Hawks Cay Resort, Marathon, Florida

Hawks Cay Resort

Large family resort · Multiple pools & waterpark access · On-site marina

Best for families wanting a bigger resort footprint with multiple pools, kid activities and a full-service spa.

Quick Verdict: Three Waters Resort and Marina vs Hawks Cay Resort

When Three Waters Resort and Marina wins: choose Three Waters if you want direct marina access (72 slips), a concentrated Islamorada location, and the option of a 21+ Cove with its own private beach and pool—ideal for boaters, couples and mixed-age groups who want both family spaces and an adults-only enclave.

When Hawks Cay Resort wins: pick Hawks Cay if you want a larger, traditionally family-oriented resort in Marathon with more on-site recreational infrastructure (water park access, multiple bars, an arcade/game room and a full-service spa) and broad programing for kids.

Bottom line: both properties suit families and water-focused travelers, but Three Waters tilts toward marina activity and a smaller-Islamorada footprint with an adults-only slice, while Hawks Cay is a bigger, Marsh-run family resort with more built-in kid amenities and event space.
