Thank you Nikki !!! :-) June 22, 2011
Hi Kim, Thank you so much for the opportunity to stay at Hawks Cay this weekend and experience your newly renovated resort and your food & beverage outlets. I hadn’t seen the resort prior to the renovation but I met with Joni and she explained the transformation. The resort has so much to offer. It’s great to have something for everyone…the watersports, fishing, paddleboarding, dolphin swimming, helicopter and sea plane…I don’t think I’ve seen so much in one place before. Our room was beautiful, (especially the bathroom). The food in Alma was outstanding! The Terrace breakfast buffet was excellent and the atmosphere is lovely. The adult pool is very smart - we enjoyed that since we were able to leave our kids w/ their grandparents. It was quiet, and the cabanas were a wonderful break from the hot sun. We enjoyed the weekend very much and I’m happy to have had the opportunity to finally see it all in person!
Thank you for your hospitality! I will talk to my client about 2013 and will keep you in mind for all groups that will consider the Keys.
Warm regards,
Nikki

That I teach Sunday School to TWO YEAR OLDS! They are very sweet and some weeks absolutely have me and my co-teacher in stitches.

Florida Keys Conference Center? YES!!!! Hawks Cay Island Resort & Marina May 6, 2011
I talk to so many potential clients each week and over the years it has been interesting to learn that there is a perception out there that all Keys hotels are quaint and have little or no meeting space. Well my friends...I am here to set the record straight! - Hawks Cay offers over 20,000 sq. ft. of flexible event space divisible into 10 total meeting rooms right here in the HEART of the Florida Keys:-) Our average meeting size is 100+ attendees! and my personal average meeting size is around the 175 mark! So we're not just for the Board or Committe meeting - BRING ON THE ANNUAL too:-) See you soon.............
The ONLY Oceanfront Conference Center in the Florida Keys!! April 26, 2011
