer beautiful views just outside their windows. Hawks Cay Resort also offers penthouse suites and specialty villas for guests who prefer more spacious and luxurious accommodations.
Depending on what part of the island you stay on, you could be looking out onto the harbor, the marina, or a clear view of the setting sun. On the resort property, there are a number of villages to choose from. These include Harbor Village, Marina Village, Sanctuary Village, and Sunset Village. Each one provides special and memorable views from that part of the island.
If you foresee yourself spending a lot of time fishing, at the boardwalk, and meandering around the quiet canals, then book a room in Harbor Village. This village is but a short walk from the main resort's amenities and activities. Another option for fishermen is the Marina Village. Here, guests can watch as fishing boats set off on voyages and return with a catch. At the marina, there is also a quaint water-front promenade for guests to wander about in.
The villas within Sanctuary Village are the perfect pick for travelers seeking refuge. Within this tucked away village there is a secluded garden area, a private pool, and more. Travelers in need of recharge can relish in the silent space provided at Sanctuary Village. Finally, the Sunset Village provides – can you guess? – unmatched views of the sunset. Watch blue skies turn into burnt orange and creamy pink as the sun descends upon the Pacific.
