I had high expectations for this resort which were dashed when our room lost power on the 2nd day of a 7 day stay. We reported the power issue at around noon but received no communication from management until I went to the front desk again later that evening. The phone in our room did not work and there was no apparent plan to communicate with guests who had been impacted by the electrical issue. By about 10:30 pm they moved those of us who complained to other rooms for the night then we returned to our original room in the morning. By the following afternoon, the power fitfully returned to our room. However, there was a block of rooms that did not have power restored for 4 days. After the power outage, the Wi-fi and phone didn't work in our room for the remainder of our stay. Later, a plumbing issue occurred when the toilet was flushed, raw sewage came up through the shower. Management did have the issue resolved quickly and had the shower cleaned but in combination with all the previous issues, it was quite annoying. On the positive side, the staff is amazing. Fenton in water sports helped my daughter when she fell and injured her knee and many of the waitstaff and bartenders were great! The landscaping crew does a fabulous job and the views are beautiful! I did not expect the abundance of pigs, goats, and ducks on the property, but they made things interesting. I do not plan to visit this resort again unless they update their infrastructure and improve guest communications. Read less

The resort is a solid three stars. My wife who is less critical would say it was close to 4. We were very fortunate to have a unit where there were no power issue.

The resort is a solid three stars. My wife who is less critical would say it was close to 4. We were very fortunate to have a unit where there were no power issue. Other guests who lost power elected to be moved to another resort for a night. Some people lost power for 6 to 8 hours on multiple occasions during their stay. This is second hand and was fortunate we did not have this problem. BEACHES - the beaches are nice, a little rocky other than Sea Grape Beach, the main beach. For you naturalists who might enjoy the privacy of a nude beach, Eden Beach is nice and does have privacy. There were no gawkers. The lounge chairs were DEPLORABLE. They were in poor condition and were stretched out and torn. Very disappointing. If this is your reason to go to the hotel, you will be disappointed. The beach itself was rocky as was Honeymoon Beach. There are a few very limited access areas with a sandy entrance to the water. Sea Grape Beach, named after the trees was the nicest with a gently sloping beach and no steep drop off as there was at Eden and Honeymoon. Royal Palm Beach can be rocky with a steep drop off. We have been to better beaches at other resorts. WALKING & DISTANCE - Yes, it is a long walk to the towel hut or the main restaurant. Yes, the walk is steep. My wife and I are well over 60, but the walk did not present a problem at all. Food- Good, not exceptional. Anything you would want for breakfast is available and is buffet style. Waffles, Smoothies. Eggs any way you would like, individually prepared. Poached. omelets, eggs benedict etc. Lunch - Skip the reserved lunch option. The meal was poor. The lunch at the restaurant by the beach is just as nice but a little lacking in variety and snacks. Dinner - Buffet style very good with a variety of salads, a carving station each night, desserts, a bar with anything you might like. MOSQUITOES - not a place to be after sunset so bring a repellant. The resort does fogging to help. ROOM CONDITIONS - Honeymoon units were older but clean. About a 20 minute steep walk to the main restaurant. No drawers but a closet with shelves. Small room about 14 x 14. with a small bathroom. Beachfront units are right on the beach with a terrace and lounge chairs. Much larger but a little lacking in privacy, depending on the unit. HOTEL STAFF - kind, gracious. Excellent service. Thank you receptionist, Debbie for a great room and David for your care Read less

Wi-Fi was patchy in places and electricity in our room was off when we arrived. However, this was quickly resolved by the very helpful staff. Beautiful location with lovely beaches and an infinity pool. Bit breezy when we went in June 2025, but it was coming into hurricane season!

This is our 2nd visit to Hawksbill and despite a few hiccups we've had an amazing time. However I do think some of the accommodation is little outdated and need refurbishment and daily checks to properties should be made to ensure faults are dealt with quickly. Bathrooms do need updating and general maintenance of the properties should be carried out more frequently. Despite this I have to say the staff have been amazing and this alone has made our stay amazing. The view from our room is priceless and the beaches so stunning, despite all the sand being washed up to the side of the beach, which made entry to the beach quite difficult. In spite of all the above mentioned we will be coming back to Hawksbill :) Read less

Double check your phone in room to make sure it’s working so you can get towels in one of the rooms that I purchased. The room phone wasn’t working so we ended up not having towels for day. Book room only through hotel otherwise front desk will not accommodate changing rooms. My friends and I were really far apart and front desk was not able to help us. Otherwise rooms are updated, Beach pool gorgeous. Marie is amazing, we had issues with dress code for meals and she helped us out. Grer super helpful, ladies at excursion table were super patient and sweet we were able to book all of our excursions for the whole trip at a good rate. The hotel is far from nightlife or bars, so it will take a little longer to get there, but worth it. Read less
