    My tennis instructor was Hannah, I believe she was from the the UK. Great smile, energetic and brought excitement back into my tennis game!!!! Would highly recommend her to any one of my friends that may visit in the future!

  • AG

    We love Coming back to see Hannah every year! She’s our favorite and our kids live her!

  • LB

    Hannah and Elliot were awesome. Loved their energy, and the great tennis tips they provided; excellent takeaways to help improve game. I would definitely love to spend time with them again!

  • EB

  • GY

    This was our fourth trip to Hawk’s Cay. It’s the perfect mix of a great resort and great tennis. Hannah and Elliot were great. They mix in great instruction with encouragement and fun. We have already booked our next trip.

  • JS

    We’ve just left Hawks Cay for a tennis getaway and have already booked our return visit. Hannah and Elliott have a magical touch. Regardless of the number of people in the drill I walk away feeling like I’ve gotten very personal attention with reinforcement of what I’ve worked on in private lessons. My husband and I each have a different learning style and Hannah does a phenomenal job of adapting to each of us. They keep it tremendously fun as well!

  • JF

    The tennis program run by Hannah Thompson was excellent and her instruction was superb. She made it fun but also a great learning experience for the three of us. I highly recommend the tennis program. The resort was very nice, friendly and easy to navigate and in a beautiful setting. I would recommend the resort but especially the tennis program to all of my friends.

    From Jan 3- – Feb 1, 2020, I enjoyed a top notch 3 days of tennis instruction, with 2 other friends — we were a private group, booked thru Cliff Drysdale (Katie Steck). Hannah Thompson was our instructor and is the Hawks Cay Tennis Director. It doesn’t get any better than this. Professional; knowledgeable; individual instruction for your swing, strategy and all aspects of tennis. I have gone on tennis trips to The Colony and the LBK Tennis Club on Long Boat Key and at Club Med, Port St Lucie. Hawks Cay was just as good if not better, because of the more individualized instruction. Highly recommend this resort to anyone who wants to play tennis. Plenty of soft and hard courts. If you’re a 3.5 player or above, I’d recommend arranging your own group (minimum 3 required with Cliff Drysdale), and schedule your trip, making sure you get Hannah Thompson as your Pro.

  • RT

    Hana and Elliott were fabulous!!! Our guest instructors Ed and Austin were great fun!! Everyone was very high Energy. I can’t wait to go back for more lessons

  • CT

    Hannah and Elliot are as good as it gets. I’ve worked with many tennis pros and tennis clubs. Great experience.

  • SB

    Tennis retreat for 24 ladies… Hannah, Elliot and the staff on and off the tennis courts were exceptional. All 24 of our ladies shared high praise for the tennis pros, our tennis clinics and match play. We were a diverse group of ladies with varying degrees of tennis experience. We all enjoyed our lodging very much and appreciated the beauty and relaxing atmosphere that surrounded us. We dined on property at Angler & Ale. The food was delicious and the service by Keisha was outstanding. We are already planning our next trip! Thank you, Cliff Drysdale Tennis @ Hawks Cay Resort for a wonderful five star experience. We will be back!!!!

  • BS

    Our family recently enjoyed doubles clinic sessions led by Tennis Director Hannah Thompson and Pro Elliott Manton — the drills were great and the strategy games were a lot of fun. Recommended!

  • AP

    The Cliff Drysdale Tennis program at Hawk’s Cay in Florida was fantastic. Hannah Thompson, the lead pro, runs a great clinic and provides excellent instruction. The program was well-organized and it was always fun and challenging. My family had a great time and can’t wait to return.

  • BM

    Hanna the tennis instructor was excellent, great personality and kept a fun good pace.

  • JH

    I booked private lessons in advance via email and Hannah Thompson, the local tennis coach, was very professional and friendly and took care of my requests. Hannah is a great coach, professional, highly motivating, cheerful and always positive. its exactly what i need and want! I can recommend Hannah fully and will try to come back. Had so much fun.

  • MM

    I had a phenomenal experience with the tennis pro Elliot. Instruction was great, good tips on strategy and even suggestions on equipment. Overall, an amazing experience. Can’t wait to go back.

  • RS

    The tennis camps at Hawks Cay Resort are fantastic!!

  • DH

    Hannah and Eliot are fabulous teachers and lovely people. The hardest thing is…..leaving!

  • KC

    This is the first time me and my sister travelled for a tennis camp. The resort was so beautiful and the tennis camp ran by Hannah was so much fun! We learnt a lot in only two days of tennis!

  • JM

    Fantastic! Hannah is an outstanding teacher. She had great advice and small changes that made a dramatic difference.

  • CW

    One of the best tennis camps and pros I have experienced in my many years of playing

  • NC

    Hannah does a super job ! Clinics are offered every morning and are always different every day so you are able to work on all parts of your game. Elliott is her assistant and also does a great job! Hawks Cay is a great place to play tennis in the Keys and its all because of the staff!

    I had a great stay at Hawks Cay earlier this year. I went with a few friends to enjoy the beautiful views and play tennis with Hannah. She worked with me to help plan a trip for exactly what we were wanting, and the clinics were so much fun! The setting at Hawks Cay is so unique for a tennis vacation and we cannot wait to go back.

  • SK

    Great Tennis Pros!

  • CP

    Great pros and a great program. Made my vacation, and played every day. Definitely recommended for all levels.

  • SI

    My son and I returned recently from Hawk’s Cay Resort having gone there specifically for the Cliff Drysdale Tennis program. We were extremely pleased with our experience. Hannah and her team are exceptional professionals. We had a great time working on our skills in both the group drill sessions with Hannah and Elliot and during our customized private lessons. Both of us took away at least one new thing that has been additive to our game back in Chicago. The service and hospitality of the group here is exceptional and I would encourage everyone to check it out! Shank I.

  • VC

    Very energetic team of young pros who go out of their way to make things as fun as possible. Lovely setting, though we had some really windy weather.

  • AD

    This was our third visit to the Cliff Drysdale Tennis Center at the Hawks Cay Resort. The instruction has always been fabulous. The drills are well run despite the fact there can be 2 attending one day and 10 the next. The staff knows how to deal with varying numbers and skill levels. The package deal of 2 one hour drills along with a one hour private for $110 is a bargain. Only thing I can think of as a downside is that there might be a way to play a pickup game here or there. Honestly, maybe there was, but we never asked. On the other hand, I liked getting my tennis instruction all in one shot in the morning and the rest of the day to enjoys the keys. We always attend in early December and have heard that it gets much busier over the holidays. We hope to return next season!

  • FM

    We have visited this resort for several years – except for last year because of hurricane damage. We visit the first two weeks in December. Clay courts are in great shape. Temperatures are pretty reasonable. The director, Hannah Thompson, runs excellent doubles oriented drills and also gives great one on one instructions at a very reasonable price.

  • AR

    I have already told some friends how amazing our experience was and that they should go as well. Hoping to go back next year with some of them.

  • SW

    Hannah is absolutely tremendous with her tennis instruction. We travel to Hawk’s Cay just for her.

  • PB

    Our tennis experience at Hawks Kay was very instructional and fun! Hannah was great! We have been coming for 3-4 years and the Cliff Drysdale tennis is always top notch! Cannot wait to come back!

  • JC

    Hannah is very accommodating & friendly yet professional. She conducts an active clinic geared to your level. I highly recommend clinic or private lessons with Hannah to improve your game.

  • MB

    I have taken many lessons through the years with many pros and am very impressed with both Hannah’s skill and professionalism as well as her enthusiasm and ability to instruct. I will return as often as possible!

  • KM

    Great time with Hannah, she is friendly and fun. Looking forward to returning. They are making good progress on improvements after the hurricane in 2017.

  • CO

    I have traveled all around and attended many tennis camps, and Hawk’s Cay is by far my favorite. I attended a camp along with a few friends and our instructor Hannah Thompson was remarkable. She was very knowledgeable, funny, and by far the best instructor I have ever received lessons from. I will be recommending her to friends. I stayed 4 nights at Hawk’s Cay and the resort is beautiful. The staff and service is amazing all around. This trip was great and I will definitely be returning for more tennis.

  • SR

    I have been a member there for two years and really look forward to playing on the clay courts. Our Tuesday clinics were Always the best and we all looked forward to playing. Can’t wait until the clay courts are back up and running. Hanna was the best!

  • R&

    My husband and I had a fantastic time participating in the tennis activities at Hawks Cay. Elliott was our pro and he was fantastic! He gave us great pointers to improve our game and certainly gave us a wonderful workout. It was a slow time of year which is how we prefer it. The courts, which were well-maintained, were always available for us to play. We would definitely love to come back!

  • JM

    If you are looking for a tennis camp getaway, look no further. Hannah and her staff run a topnotch training. She has a wonderful combination of teaching wisdom but with youthful fitness and energy which allows her to engage and interact in the tennis play. She worked us for three two hour sessions and put more energy out there than anyone else on the court. We learned alot and are now ready for USTA 4.5 season! Thank you Hannah!!!

  • GH

    The tennis facilities were nothing out of the ordinary for what you would expect from a tennis camp located in the florida keys however the hawks cay resort as a vacation spot was very nice. Both hard courts and clay courts were available. What did make this an exceptional experience was the staff. Hannah Thompson was our pro instructor . We were a group of 6 students and even prior to us arriving at the camp she was extremely informative and easy to work with in planning our itinerary and pricing. For the most part our lessons were coordinating the group of six and i cannot comment on private lessons. In the group setting she and her assistant were well organized with a specific plan and topics to cover each of the 3 days. This resulted in a very efficient format with what seemed to be the right combination of instruction and practice. There was also enough time to ask questions for each of the individuals in our group. She and her assistant were very friendly and made our experience with them quite personal. Finally after we had departed the resort, hannah did provide a clinic sheet reviewing the topics we covered and all their helpful tips in improving our tennis game. Speaking for myself i have already seen a marked improvement in my game. I would strongly recommend this camp to my friends

  • EE

    I came to this resort after having had a super time at another Cliff Drysdale-run property at Amelia Island so I had high hopes. I think this resort has lots of potential; unfortunately I attended during a slow time and there weren’t many players in attendance. However the staff was helpful in trying to arrange a game for my husband and I and kept the drills competitive enough for us when there were some lower level players that did join in. There were many courts on site and most were well maintained. They need to repair the restroom in the pro shop which I understand has been out of order for quite a while. I will wait to return when more structured programs (i.e., Ladies Retreat, Doubles Boot Camp) are available. As for resort, this is very family friendly so not for the solo traveler unless you’re going for a tennis program.

  • DM

    Great getaway and tennis vacation at Hawk’s Cay Resort. Hannah is a superb pro who ties the whole experience together with a purpose – from individual skills, to strategy drills using the skills you work on, to game experiences that put the skills to work. Great interaction with local players made the tennis fun, too. Hoping to be back again soon!

  • DM

    Great tennis instruction, close attention to improvements I needed to make, great mix of drill and mock games always with a clear purpose for the day – very well structured and instructed, wonderful courts, great mix with local players who made me very welcome, very much hoping to return here. Thank you!

  • KI

    Just got back from an amazing tennis weekend at Hawk’s Cay Resort with 16 girlfriends. Hannah and her staff were amazing. We got some good pointers and had a lot of fun! We will be back!

  • SS

    Just returned from a great tennis camp at Hawks Cay in the Florida Keys. the head pro, Hannah was superb. A great coach, a great player, and full of energy. We did several private sessions with her which were great. Learned a lot and had a great time. Hawks Cay is a superb place with much to offer.

  • LT

    There are no weaknesses only strengths. We have been playing tennis for years and we are so happy that we had found Hannah here in the Keys. This truly had made our stay so much fun. She is an excellent teacher and there are no words for her personality but GREAT. We cannot wait till next winter when we can come back to do drills everyday.

  • DF

    Hannah was great. She was knowledgeable patient and we had a blast!
