The Hawksbill Resort is the perfect place for people who like a nice, quiet resort with no crowds, no annoying boat noise, no bling, and no annoying touristy gimmicks. This is the way all resorts used to be, and I wish more were like this. Kudos to Hawksbill for keeping the dream vacation alive. If you want noise and crowds and busyness, and ugly high rise resort buildings and 5 pools and 8 restaurants, and endless planned activities, then this isn’t the place for you. But if you like peace and quiet and beautiful scenery, and great beaches, good food and drinks, and nice people, and space and relaxation, then this IS the place for you. Read less

20 steps from our room to the sea. It was wonderful. The room had everything you needed - a comfortable bed and pillows, good air conditioning, no TV (this is a plus), high-speed wifi. Beautiful nature, wonderful sea

Although the general ambience of the resort was appealing , it had an air of being work in progress with many rooms and main buildings still in need of major renovation.

Antigua is a beautiful island boasting 365 beaches, which is true. However the Hawksbill property is the gem of the island. Tucked away in privacy on the caribbean side, facing west for gorgeous sunsets. If you are looking to be with nature and a low key hotel environment then the Hawksbill is the perfect place. The new management has done a very good job with all the upgrades. Lastly I cannot say enough about how friendly all the staff are from the front desk to the ground keepers and everyone in between. We will be back. Read less
