The hotel was not what we expected for a 3 and half star hotel when the Verandah is half star more & considerably better. The hotel is in need of major renovation and this is relected in the qality of the rooms and facilities. The hotels lease has elapsed and this could be the reason for the lack of funding.... More

It was good for a 3 star resort, but I only stayed for one night as a stop-over. It was not cheap, probably best to book as a part of a package. It is great for access to the only naturist beach in the country (with a few goats too). Very quiet and peaceful on the beach. More

We have just returned from a fortinight's stay at HB, and before I delve into the details, let me preface this by stating that I have been reading the TA reviews for over a year, have visited Antigua previously, and actually visited this resort prior to our holiday. I'd like to challenge some of the misconceptions and be as truthful... More

Above all the location of this hotel made our stay memorable. The hotel benefits from four beaches and is set in beautiful gardens. The accommodation is mainly beach bungalow style, with many rooms facing the sea. We were in a garden bungalow, the cheapest option which was located behind the superior sea view rooms. Although the room lacked a view... More

Hawksbill is located in a beautiful setting and it doesn't try to be more than it is. The rooms are nice enough, the food is tasty and plentiful but not gourmet, the drinks flow freely, and the guests are generally relaxed and friendly. The staff is mostly cheerful although not always as efficient as one might like. It is the... More

We understand why there are so many repeat visitors: the place is magical. We quickly adjusted to the rhythm and felt very comfortable. The beaches are spectacular, specially Eden beach. It is a great place to disconnect from busy lifestyles - we liked the fact that there was no TV and no A/C. Food is OK, little bit repetitive. And... More

We highly recommend the Hawksbill for those who like a relaxing laid back vacation and beautiful uncrowded beaches. Hawksbill is not a glitzy high-rise; it has more of a folksy atmosphere. Like many who visit Hawksbill we are multiple repeat customers. This trip included approximately 30 of our extended family. Everyone had a great time. The best feature of Hawksbill... More

I find it incredibly sad that people expect 5 star standards from a 3 star hotel. This is not the Hermitage, Carlisle Bay or Blue Waters. This is the totally unpretentious Hawksbill. It is clean, the food is perfectly acceptable and it is a place of relaxation and tranquility appreciated by many. Why do so many people get so uptight... More

Our 4th visit to this lovely place. The airport is still dreadfully slow (although staff cheerful as ever). After 2 1/2 hours queuing to get in through immigration and torrential rain and flooding on emerging it was not an ideal welcome to paradise! Hotel is same as ever which is nice but getting in need of renovation - not a... More

Having read francesjohn's review it gives the impression the entire island of Antigua is some type of Hell Hole which it's not! Perhaps North Korea would be better for their next holiday. We have returned from Hawksbill for the 6th time & as always we were met with a very warm welcome. This Antiguan warmth is an integral part of... More
