I'm not much for fancy resorts and crowded places. This place was perfect! If you want a beautiful place to sit back, relax, enjoy beautiful surroundings, Hawksbill is the place! The resort is well manicured. It had been really dry before we arrived, so some grass was a little brown, some plants a little wilted, but you can tell the landscaping would be beautiful and lush with proper rain. The resort is a little spread out, but its nice to walk the paths and get a little fresh air when moving from one area to another. There are some stairs and inclines so if you have mobility problems, that may a slight downside. The food was good and there were plenty of options. 3 different restaurants with varying open times means there is always somewhere to eat. PDs requires reservation for lunch, Seagrapes requires reservations for dinner, and Tamarind is open seating for all meals. We never had a problem making reservations, always an open slot. The drinks are really good. Definitely stronger than any other resorts I've been to. They do have beach and pool service, although a little slow, we found it adequate for our wants. The staff are amazing. Every single person we encountered was friendly, courteous, and helpful. From reception, cleaning crew, grounds crew, wait staff, bar tenders, water sports guys, guest services, management, everyone was so pleasant. This resort is definitely worth the visit if you want a laid back, peaceful, personal type of resort. The 9 days we spent there were some of the best vacation days I've had. The demographic was definitely skewed on the older side, but that could just be the time we were there. Since I'm on the older, I didn't mind. Young friends, young couples, and newlyweds were enjoying the resort, but definitely the minority. There is good wifi throughout the resort, but I only saw one TV which was at the Seagrapes bar. That was fine by me since I was there to enjoy the ocean, not catch up on screen time. I would give this resort a 10/10. Not because its the fanciest, most up to date, has the greatest cuisine, best activities, world class entertainment, but because its such a friendly, relaxing, beautiful location, cozy resort. Thats what I look for in a vacation

Paradise. Resort was stunning. Beach front bungalow was perfect. Staff were so friendly and professional. Food and drinks were excellent.

Our second stay at Hawksbill and, again, we’ve loved it. It’s at the end of a small road in a private sandy cove, about 25 minutes from the airport. Once you’re past reception, there are no cars. The whole resort feels like a private island, with different accommodation types scattered around the cove, consisting of private beaches, all free from hawkers. The sea seems perpetually clam with waves lapping at the sandy beach along with a gentle breeze. The resort is west facing, so gets the sun all day long, with some spectacular sunsets and, on the smaller of the beaches, the occasional family of pigs out for a morning dip. There’re 3 bar/restaurants serving local and ‘international’ food, all of it well presented and of great quality. There‘s live entertainment each night in the main restaurant, which, for the week we stayed, included a DJ, steel band, piano & saxophonist amongst other acts. We stayed in a Royal Palm Beach King Room which is reminiscent of the Maldives: on the beach facing west, opening onto a covered private terrace with table and two chairs, then a step down to the beach with your own cabana and two loungers exclusive to that room. After that it’s palm lined sandy beach and few more steps into the sea. Some of these rooms have trees outside where you can pull your loungers forward to sit on the beach under the shade of the tree. The barman did regular rounds taking orders and delivering drinks directly to our loungers. I haven’t seen the other room types but, apart from the entry level rooms that lack any outdoor space, they all seem to be well located and well equipped with similar facilities. Wifi is fast and free in the bedrooms and throughout the whole resort. If you book direct rather than through an agent, your minibar is stocked afresh each day, where you can choose soft drinks, beers, gin, rum, mixers etc., as part of your package. Booking direct also gives you a free return airport taxi transfer. Like any good hotel, the staff really make a difference and are the icing on the cake. A genuine warm Caribbean welcome from the moment you arrive, which continues throughout your whole stay. In the restaurants, your glass will never be empty. I’m unsure of the tipping culture, but we brought some US dollars from the UK, which seemed to be appreciated. If you’re reading this and ready to book, I can’t see how you can be disappointed in any way by choosing Hawksbill.

If you’re looking for a resort that is pocket friendly look no further, Hawksbill Resort offers everything from private beaches, edge pool, live entertainment, daily breakfast, lunch & dinner, water activities, boat tours/ island tours and much more. Most importantly it’s all inclusive so you definitely get your money’s worth. Let me not forget to mention the staff at the resort & at the beach were very pleasant & well trained for their job. I will definitely be returning on my next trip to Antigua 🇦🇬
