perfect quiet relaxation
This was our second visit. While it needs upgrades (bathrooms especially) and the accommodations are simple, yet comfortable, for us needing total peace, quiet, no outside contact, no TV or newspapers, yet wifi, adequate closets and drawers, safe, and lovely porch, it has a certain "I don't know what" that attracts repeat visitors in droves. Not elegant or imposing, yet friendly and welcoming. Not glitzy by any stretch, it also doesn't attract the self-centered, self absorbed types we need to escape.

What a blast
We really, really enjoyed Hawksbill. It is exactly what we were looking for. It is true, as other reviews have stated, that this is a more laid back resort then some of the others. If that is what you are looking for, then this is the place. It is a 3 star resort, older but very nice. One restaurant for breakfast and dinner and a different one for lunch but the variety of food was excellent as was the food itself. Entertainment every night at dinner. This not a big hotel type place. We stayed in a bungalow on the beach and it was incredible. We walked 10 yards out our front door and we were on a beautiful beach . It is amazing how many people here are repeat visitors. Many, many people from Great Britain. We went on several great side trips. Catamaran, ATV's, swim with Stingrays, shopping and snorkeling. Great beaches, very good food, nice accomodations and very laid back. For us, the perfect vacation. Antigua itself is a very interesting island with very friendly people and an incredibly interesting history. Definitely take some time to get off the beach and see the island. Travel is safe anywhere. Do not miss the Sunday night barbecue at Shirley Heights. We are planning a return trip for next year.

Entertainment tip:
Short drive from hotel
The Sunday night Barbecue at Shirley Heights is a don't miss. Great food, music and people. However, even if you rent a car, take a cab to this event. Parking is at a premium and is just worth the fee. I think most resorts schedule this at their facility for guests.

Short getaway
Though Tomas mostly clouded our long weekend, we very much enjoyed our 5 day/4 night getaway. A great place to kick back and relax. Due to threat of Tomas' rain and our short time anyway, we never left the grounds -- but never felt trapped either. There was enough to do, and enjoyed the food and drinks. We did upgrade to the newer honeymoon rooms after the first night, and welcomed that change for the relatively modest cost increase. Certainly could have stayed longer, and if so, we would have done a couple of island excursions.

Money-saving tip:
Not Applicable
Prepaid transfer to/from airport unnecessary and expensive. Taxis are common, and low-$20s US one way. Unless island exploring, USD are fine, no need for ECD$.

Hotel accommodations terrible
The request was for two beds - received one bed. Cold water no hot water. Hotel staff did not help with bags at the end of the trip. Food non exciting - sold as choice of all inclusive and menu - menu only offered one night. overall very disappointing trip would not return

Not for kids
the service and food were first class and trouble with room were fixed quickly. This is not a resort for children or young adults in their 20's.

Hawksbill RETREAT
The comments listed from other travelers were all pretty accurate. Location beautiful. Rooms, average and you need the AC. Food average, bit of a fight to keep the birds away. Staff most good some not. Beaches rocky Nite life below average. A quiet restful retreat.

A Stress-Free Paradise!
A fabulous experience is every way. The high points: our room that overlooked the Caribbean(we heard the waves breaking as we went to sleep), four beautiful beaches, great breakfasts with made to order omelettes, a friendly, hospitable staff that really seemed to care that we were enjoying ourselves.

You should do the Segway tour of Fort James that you can book online. It's lots of fun and well worth it.

A CLASSIC THROWBACK PARIDISE
WE HAVE STAYED AT HAWKSBILL TWICE AND HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE BOTH TRIPS: WE LOVED IT. THE PROPERTY IS BEAUTIFUL AND QUITE WITHOUT ALL THE MODERN ELECTRONICS AND GADGETRY(NO CRAZY PARTIES OR DRUNKEN SINGLE MINGLES EITHER). THE STAFF ARE VERY FRIENDLY IN THIER POLITE RESERVED FASHION AND SERVICE IS GENERALLY GOOD UNTIL IT GETS LATE IT FALLS OFF A BIT(WE THINK MAYBE THEY WORK TOO MUCH).AS FOR THE FOOD ...IT IS OK. THERE IS ALWAYS MORE THAN ENOUGH TO EAT WITH A BUFFET OR SERVED COURSES BUT THE QUALITY IS UP AND DOWN. THIS BEING SAID THEY ARNT CHARGING FOR 5 STAR CUISINE SO OVER ALL PEOPLE SEEMED SATISFIED. ALSO I THINK THEY TEND TO CATER TO A BRITISH TASTE SO SOME THINGS ARE BLAND ON PURPOSE.SPECIFICLY THE CHICKEN ROITI WAS THE BEST MEAL OF THE WEEK AND SEVERAL SIDES STOLE THE SHOW SUCH AS EDDO,SCALLOPED POTATOES,AND BOILED GREEN BANANAS
