Overall good experience, just a few issues
This was our 1st experience at an all inclusive, and for the price we paid it was a good value. Beautiful setting, good food, mostly nice staff. The resort is aging though, and needs some investment. That said we were comfortable, (except for hot water problem that had to be repaired twice). One night the bar closed and several die hards (us included) kept socializing, and the barkeep came back out and re-opened the bar. Very nice and surprising gesture, though I'm sure one couple wished they had not done that, the next am. The high rating for "beaches and pool" is exclusively aimed at the beaches. I jumped in the small pool one time (real small) and got some strange looks. Never saw anyone else in it. but i survived to right this review. Guess if they put in an infinity pool they'd have to charge more. Quite a few people return regularly to this place so there is a draw working here, my guess is the beaches beauty and value, not so much the accommodations. Hey, just being honest.
Relax......let the magnificent landscape, miles of beautiful beaches, turquoise waters,and friendly staff sweep you off your feet at this off- the- path perfect paradise. Hawksbill Antigua is jammed packed with activities for those who want to explore or quiet places for those who want to take in the ambiance and charm of this resort. The food was incredible; the options numerous. Overall, this was one of the best vacations my husband I and have been on for such a reasonable price. It was a beautiful experience that I have kept with me to this very day and will treasure until I can get there again.
