My wife and I chose Hawksbill for the value, good reviews, and quiet location with multiple beaches away from the crowds, and we were very happy with our stay. We saw a few negative reviews beforehand, but in our experience the treatment we received was far better than what we paid for.
Service: Most of the staff were friendly and helpful, especially the hosts and servers in the main restaurant. There was only one night with a short wait due to rain and more guests, but we were able to grab drinks at the bar while waiting. A few small hiccups (no towel attendant once, and luggage pickup didn’t arrive at checkout), and one less-friendly bartender on Eden Beach, but nothing that ruined the trip.
Food: Good quality and lots of variety. Fresh omelets at breakfast, strong salad options at lunch, and themed or special stations at dinner like BBQ, carved meats, and crepes. Plenty of fish and chicken dishes, plus good desserts and cheese selections.
Activities: Excellent massages at the wellness center — very professional and attentive. We also did a private beach dinner which was romantic and well worth it. Excursion boats can pick you up right at the resort, which is convenient.
Resort & Room: Very clean and well maintained. Beaches and common areas were cleaned daily. Our room was clean, a bit dated in the bathroom, but the mini-fridge was restocked daily with water, soda, and beer.
Insects/Wildlife: Bring bug spray — mosquitoes can be strong outside dining areas. Birds may grab unattended food, and there can be flies on calm beach days. We also saw goats on Eden Beach, which were fun to see.
Overall, this is a peaceful, good-value resort with beautiful beaches and solid service. We would definitely recommend Hawksbill and would gladly stay again.
