We have stayed at Hawksbill Resort many times over many years( first trip 1987!) We love the property. The beautiful beaches and the slow laid back vibe. We even made two visits this year. In March and again this past September. There is something very special about this place. There are updates being made to rooms and the addition of the infinity pool is great. The food is pretty basic and can get tiresome after a few days but we don’t come for the food. We come for the beach and the lovely staff. David and Dalston, Julianne and Marie. They make this spot like coming to old friends. Read less

We recently stayed at this hotel with friends, and we were absolutely mesmerized by the stunning views, beautiful beaches, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere. From the moment we arrived, we felt truly taken care of, thanks to the amazing staff. We would like to extend our special thanks to Josh, Gerald, and David. They went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Their kindness and hospitality made us feel spoiled right from the start. Whether it was teaching us how to swim, supervising us on the beach, or taking us out kayaking (something we were a bit scared to try on our own), everything was done in a fun, friendly environment full of care and respect. The rooms were spacious with breathtaking views, the food was delicious, and the entire staff was incredibly helpful and kind. It would be a dream come true to return to this hotel again! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay. Read less
