"My girlfriend and I planned this trip for an affordable Caribbean getaway. Hawksbill resort far exceeded our expectations. The food was absolutely outstanding and we have high standards. The local staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. The beaches were glorious. We talked to several locals who say that hawksbill has some of the best beaches. We care mostly about the beach and resort but the room was also great. Many couples we talked to have been coming back for years and we’ll likely be one of them!"
"I was at this hotel for 7 nights during a conference with some relaxation after. In the centre of St John's this isn't a beach hotel. Very convenient if you want to be in town. Friendly staff and spacious rooms. Good value for the price and hotel rating."
"Spent our honeymoon there, our room was upgraded for us which was very nice.
All inclusive Breakfast, lunch, Dinner and drinks were delicious.
Rooms were clean, housekeeping came daily.
Beaches were ok, lots of seaweed. But amazing ocean view.
Overall stay was great. I would visit again for our anniversary.
Service staff and taxi drivers were very polite, welcoming and knowledgeable about the island :)"
"Fabulous hotel. Rooms are very well decorated and very well equipped for cooking if you want to cook. Staff are all lovely. Oscar is a lovely young man and very friendly. Well placed for the beach and eating at Salt Plage. Straight out of the gate and your sunbed awaits. Very nice swimming pool as well"
"Food and service were outstanding, 5 star. We liked that the menus changed daily, particularly for dinner. Didn’t come across a single staff member that was not friendly, they genuinely seemed to care that we were happy and everyone was more than happy to talk with us. Bartenders made great drinks, not watered down and it was top shelf. We were there October 21-27, beach was pretty much empty. Property is very well kept. The beach is not like a lake, it does have waves, which we liked. Gym was nice, had what we needed.
If I had any suggestions to make, enforce dress code at night (pants and shoes are required for men, but many wore shorts and flip flops to dinner) and the rooms could use a little updating (e.g., no bathroom exhaust fan), but they definitely were perfectly fine. These are very minor things.
Thanks to all the staff for making it such a great vacation. We will be back next year, if not sooner!"
"A bif difficult to get our room clean. We requested 2 cleanings for the week but they did not come the second time. I let housekeeping know she aaid we were not on the schedule. We were able to pick up towels. This was the only issue and the view sure made up for it."
The Verandah Antigua - All Inclusive - Adults Only
8/10 Good
"The property seems dated but its well maintained. The staff is AMAZING. The grounds are BEAUTIFUL. There is a good variety of food....you won't go hungry no matter what time it is. It's a very large property but there's cart transportation thats always available. What can be improved? (1) There is no ATM on the property, we had to venture out to find one....scary (2) its an all-inclusive resort but you have to pay to have your in-room fridge stocked...why? (3) booking our scuba dive was cumbersome...they don't offer assistance at the resort and all of the diving is on the other side of the island...approx $100 in taxi fees. Still it was a wonderful vacation and we would visit again."
