We have visited many Caribbean islands and hotels and this is the best hotel! Wonderful setting, with 4 magnificent beaches to lose yourself on. 37 acres of beautifully tended grounds-congratulations to Kendrick and his team. The management team are always evident and always working alongside the staff-'management by example'! The staff are always smiling and nothing is too much trouble. This hotel proved that you can get first-class, consistent service in the Caribbean. The food was excellent, with variety and good presentation. It was bliss to eat out under the stars. A great testament to the hotel is that a great many of the staff have over 15 years service-almost unheard of in the catering industry! Only two areas not quite up to standard: We had a standard room which was looking rather old and tired and in need of some tlc-but how long do you spend in your room? The pool was very small and also looking past it's 'sell by date'- but with all that Caribbean sea on your doorstep it wasn't a problem . I would highly recommend to anyone who wants a quiet hotel, in a splendid location with wonderful service.

After a week at the very disappointing Rex Papillon on St Kitts, the Hawksbill was paradise - right from the complimentary glass of champagne on arrival. Beautiful setting, well landscaped grounds, 4 sandy beaches, and a clear, calm (most days) sea to swim in. Our "superior" garden view room was spacious, well furnished and who wants a TV and a telephone! Most importantly, it had a coffee maker and there is no more enjoyable way to start the day than sitting on the patio at 7 am with a hot cup of coffee and views across the garden and beach to the sea. Food was excellent and the wine served with dinner was good quality. For anyone interested in birds, I recommend a 3 hour trip out with Victor Joseph - he knows his stuff and I'll never forget the flock of about 100 Black-necked Stilts. Victor's details are pinned up in the trip/tour room (off the beach restaurant). Unlike other reviewers, I may not return as the world is a large place and I want to see as much of it as I can. However, it is the best Caribbean hotel we have stayed in so far and can highly recommend it.

We made our 17th trip to the Hawksbill back in January and our 18th comes up in May.The new manager Richard Michelin together with Chris Lee, Nando, Devon, Chris Henry ( who makes marvellous crepes ) and the others have re-vitalised the place and the staff are all smiling again.The hotel going all - inclusive was a bit of a worry which as it turned out was totally unfounded.As other reviewers say the only difference is that we don't get a $400 dollar bill to pay before we leave. All the staff are brilliant. Magretta, Sandy, Bevlyn, Jean, Christabelle, Mary-Ann, Mrs Samuels, David, William and all the others - Thankyou ! .I would recommend anyone, to go to the Hawksbill, check out the prices compared to other all - inclusive hotels on Antigua ans i assure you you won't be dissapointed. Not long to wait now ans we'll be back meeting all our freinds who ( like us ) return time and time again. WARNING :- Go once - and i guarantee you'll go again !.
