I was looking for a quiet getaway for just myself and I found it. Hawksbill has four beautiful beaches to choose from and you often find yourself with the beach all to yourself. The staff is super-accomodating and always remembers your name and favorite beverage. Upon arrival, I was greeted with a cold towel and beverage of my choice and told I was being upgraded! To my suprise, I was moved to a private cottage on Honeymoon cove with air conditioning and the most spectacular ocean view. I fell asleep to the sound the the waves crashing under my door. Although the resort is all-inclusive, do not expect a party atomsphere you might find at other resorts. The party here stops about 11PM or sooner. However, I went to chill out and could not have asked for a better location. The resort is almost 50 years old, but is wonderfully maintained and keeps a really sweet retro vibe. I never felt out of place as a single traveller, I would go back in a heartbeat!

Awsome vacation.........Five star hotel.....Great food....Strong drinks....HOWEVER......The Garden View rooms are Terrible...imagine staying in a 60's style motel with no ac, no tv, no phone.....and the smell of dead rotting sea because you are next to the sewage tank. We got a free upgrade to a cottage room and I Sincerely Thank the hotel for this! I give the hotel 5 stars because of the upgrade and being able to sleep with the sound of the waves crashing at night. If we were stuck in the Garden View room .......I would of found a way to come home early from vacation ...that bad trust me!Also...don't forget they charge a 20 departure tax at the airport CASH ONLY...alot of people were not expecting this.Oh and there are amazing coral reefs right off the beach.....no need to pay for a day trip!

I booked Hawksbill by REX Resorts - all inclusive as a quick getaway from a crazy year and frigid NJ temperatures. I am a single woman, 40's who travelled by herself in January 09. The resort was perfect for me because it was quiet, beautiful, well kept and friendly. I believe I was upgraded to a bungalow by the sea which was a simple room but amazing. Floor-to-ceiling windows just had screens and shutters that were adjustable. What it offered was the ability to listen to the sea crash all day/night. The room was also about 30 steps to the ocean with a convenient grassy area out front where numerous lounge chairs were set up. My neighboring vacationers were older (65+) international couples who stopped for a chat and then went about their business. Breakfast was the highlight of the day....omlettes made to order, pancakes made to order, fried eggs, fruit/yogurt and loads of other stuff. Lunch was OK and dinner was just OK as well. I did find the food suprisingly fresh and well cooked...but just average and not much selection. The only thing I was bothered by were the little lizards that found their way into the room. Eeek. So for me it was perfect, had everything I needed without leaving for 4 days which was my goal. If you're sinlge and looking for nightlife at this resort...definitely not a good choice....carpets pretty much roll up around 9pm. Oh...the other problem were the beds. Mine was as hard as a rock....but you get used to it. Would be truely heaven if they changed them out for more comfortable mattresses. I don't think you can make a bad choice as far as room location. The bungalow of course was a real treat, but the hotel section that faced the ocean had balconies and you really weren't that far away from the sea. There were a few young families but not many. The elders loved the kids...but not much in the way of family activities to keep everyone busy. If your goal is to see the Island, have lots of activities and non-stop fun...you can probably find so

My chief complaint about the resort is that for the money we spent, I didn't see where any of that money went. The staff had a somewhat pleasant demeanor about them, but often would turn surly if you asked for something or had a complaint. There were 2 restaurants, but regardless there was only 1 dining option available for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The icing on the cake however was the plentiful amount of goat and pig feces that was spread across the property, that was never cleaned up. Also the feces party did not end once you entered one of the dining establishments, apparently netting is an alien concept for Rex management, so most of the dining room is covered in bird feces as well. Awesome. From what I've heard, if I were to do it again I'd stay at any other resort in Antigua.
