A hallmark of tranquility on the leeward shores of Antigua, Hawksbill Resort is a captivating adults-only haven skirting the pristine coastline of Five Islands Village. Just a 20-minute drive from V. C. Bird International Airport, the resort embarks on an approach down a private road, establishing an immediate allure of seclusion as the lush palms give way to four elegantly defined beaches-the pièce de résistance being the island's only clothing-optional stretch. Stepping into the lobby, you're greeted by an airy space infused with tropical charm; light dances through open archways, accentuating the rustic elegance of local art and inviting decor. Each area exudes a laid-back sophistication, a prelude to the experiences that await-snorkeling excursions, sunfish sailing, or simply unwinding with a refreshing drink in hand as the Caribbean sea laps gently at the shore. Dining options are versatile, with two onsite restaurants serving a continuous flow of light, flavorful Caribbean cuisine, while the main bar serves to refresh appetites whether lounging poolside or indulging in sunset views.

Explore the Local Area

The local setting is ripe for exploration, dotted with some of the 300-plus beaches that make Antigua a tantalizing destination. A ten-minute jaunt to the renowned Fort James or the stunning Deep Bay offers more than just historical curiosities; these close attractions present vibrant views and opportunities for beachcombing. Stroll to the Museum of Antigua and Barbuda in nearby St. John's, just 5.5 km away, to immerse yourself in the island's rich heritage, or experience the stunning vistas at Galley Bay, a mere three minutes down the road. You're never far from cultural gems or the captivating beauty of both land and seascape, easily accessed via taxis or rental services for the more adventurous.

Room Information

Hawksbill Resort features 100 thoughtfully designed accommodations, ranging from cozy detached bungalows to spacious suites, all seamlessly integrating the island's natural beauty into their aesthetic. The average bungalow size is approximately 400 sq ft, furnished with a mini-fridge, coffee facilities, and a private balcony or terrace for views of the serene sea or landscaped gardens. Guests can anticipate air conditioning, free toiletries, and essential modern conveniences including flat-screen TVs, ensuring a comfortable stay while also preserving an authentic Caribbean atmosphere.

Room Upgrades

Upgrade possibilities abound, with larger suites offering 600 sq ft of space for those seeking additional luxury and comfort. The beachfront units boast expansive sea views, with elegant furnishings, a spacious seating area, and interconnected rooms available to cater to couples or groups. These enhanced offerings still revolve around the natural essence of the island, providing a perfect balance of elegance and a rustic, homey feel-ideal for basking in the singular beauty that is unique to Hawksbill.

“This adults-only resort emphasizes its Caribbean identity, with beautiful grounds incorporating a historic sugar mill. The staff seems genuinely welcoming, and the all-inclusive plan includes a wide variety of well-prepared food and drinks. It's a tranquil escape that stands apart for its clothing-optional beach and secluded setting.”

Underwhelming Stay, Some Issues Noticed

repetitive buffetslow bar

My experience had some disappointments. The buffet selection became repetitive. It was like the same dishes reappeared night after night. The lack of variety made dining quite boring after a few days. the service at the main bar was often slow. Sometimes, getting a drink took longer than expected, especially during peak hours. This was frustrating when wanting a quick refreshment.

lovely beachesidyllic settingfriendly stafflimited accessibility

I found the resort to have four lovely beaches, a definite highlight! the beachfront bungalow offered an idyllic setting. the staff were friendly and cheerful, always ready to assist. Brad from the beach bar especially provided excellent service with big drinks and a warm smile.

i noticed the layout requires guests to walk long distances from the bungalow accommodation. climbing two sets of stairs to reach the restaurant was difficult for me and other guests with mobility issues. a buggy cart or a lift would greatly improve accessibility.

The location offers fine scenery, with four beaches to explore each day. eden beach is notable. It allows early morning walks where visitors can see pigs and goats. it's a great opportunity for animal lovers!
