Hawksbill Resort Antigua

Paige Davis

From the moment my Mom and I arrived at Hawksbill, I knew it was special. The resort itself is absolutely gorgeous with lush grounds, breathtaking views, and a sense of serenity. My suite was beautifully appointed, spacious, and thoughtfully designed with loads of privacy and close to the pool and main dining area. But what truly made my stay unforgettable was the staff. Every single person I encountered went above and beyond, creating an atmosphere that felt less like a hotel and more like being welcomed into a family. Their warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care elevated every moment of my visit. I want to especially recognize Corlette, whose kindness and hospitality was particularly noteworthy. She made us feel completely at home. There were many more as well from grounds keepers, housekeeping, water sports, restaurant/bar, gift show lady and reception. Everyone was genuinely wonderful. If you’re looking for a place that combines natural beauty, comfort, and the kind of heartfelt service that lingers long after you leave, Hawksbill is the perfect choice. I can’t wait to return.

It is a lovely Island. The airport and immigration was smooth. This is a very tranquil beautiful all inclusive resort. There are plenty of things to do such as paddle board kayak etc. Beautiful beaches and a nice infinity pool. The food was good, and they rotated the food well. Most of the staff was welcoming with a few exceptions. There are nice concrete paths to walk on, however, you have to watch your footing, there are potential trip hazards especially if you're older or wearing sunglasses.

I traveled with a group of 10 women to help celebrate my 50th. I love resorts on the smaller end so this was perfect as far as being right on the beach. It’s affordable & beautiful. Some areas of the resort could use a little updating. But the beaches really make up for that. the beaches are the main attraction & I enjoyed each & every one of them! As for the food/drinks, I’d like a better variety of breakfast food. Perhaps some more authentic island food as opposed to the heavy European & American staples. Also, did not expect to have to pay extra for top shelf alcohol. Never experienced that at other all-inclusives before. Overall, the resort staff were fine. Some were more attentive than others. Management & Housekeeping really did a great job of making my 50th birthday celebration very special. From the Champagne to the cake, the room decorations & the table at dinner. Beautiful!

What a gorgeous retreat!!!! Beautiful beaches, the main one a stone’s throw away, good food, and amazing staff. Can I say thank you from all of us to the front of house in the restaurant,(usually in a red dress, Bernadette, David, Delery, Aria, Julian, Agatha, Mira, Jennifer (Jen), Kiayna & Kemiah. I didn't get everyone's name, but we were welcomed with a good morning or night by all the staff, whether cleaning, gardening & reception. It was an amazing break, and we wanted for nothing!! The guests were also friendly and supportive, and the kayaking staff reassured me, my first time, so much so I went back for more! The bungalows were as described in the video, and were spotlessly clean. The thrice weekly fogging was an added bonus, I was bitten a lot last time I was in Antigua. We will be back to see you all again, and THANK YOU ALL, once more. Yvonne, Ruth, Camille & Charlotte xx

Ill try to cover EVERYTHING! I've traveled all over the Carribean, and Hawksbill is above average. We got a Royal Palm Beach Room in our own bungalow. We had a private patio with two lounge chairs we put together to make a beach bed. They were high-quality wood, with really cozy thick comfortable cushions, and the sun shade was nice during the day. The beds in our room were fantastic compared to other resorts I've stayed at. The AC worked perfectly, and our room was cleaned every day. The infinity pool IS PHENOMENAL. Just jaw droppingly beautiful! There were always beds available, and a pool shower nearby. This all-inclusive resort offers stand-up paddleboards, kayaks, snorkels, and a mini catamaran as well! You can paddle out to the hawk rock, it's shallow the whole way. We brought our own snorkel gear, and had a great time on all four beaches. Eden beach was a huge plus that isn't offered anywhere else in this part of the world, do some research on that. We relaxed, had great drinks, got a lot of sun, and enjoyed the views. There are goats and pigs all around which was also fun to watch. There was a huge variety of food offered each day. I had fresh salads, soups, and fruit most of the time. The desserts were soft, well-presented, and delicious. We had fun watching the fire dancer show, the steel drum music, and the amazing singer that was there one night. Most (not all) of the staff was very attentive. The bartenders were very social, made our drinks quickly, and offered water where needed. There is one bartender that I wish I would have gotten the name of so I could mention him here, but I nicknamed him Shemar and he got a great laugh at my husband, Enrique! I am sure that bartender is world renowned and well known. He is muscular, very social, and always had a smile or a laugh!!! Now - I need to mention that the bugs here are everywhere. The insects are not something the resort can control. It's a low elevation island, with a lot of standing water and rain, so when it rains, the insects get stirred up! I cannot stress enough to visitors to bring at least two forms of repellent and some itch cream to put on if you happen to be sweet like me! I came back home with about 50 bites, and I used strong bug repellent. Also, the sun here is STRONG. It's only about 1200 miles from the equator, so make sure to bring lots of sunscreen and apply consistently. It's around twenty four bucks in the gift shop for a bottle the sun screen or for bug stuff if you happen to forget. They offer all kinds of excursions, taxi's with helpful drivers if you want to explore we always go to a local supermarket to see all the different offerings and snacks to take back home. We tried local rum, fried plantains, and went to a local restaurant which I will review next. INCREDIBLE food, rooms, staff, drinks, and a one-of-a-kind experience. The ocean here was unlike any other I've experienced as a diver and avid snorkeler! Thank you Hawksbill, for a wonderful stay and a memorable experience.
