Having enjoyed our first visit last April we had been looking forward to our return visit for the past 8 months. We were in no way disappointed with our return visit. We were warmly greeted by eveyone of the staff who we met last year, and felt that they were genuinely... more

Location --------- The Hawksbill is set in a beautiful location right on the beach, there are plenty of gardens to wander around in and the scenery is beautiful. With the 3 beaches on offer you are never fighting for sunbeds or locations and often we were only ones on the... more

We actually went in 2004. We had a fantastic holiday there and felt compelled to write a review because of the extremely bad one added. I wanted to add a realistic review. The resort is in beautiful surroundings, the main restaurant, bar and reception give a fantastic view... more

Just spent an excellent eight days, being looked after in every way.
Having read negative things about the hotel was concerned but found nothing at all to grouse about. Location excellent. Food for a 3* excellent. Staff more than helpful. Rooms airy
Would I go back? Tomorrow if I could!

I've only rated this "1" as "0" wasn't available. The hotel is undoubtedly set in a beautiful bay but that is it's only redeeming feature. The hotel is dated, falling apart and dirty. The food was awful - lukewarm and, far from the Caribbean Fayre we were promised, gave... more

A unique experience
The Hawksbill is not a resort for everyone, but it has a charm that doesn't exist at any other resort in the Caribbean. This was our 4th visit to the resort over the past 6 years and we have always found the staff more than friendly. True they have individual personalities but are warm and genuine people, definately not of the "have a nice day" types. I cannot agree with various reviews describing them as rude and unhelpful. These comments seem to reveal more about the holidaymakers themselves rather than the staff. If you are looking for a luxury hotel, tv, aircon, kids club, entertainments and late night action etc. then please give the Hawksbill a miss. For us the only blot on the landscape is the new managers decision to make the resort all inclusive. This, along with price cuts, smacks of desperation to get bookings up and may have a severe detrimental imact on the huge number of repeat visitors. Many of the new first time visitors would be more at home in Cyprus, Mallorca or Crete and will judge the resort purely on the cocktails, entertainment, number of sun loungers, size of pool etc. They are unlikely to be repeat visitors. Richard, please re-consider the all inclusive decision and save the Hawlbill from anonymity.
absolutely wonderful no better place to go in antigua
there is no better place in antigua than the hawksbill hotel excellent service throughout and a management team that care about their staff and their guests from mr & mrs menzies 1st time charity auction winners keep up the good work
Paradise Found
We discovered this Paradise Resort 15 years ago, and return every May. Nicest folks on the planet.
paradise is the hawksbill
we have just had three weeks in heaven, the hawksbill beach resort is by far the best resort we have stayed at in 15 years visiting the carribean. We would like to thank all at hawksbill for making our stay so special. The hawksbill is every thing you need for a relaxing time.
Paradise Personified
My first visit to the Hawksbill was in 1994 - my first impression and feeling was - I have died and gone to Heaven! That feeling has not changed since, and I have been there at every opportunity - about 14 times in all....the location is idyllic, the staff are always welcoming and so friendly. I travel alone and it is like a 'second home'. Although I have not managed a visit this year...I have not ruled it out...every hopeful! Many hotels are just 'fun-in-the-sun' resorts and could be located anywhere in the world - but The Hawksbill is unique with it's undeniable truely Caribbean atmosphere...I leave a little piece of my heart there each visit - which is why, like so many other guests, I hope to be a life-long repeater.
Our second home
My sister and I have been vacationing at the Hawksbill for the past 19 years. It has become our second home. When we arrive we are greeted like family. We have made many friends and each year we arrange our vacation dates so we can all be there at the same time. The beaches are beautiful, the people are and staff are just wonderful. It's just a beautiful, quiet and relaxing resort that we can't wait to get to every year.
18 years and still love it
We discovered Hawksbill 18 years ago after many trips to the Carribean and never went anywhere else after that. The lovely property with 4 special beaches, beautiful gardens, plus the charming,friendly and courteous staff, make this hotel a delightfully carefree and relaxed place to vacation in true low key Carribean style.
Relax and Enjoy
Just returned from a wonderful holiday at the Hawksbill in Antigua. A very beautiful location with four fantastic beaches. Excellent food, lovely staff and the head gardener's tour of the grounds is a must! Met a lot of other guests who go there every year and we will definitely return.
Heaven on Earth
Have visited this Hotel so may times since 1990 we've lost count. Just can't wait til the nxt time Wonderful place, fantastic staff.
"Thanks for the memories"
We have just returned from Hawksbill Beach Resort after a pleasant weeks stay. The beaches are absolutely great, food needs some improvements, and service was above average. There is a new gen mgr (Richard Michelin) who is making this resort do an about face. I understand it will undergo a facelift soon and that as of December 03 it will become an all-inclusive resort...this is good as Antigua resorts seem to be pricey regarding food/drink. There are four pristine beaches, water sports, good snorkel- ing, and a secluded clothing optional beach. If you are looking for a family or friends unit, choose the Great House which has 3 bdrms, located on a beach point with spectacular views. We chose not to use our A/C as we wanted to enjoy sounds of the ocean...believe you me this was a wise choice, almost like getting back to nature! My wife and I will be returning back to Antigua in January for two weeks and look forward to experiencing the new Hawksbill Beach Resort
