Book 2 Star Hotels in Grassy Key

"We had a fantastic stay at Hawks Cay, made even better by an unexpected upgrade to a villa. While the staff couldn't pinpoint exactly why the upgrade happened, it turned out to be the highlight of our trip. * The Villa Experience: Initially, I was concerned that staying in a villa would feel too disconnected from the main lagoon area. However, those worries disappeared the moment we arrived. Our unit was beachfront, offering incredible views and private wildlife sightings—we actually saw a ray jump and dolphins swimming by right behind our place. The villa itself was spotless and very well-maintained. * Amenities and Location: The resort’s location on Duck Key is perfect for exploring. It serves as an ideal middle ground, putting most major stops throughout the Middle and Lower Keys within a 30-minute drive. On-site, the lobby staff were incredibly welcoming, and the main resort amenities are top-notch. * Dining: The food options on-site were above average in quality. While the prices are a bit steep for what they are—as is typical for a resort—the convenience and flavor made it worth it for a few meals. * The One Downside: My only real complaint is the operating hours for the pools and hot tubs. They have a strict dusk closure policy (around 7:00 PM), which applies even to the 21 plus adult areas. Closing that early feels like a missed opportunity, as it cuts off the most relaxing and romantic part of the eve"

"This place is a find. It is adorable inside the rooms. Super clean, modern and the view was nice of the beach. We had a one bedroom ocean. The staff was friendly and the front desk lady and the maintenance gentleman went out of their way for you. The cook, Frieda at the restaurant even helped with giving us spices and salt since we were cooking on the grill and did not have any. The free breakfast was very good. Pulling up though we will note we were a bit worried because the outside was a bit in need of some upgrading. The blinds were broken off in the doors of some of the rooms because you can tell they are not commercial and not holding up well. We were very concerned and wondered if we made a good choice. Please do something with them. The pool was nice and the area clean. The beach area was clean. The bathroom though near the pool was old and disgusting and we were shocked that was offered to the guests and people who dined at the restaurant. It would not take much to fix that up to make it look decent."

"We liked everything about it and would recommend it to anyone."
