The hotel comprises a selection of bungalows around a number of beaches with a central main area with bars and restaurants. The bungalows, both garden view, sea view or ocean view are very similar. The main difference being the direct access to the beach from the Veranda. We had one garden and one seafront bungalow. Both were spotless and had similar features. Our gardenview bungalow had a TV. Large evening buffet which included a grill special each evening. The same restaurant offers a smaller buffet at lunch and a full breakfast buffet. A separate bbq restaurant is available at lunch, and a separate snack restaurant. Free watersports are available and jetski are also available to hire. The tour desk (and Myron on the beach) offer a number of trips.Several tourboats pick up from the beach and include circum-navigation of the island with itineraries comprising various snorkeling stops, beach stops and stingray city. The hotels provides transport services to any location.Sguttles to St John's and Shirley Heights. All provide a great holiday location. It's not a loud party resort. Read less

Hawksbill resort is a beautiful resort with an idyllic bay. Crystal clear waters and every shade of blue. Had the most genuine welcome of any of my stays in the Caribbean. If you want to relax in either the sea or the pool (which provides a stunning view over the bay), this is a place for you.

We have to work for the simplest things: Water, towels, food options are limited. cleaning device or any type of timely service. Any time we asked for ANYTHING, management and the front desk gave us an attitude and took their sweet time. They don’t care about their guests or safety, just money. The beds ARE MADE FROM HELL.

Any time we asked for ANYTHING, management and the front desk gave us an attitude and took their sweet time. They don’t care about their guests or safety, just money. The beds ARE MADE FROM HELL. I’ve stayed all over the world and this is the worst all inclusive I’ve EVER visited. By far. Showers are disgustingly, paper thin walls, unprofessional security, creepy people on Eden beach can enter and we’re stalking my friend and I to the room. Not safe, not sanitary, terrible food, terrible service, rude staff. The only nice thing was the beach. Read less

Lovely resort. Clean, comfortable rooms in a beautiful setting with great beaches. Great selection of quality food. Friendly (mostly) staff. Spoilt by groups of very loud Americans arriving for 4th July, playing music on speakers on beach and around pool. Communicating by shouting. Staggering in loudly to adjoining room at 2.45am.

Lovely resort. Clean, comfortable rooms in a beautiful setting with great beaches. Great selection of quality food. Friendly (mostly) staff. Spoilt by groups of very loud Americans arriving for 4th July, playing music on speakers on beach and around pool. Communicating by shouting. Staggering in loudly to adjoining room at 2.45am. I don't wish to accuse all Americans here as there were plenty of US couple and families who seemed equally annoyed and frustrated. I'm very conscious that Brits and other Europeans can be ill behaved/thoughtless on holiday, but not typically in this kind of resort which lends itself to a peaceful break. A hotel management presence would have been useful to remind our fellow inconsiderate residents to show some consideration for others. Read less
