Hawks Cay Christmas
Hawks Cay
Christmas runs from Nov. 29 through Dec. 25, 2015. The program puts a
Florida Keys twist on seasonal activities. Think Santa by the pool or on
a Jet Ski rather than in a sleigh.

Cay Christmas package receive discounted rates on accommodations ranging
from guestrooms to two- and three-bedroom villas, as well as special
savings on resort activities.

Mrs. Claus, writing letters to Santa, creating family holiday cards and
meeting Santa, who is known to hang out at the resort on vacation before
he prepares for the big day.
