The location and beach are top notch and very beautiful. The staff and Antiguan people are very friendly, open to talk about anything and genuinely the warmest we have every experienced. The accommodation was a disappointment but we went with the least expensive option and I think we got one of the worst rooms in that price level. I would... More

We have just come back from week at Hawksbill and were very disappointed with the entire experience. We booked with Virgin which was seamless however from arrival in Antigua it was a nightmare, after a 2 .5 hr wait to get through immigration we were taken to the resort , it was raining but that was ok, The room a...

Many people do go back to Hawksbill year after year. Some people have been back 20 or 30 times and therefore must like it. Over the years we have stayed at many similar hotels in the Caribbean, and we are quite used to the rustic charms. For example we have stayed at Coconut Beach Club in recent years and have... More

Just back from the Hawksbill and whilst I can see why so many rave about the place, am not sure that it gives a true picture of what the place is like - which is why you are reading this, right? So, first the good. It's not too far from the airport - not that anywhere is really, but it... More

We stayed here for 2 weeks in November 2011 and really loved the place! Staff were great-nothing was too much trouble and everyone was so cheerful! We stayed in honeymoon cove chalets and were very satisfied with our room. Holiday Inn it isn't but if you're looking for a quiet holiday without hoards of kids this is the place for... More

What a shame our experience didn't match up to what we were expecting given the positive reviews on TA. We arrived, sharing our taxi with a couple who had visited 22 times who helpfully gave us the insiders view of the resort. We were thrilled to arrive, loved the cold towels and rum punch (when they remembered to put the... More

Just like the title says: AVERAGE but NICE LOCATION... Try to build-up around that to explain. - 1 - Arrival Airport: We were travelling with a 2,5 year old and as you can imagine a normal amount of luggage... The shuttle driver sent by Virgin Holidays only took care of 1 piece of luggage... so I had to carry the... More

I wonder about the review written by Texantasha. Why would you book out without first reporting your findings to reception,who could then remedy it? I struggle to believe that this is true. The staff at Hawksbill are one of the reasons that there are so many returning guests and would be upset to think that people were so upset as... More

Our stay at this hotel was for 3 hours, which was 2 hours and 59 minutes too long. We had disembarked from a sailing in the morning and had been 'recommended' Hawksbill resort for the day prior to our flight home. We were not expecting uber-luxury but we were anticipating clean and acceptable. We paid close to $300 for 3... More
