The Hawksbill is a beautiful, calm, relaxing place. If you are looking for plate glass and shine this isn’t for you. If you enjoy relaxed, slightly alternative, style and charm, away from the clamour of modern life, book now.

Hawksbill was everything we were expecting on our honeymoon. It was a beautiful part of the world secluded away from the rest of the island and we barely left the resort. The surroundings were fantastic and well kept and the beeches were pristine. The food was above what we expected, it wasn't Michelin star but it was really good with plenty of flavors and options to choose from. Some dishes were better than other but that is to be expected when there is so much on offer. The drinks were good as well and we never went without. We strongly recommend the mango daiquiri. What really makes this place amazing is the staff! every single one of them was happy to see you and really friendly. Fist bumps and handshakes everywhere. There are too many to mention but the ones me and my wife will remember and hope to see again were Fenton on water sports, Mikyla & Dalton at the main bar, David at Seagrapes, Kasim who delivered us drinks all over the resort. These guys really made an effort and made us feel special. There are always sunbeds free, although the pool beds got snapped up quickly and when that happened you just made your way to the beech and there were plenty. There are a few upgrade taking place and there are area's that are on the to do list but this in no way took away from our first experience of the Caribbean. We will be looking to head back in the next few years as it was just the perfect relaxing holiday. Read less

Location, food and staff are lovely, just make sure you get thme to put enough sun loungers put as there are often not enough on 2 of the 4 beaches within the resort; Honeymoon cove and Eden beach!
