We stayed at the Palm beach bungalow. It was right on the beach, with a private terrace and sun loungers. This beach is rocky and non swimmable, but the advantage is that it is more private there than on the Seagrape Beach. The disadvantage is bugs. You need to spray or go elsewhere. They seemed to disappear on a windy day though. The room itself… Read more
We stayed at the Palm beach bungalow. It was right on the beach, with a private terrace and sun loungers. This beach is rocky and non swimmable, but the advantage is that it is more private there than on the Seagrape Beach. The disadvantage is bugs. You need to spray or go elsewhere. They seemed to disappear on a windy day though. The room itself is large. Nothing special, clean and decent. The pillows were hard as rock though. There are 4 beaches. Palm beach is rocky, you cannot swim there. Just looks good. Eden is a nude beach, we didn't see many people there. Honeymoon cove beach is a tiny one, a few people were hanging out there. The main swimmable one is Seagrape beach. Clean water and you can see fish coming close to you. The beach, however, has an incline and it continues to the water. It is quite a drop, not a shallow sea you can walk in for a few meters. They have a nice infinity swimming pool. It is not big but it was never too crowded. Because the resort is on the heal, the view is pretty good from the pool. Food is just ok. I’d say it’s canteen style. We were not hungry but it’s nothing to remember. Coffee is not good, very watery. There is a coffee machine at the restaurant, and you need to ask them to make you a cup, otherwise they will pure you what they have. They also have instant coffee and tea at the restaurant by the beach. If you book with the resort directly, they give you a complimentary taxi voucher for airport transfer. They also stock your minibar daily for free, which was convenient. Read less

I stayed in room 58 had a garden and sea view which was wonderful waking up to sea waves each morning. the staff are helpful and welcoming the room is comfortable although I found the room very dark and the light has to be on during the day. Food was plentiful but lacked taste and flavour not many choices if you are a vegan or vegetarian either for breakfast lunch or dinner. It would be lovely to introduce your guests to the Antiguan/Caribbean culture by having a night celebrating your food and culture instead of serving American/ UK cuisine daily. The hotel has no lifts or ramps the steps are concrete therefore not suitable for anyone with any disability. Can you please issue the porters with luggage racks for them to assist with moving luggage safely. Read less

Return visit as we enjoyed our last visit in September 2024. Ideal for a quiet relaxing R&R. Excellent food and variety. There is always yogurt, fruits, smoothies/porridge, waffles, cereal, cold cuts, egg of your choice, sausage, hash brown, french toast, pastries/bread/muffins and a buffet for breakfast with tea/coffee/juices/water Lunch menu… Read more
Return visit as we enjoyed our last visit in September 2024. Ideal for a quiet relaxing R&R. Excellent food and variety. There is always yogurt, fruits, smoothies/porridge, waffles, cereal, cold cuts, egg of your choice, sausage, hash brown, french toast, pastries/bread/muffins and a buffet for breakfast with tea/coffee/juices/water Lunch menu includes a soup, salads with dressings, a buffet of veges, rice, halal chicken/beef, seafood ( mussels/fish/mahi mahi) pork, and local options in various styles ( bbq, chinese,pasta, creole), lovely desserts with drinks both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Dinner is usually a little dressy with live music or dj and the food is the same options as lunch with house wines and a different variety from lunch. Drinks are usually consistent with the only drawback for breakfast being the birds and sometimes flies On the beach there is the Sea grapes Restaurant with a fixed menu and a drinks bar and an afternoon tea station. The fish burger is recommended. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are according to what you pay for whether garden or ocean front. Suggest a short tap instead of container of water to wash sand from feet as you walk. The toilets need to be monitored for functionality. The grounds are wide and so it involves a bit of walking, with some stairs to reception and main restaurant. I would suggest footpaths be widened to accommodate motorized transport for older folks. The other restaurant which has to be reserved has an amazing view of the property and the beach. The beach is lovely with clear calm water where you can actually bathe with fishes or snorkel by the rocks Water sports include paddle boats, a trip on a sailboat with Gerald which is recommended free ride but leave a tip, or jet skis at a cost. It was my 2nd time at Hawksbill (took advantage of reduced cost offer the 2nd time) and hopefully not my last. Read less

I had the most incredible stay at Hawksbill during the July 4the weekend! I stayed in a beachfront bungalow, so I went to sleep and woke up to the sound of the ocean, which is very soothing. The bungalow has its own lounge chairs and table, or there are also lounges with umbrellas available, just outside of the room. The property itself is beautiful, with amazing views of the sea from several vantage points. The service of staff members from check in, to check out was exceptional! The restaurants were great. Due to limited seating, PD Grill requires a reservation. The views from the restaurant are breathtaking and so relaxing. The food at PD Grill, along with the other two restaurants onsite are great! But what really stood out for me was the consistency of fantastic customer service provided by all of their staff. I also appreciated the water bins provided to wash the sand from my feet, before walking into my room. I also took booked two hot stone massages, for an extra fee at their spa twice. The second massage relaxed me so much that I fell asleep Read less
