This was our second trip to Hawksbill, and we will be back! While the place is a little tired, the staff and service more than make up for it. The personal service was great.

Thanks to Dave at the front desk for making our stay enjoyable by making sure we had the right bungalow. The food and service couldn't be better, thanks to Judith and Myra and Sandy! Bar service and quality was great, thanks David and William! We stayed an extra day, which was no problem, thanks to Aretha. The manager, Mario, also met us several times to make sure we were doing fine. Thanks again!! Read less

The resort seems to have following of a more mature crowd/ retired guest which made my stay even more peaceful. If all you want to do is rest and take in the natural surroundings then Hawksbill Resort is the place to be where the waves will put you to sleep

We visited in the last week of October. We were greeted at reception with a warm welcome and glasses of bubbly. We had booked a beach front bungalow and a porter took our bags to our room down on Royal Palm beach. Our room had air conditioning, a fridge, 2 safes, a huge comfortable bed and an enormous bathroom. Our room was not modern or luxurious… Read more
We visited in the last week of October. We were greeted at reception with a warm welcome and glasses of bubbly. We had booked a beach front bungalow and a porter took our bags to our room down on Royal Palm beach. Our room had air conditioning, a fridge, 2 safes, a huge comfortable bed and an enormous bathroom. Our room was not modern or luxurious but it was clean and perfectly fine. We had a little veranda and there were plenty of sun loungers available. Outside was just a few steps from one of the resorts incredible beaches. There were not many other guests while we were there and I think because of this the restaurant offered menu choices for most of days. The food was tasty, well cooked and beautifully presented. I think we had buffet options at the weekend and 1 day in the week. The drinks offered were not premium brands but there were no short measures! The staff were very keen to ensure we had a great stay and couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. Free WiFi available in rooms, bar and even the beach. The hotel has 4 beaches that were pretty much empty during our stay - bliss! Hotel entertainment was limited to Saturday evening so if you need more stimulation, this might not be the place for you. Also I would say if you have mobility issues this resort would be challenging as there are a lot of steep steps to rooms and the restaurant. Overall we had a fantastic stay and we are looking forward to our next holiday here. Read less

I guess you could say that this is a little biased as we have been visiting this hotel since 1995. It is a bit like coming home every time we visit.

I guess you could say that this is a little biased as we have been visiting this hotel since 1995. It is a bit like coming home every time we visit. Love the location, better than any other on the island. It is very quiet and peaceful and the staff are extremely helpful and understanding. The a la carte menus were often available for breakfast lunch and dinner. It is quite a way from St Johns and away from any other hotels. The clothes optional beach is a very long fourth beach and very quiet. This was the second time we visited this hotel this year and in all have spent over six weeks here this year! Not everything is perfect and typical Caribbean time and method. To us this is a five star experience although in reality the hotel is probably three star, but the staff and location make up for this. If you like a busy holiday this is probably not for you.

Beautiful, peaceful and relaxing.... We stumbled on this little gem after our trip to Cuba was cancelled and we booked this holiday at the last minute, we’d read the reviews before booking and the things that people were complaining about (lack of tv, entertainment etc) was exactly what we were looking for. One of best part of this holiday is how well looked after you are by the staff, nothing is too much trouble for them. The hotel is set in beautiful well maintained grounds and all the rooms are directly on the beach. If you love beach holidays and snorkelling then this is definitely the place to be The food is fantastic and cooked to order and prepared quickly and a good selection and the wines are great. This quaint little hideaway is paradise and we will be returning next year. My only “warning” is the cost of taxi’s to get around the island (they prices are set by the government) and always make sure you book your trips through the hotel and not people who approach you on the beach. The hotel will always get you the best deal. Read less
