Hawksbill - Adults Only

We stayed at Hawksbill from 19th July – 2nd August, returning for our second consecutive year. We never usually go back to the same resort twice, but Hawksbill truly stole our hearts last year — it’s the kind of place that stays with you long after you leave.From the moment we arrived, we were greeted at reception with a glass of Prosecco and a warm “welcome home,” which instantly made us feel relaxed and appreciated.Our Garden View Bungalow (76) had a stunning sea view. It was gorgeous waking up, opening the curtains and patio doors, and seeing the ocean right from bed. The bungalow itself was a little dated but spotlessly clean, with a huge, comfortable queen‑size bed and excellent air conditioning. We actually preferred this room to the one next door we had last year (74), which had two smaller double beds and felt a bit cramped. Our friends stayed in Garden View Bungalow 69, which has been newly renovated. Their room was slightly smaller but beautifully updated, with a lovely side porch and a great sea view — they absolutely loved it. During our first couple of days we relaxed by the infinity pool, but there was a slight smell in that area so we decided to spend the rest of our holiday on the gorgeous Seagrapes Beach. It was perfect — just a few steps from our bungalow,and so easy to nip back to the toilet or grab cold drinks from our fridge. It became our favourite spot for the whole stay. We visited Eden Beach twice to see the pigs and the adorable piglets — such a fun little highlight of the trip. There’s a small drinks hut there where you can grab water, soft drinks and a really good rum punch. The only niggle we had was the bit of rubbish left around the bin by the hut, which did spoil the area slightly, but it didn’t take away from how lovely the beach itself was. We had lunch at PD’s Grill once during our stay and were really impressed — it has hugely improved since last year. We loved sitting there enjoying the view over Hawksbill Bay and Hawksbill Rock, which is absolutely stunning. A lovely new addition this year is Seagrapes Bar staying open until 7pm. We really enjoyed sitting there with a glass of Prosecco, watching the amazing sunsets — it became one of our favourite parts of the day. Another great change is Seagrapes Restaurant now opening in the evenings as a sit‑down, waitress‑service menu is quite limited and many items come with an additional fee, but what we ordered without extra charge was delicious, and the service was brilliant. restaurant. It’s a wonderful addition. Egbert makes the best eggs benedict — we had ours with smoked salmon and a glass of buzz fizz, and it was the perfect start to each day. Overall, all the food was amazing. The only let‑down was BBQ night. We’d been raving about it to our friends because last year it was a proper outdoor BBQ with grills set up outside. This year the BBQ was inside at the cooking station We had the majority of our meals in the Tamarind Tree. The entertainment at Hawksbill is very good — we really enjoyed the fireman show, the bands and the singers. Evening entertainment runs from 8pm–10pm, but we personally feel it would work better from 9pm–11pm, as many guests (including us) are still having dinner at 8pm. It can be difficult to chat over a meal or join in with the entertainment, especially when the bands and DJ are encouraging people get up and dance.The only downside was DJ Fenton. He tended to stop tracks abruptly, and when people finally got up to dance he would suddenly switch to something completely random,which cleared the floor more than once. It was a shame, as the atmosphere was great otherwise. Gerald took us out on the Hobie Cat, which was great fun. Another really great addition this year is the golf cart service for guests with mobility issues — we hitched a ride a couple of times and it was great fun as well as really helpful. I know I’ve mentioned a few staff by name, but truly everyone who works at Hawksbill is friendly, smiling, polite, and goes above and beyond — from the groundsmen and housekeeping to the bar staff, restaurant team and reception.We had an amazing two‑week holiday and genuinely did not want to leave; I actually cried in the taxi on the way back to the airport. Would we return to Hawksbill in a few years? In a heartbeat.

Excellent experience and beautiful beach and pool. Amit (Food and Beverage Manager) was the perfect host. We loved our stay.

Very quiet resort. When I booked it was adults-only, but there are children here. Only 2 bars. Got super busy on Wednesday as the other restaurant is closed during dinner time. The buffet didn’t have enough tables so we had to wait 20 minutes. And then they ran out of plates so we had to wait for that. I finished my dinner and then my coke came lol. Takes a very long time. Sea grapes restaurant, we had a reservation at 8pm and we only got seated at 8:30 and food took a very long time to come. Not a lot of food options for dinner at buffet if you are vegan.

Definitely bring a water bottle. They have 2 water stations to fill up your water. They do not give you plastic water bottles. In the middle of the night I was so thirsty and I refused to drink tap water.

Bedroom and bathroom is very nice! Staff is very nice and friendly! Beaches on resort were very clean and beautiful!
