Idyllic seting with gently swaying palm trees, long sandy beaches and azure and turquoise sea with the odd sailing boat in the distance. A very long line (1/3+ mile) of accommodation of mainly semi-detached "bungalows " within a few yards of sandy beaches and sea. Pleasant sound of sea from inside our wooden "bungalow" which was fairly primitive with basic... More

An idyllic setting with 3 safe beaches, and access to more. Beach Club accomodation overlooking Honeymoon Bay was perfect with open sea view, privacy, excellent ventilation so no need for airconditioner,balcony and loungers.Staff all friendly and helpful. Food largely excellent and varied, although service nights a little slow; buffet or BBQ occaisons worked well in evenings. Good lunchtime grill. All... More

This is our fourth visit to your piece of Paradise and every time it gets harder to leave. From the moment we crest the hill and your vista is laid out before us we know we made the right decision to come back. The water, the beaches, the grounds, the views, are so beautiful. But that is just the beginning.... More

Private beach front property perhaps the best in Antigua. Gorgeous views and pristine beach overshadow any shortcomings in terms of service or amenities. Potential shortcomings would include limited window for breakfast, lunch, and dinner time; housekeeping not plush with toiletries or towels. But the beach front bar compensates! Would recommend a pina colada (or two or three) - yum! Friendly... More

Stunning location with a wonderful long, sandy clothing optional beach - unfortunately spoiled by the behaviour of a few people. One of the prettiest locations I've visited but the rooms and facilities are 'tired' and the service varies. Sometimes non-existent - the only place in the world where my table and drinks have been cleared while we were getting food... More

In January we returned to The Hawksbill for two weeks. Everything was just as we expected, and it was lovely to see so many familiar faces amongst the staff. The hotel was busy but there was plenty of room with the four beaches and extensive gardens, so it was easy to find your own space either in the sun or... More

Have been at Hawksbill Resort in Antigua for 2 weeks at the end of January 2012, booked through an Italian tour operator. Resort is located at the northwest part of the island, so one must pass through St. John to drive anywhere. In front of the hotel there are 4 beaches, pone is the only nude beach in Antigua: not...

This is the worst resort I have ever stayed at. Just some of the things they did. You get one beach towel, and in order to get a new one you have to exchange it between 7 and 8 am. The place is ancient and the rooms dont have a tv, and you can feel every spring in the bed.... More
