My room was clean, comfortable, and quiet, which I appreciated after long days (and nights) out. The staff was kind and welcoming, and the overall atmosphere is peaceful.

My room was clean, comfortable, and quiet, which I appreciated after long days (and nights) out. The staff was kind and welcoming, and the overall atmosphere is peaceful. That said, I was surprised to find there was no microwave in the room. During Carnival, your schedule is unpredictable—you might come back from J’Ouvert or a fete at odd hours, hungry for something quick—and without a way to reheat leftovers or make a quick snack, it’s not ideal. Food service also has a strict cutoff time. There’s no à la carte menu, so you’re limited to buffet-style dining during set hours. If you miss that window, your options are pretty much nonexistent unless you venture off property. During my stay, the buffet selection was fine, but variety felt limited compared to other resorts I’ve visited. I’d still recommend Hawksbill for the scenery, peace, and warm hospitality, but if you’re visiting during Carnival, plan ahead for meals and snacks. Bring non-perishable food, or be ready to explore local spots when the buffet isn’t running. With a little preparation, you can fully enjoy both the serenity of Hawksbill and the excitement of Carnival. Read less

I absolutely loved my holiday at the Hawksbill Hotel. The place itself is so beautiful and unique! I love that, although I went during carnival time, it was quiet—just as I wanted. I have to say that I found Antigua very expensive, so I was glad to have an all-inclusive board, which saved me both time and money. I travelled with my teenage daughter and felt very safe there. All the staff were absolutely amazing—so nice and friendly. If I had more money, I would go back every year. However, I’m very grateful that I was able to spend 11 nights there without a single moment of regret. Read less

Wow is an understatement for this beautiful paradise. This is certainly a great location for a relaxed and comfortable vacation. Friendly people, great food and drinks, nice entertainment, complimentary airport transfers once booked directly with hotel, warm welcome and beautiful beaches. You won't regret this investment in you mental well being.

The resort is beautiful and tropical. Upon check in, there are no carts or golf carts to transport luggage to your room. The porter assists you with rolling luggage to the room, and since my room was furthest away on the property, it was quite a walk. There was no water provided to me unless I requested and even upon request, it took an entire day… Read more
The resort is beautiful and tropical. Upon check in, there are no carts or golf carts to transport luggage to your room. The porter assists you with rolling luggage to the room, and since my room was furthest away on the property, it was quite a walk. There was no water provided to me unless I requested and even upon request, it took an entire day to receive water bottles. The staff at Hawksbill prioritize their work over hospitality. There was lack of privacy. The bathroom window in my beachfront room had no curtains so when showering, people would pass by and notice that I was in the shower. Also, staff would disregard the do not disturb sign and still enter the room. If walking is a passion, this resort is definitely the place to be. The restaurant offers mid food service. The beach and WiFi were the only highlights for me. It was an experience that I would not like to revisit. Read less
