Visited in May for 5 nights as a solo traveller. This resort was incredible. 4 beautiful beaches so you’re spoilt for choice as to where to watch the sun set each evening. A very laidback resort and the epitome of relaxation. Definitely bring some insect repellent because the mosquitos will bite the crap out of you. The staff are incredibly friendly, always greeting you with a smile. A special shout out to the lovely young lady at reception and the ‘towel hut guys’ Gerrell and Fenton. They were really funny and lovely to talk to. I also enjoyed going on the sailboat with Gerrell and would recommend if you get the chance. Read less

We had a fabulous and enjoyable time at the Hawksbill Resort and have some very fond memories of our ten days staying there. The vibe was relaxed, the accommodation comfortable and all the staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. We stayed in a bungalow directly on the beach which was a lovely, quiet location. The room was spacious, well appointed with comfortable beds and efficient air conditioning. The bathroom was large, modern with twin sinks, bath and a powerful shower. The grounds around the resort were very well kept and maintained with lovely trees and plants with many pathways to walk and stroll around. We were full board at the resort and all the meals we had were excellent. There was always a good choice of buffet dishes, salad bar, drinks and puddings and the service always friendly, happy and quick. There are 4 beaches at the resort, one with loads of activities, canoes, snorkelling equipment etc, the other two are relaxed for sunbathing and the private and remote Eden Beach , just a few minutes walk away which is long, quiet and secluded - and also naturist which is a rather lovely experience once you get used to it! We’d not been to the Caribbean before but I think we made the best choice of Antigua and Barbuda and in staying at the Hawksbill Resort. We’d warmly recommend it and are already thinking about our return trip! Read less
