The resort is beautiful, if you like that old world feel. I was supposedly upgraded after a mix up & ended up paying $20 more & staying in the most dated room. No full length mirror just the bathroom vanity & dresser mirror. The fridge was NEVER STOCKED from the time we got there from the time we left. The water was only warm & then the last day… Read more
The resort is beautiful, if you like that old world feel. I was supposedly upgraded after a mix up & ended up paying $20 more & staying in the most dated room. No full length mirror just the bathroom vanity & dresser mirror. The fridge was NEVER STOCKED from the time we got there from the time we left. The water was only warm & then the last day was absolutely cold. I never received a tour of the resort or even guided to where things were. Many of the women on the resort were rude & treated my friend & I badly. The lunch service sucked specifically because of these two women, I wish I had gotten their names. The blatantly ignored us & walked past us. The food was okay. Drinks were okay. I went to Antigua to bring in NYE on an island. Antigua is beautiful & I plan on going back, just NOT staying at Hawksbill. Shoutouts to Niosha, David, Brad, Delon, Dalston, Chris, Shanda, & Luciano! They made my stay extremely pleasant & made me feel at home! I wouldn’t have anything nice to say if it were not for the individuals I named! Read less

I loved this hotel. I loved my room and how close it was to the ocean ( garden view) I loved that they cater to the animals. Some mornings you can find goats, ducks, or a little pig, roaming eating grass and the fruits from the tree. This hotel is so relaxing. The crowd was very elderly, and I was ok with that since I didn't come to party. This… Read more
I loved this hotel. I loved my room and how close it was to the ocean ( garden view) I loved that they cater to the animals. Some mornings you can find goats, ducks, or a little pig, roaming eating grass and the fruits from the tree. This hotel is so relaxing. The crowd was very elderly, and I was ok with that since I didn't come to party. This is not your family, young crowd type of hotel. The views are so pretty, and a beautiful sunset near the rock. A nude beach is nearby, if you want to feel extra relaxed, just a little warning, pigs come out and bathe and relax as well. The wifi was excellent, one of the best I've experienced away from the States. It rained, so the water was very choppy, but still a beautiful view. I will be coming back. Read less

Hidden gem of tranquility. Amazing customer service. Starting to get little improvements to help the hotel experience even better. Cannot wait for the coffee shop to open which will enhance the site. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff.
