Hawksbill Resort Antigua

Hawksbill Resort Antigua

8/10 Good
"We had a great time at Hawksbill. The food was excellent, the Tamarind buffet changed nightly for dinner which was very enjoyable. Seagrapes has great food but they do have additional charges if you want a steak or Lobster (and its quite pricey). Our only disappointment was that our Beachfront bungalow was on the beach where you couldn't really swim because it was very rocky and hard to get in & out. We had to walk to the other side to swim in the ocean or the pool. The staff were very friendly & helpful, especially Sandy our Chambermaid & Davon the beach waiter. We do highly recommend Hawksbill Resort for a relaxing affordable vacay with great food & beautiful beach sunsets."
