Pros:- + The grounds are beautiful and immaculately kept + Nice beaches + Friendly staff who genuinely seem to care Cons:- - The food is abysmal. I gave most of my food to the starving stray cats under the table. Unfortunately even they turned their nose up at some of it! - The hotel is frequented by "older" Brits and... More

They are not the ones in the water but the ones who run the Water sports !!!. Do not part with any money until you have received your goods, we found out the hard way. Sorry for the delay in posting this review but we were hoping that the hotel would have contacted us with regard to our complaint but... More

Still living in its 1960's heyday, beach chalets (variously described by other guests as "quaint" and "back packers beach cabins") very basic. Food very unimaginative and less interesting than I would cook at home. Staff very friendly, but limited beach facilities and no evening entertainment (apart from canned music). Island has little to offer except for its beaches. Overall a... More

What can we say - Hawksbill is simply outstanding!! We have traveled all over the Caribbean - we were married in Tortola, BVI 26 years ago and have spent time in Mystique, Grenada, St. Lucia, St Maartin, Virgin Gorda, Grenada, Barbados, Angulla, Aruba, and many other Caribbean Islands - for the past 13 years we have found ourselves coming back...

We first stayed here in September 1990 & have just returned from our eleventh stay, having visited on a "day basis" quite often when cruising the Caribbean in winter time. We have never seen the grounds looking better & noticed that Sylvia is still conducting her garden tours. The food is as good as ever, with Sean still bringing new... More

April 14-21.Blaine and Evelyn, Ontario, Hawksbill stay was very enjoyable, nice place to relax. Grounds were very well kept and the property is definitely one of a kind. My favorite spot was sitting on the cannon in the evening as the sun went down. Food was good and my favorite was the butter fish at the beach restaurant. I fed... More

This March marked our 10th visit to Hawksbill. People often ask why we keep going back to the same spot...that is because they've never been to Hawksbill! Within 30 minutes of checking in we were sitting and talking with friends at the bar. Friends we see once a year, from the UK, the states and even the staff. The familiarity... More

I loved this place. I went here with my girlfriend in Feb. 2012. The weather was amazing. It rained for at least one minute, (yes, I said one minute) every day. It would be less than 5 minutes from the time you saw the first cloud, rain, then sun again. Like this one woman said at the resort, "the sun... More

My husband and I spent 10 days in March 2013 at Hawksbill. It is very quiet and has a charm all of its own. All the staff are extremely friendly and there are four lovely beaches to chill out on. Chose your room carefully. We had chosen our room as an upgrade from the standard room... the room itself was... More
