Hawksbill by Rex Resorts
$$$-$$$$, Five Islands
Fodor's Review:
"Location, location, location" is the hospitality industry mantra, and four secluded beaches (including one clothing-optional strand) compose this resort's main attraction. A backdrop of jade mountains, verdant grounds with landscaped walkways, restored sugar mill, and plantation-style cottages trimmed with gingerbread fretwork and radiant purple or orange bougainvillea maximize Hawksbill's old-time Caribbean feel. Garden-view rooms enjoy restricted water views, making them the best buy; the original air-conditioned Club units (especially 138-142) are isolated from the action, but hand-painted tilework, beamed vaulted ceilings, and superlative vistas make them the choice accommodations -- other than the restored, three-bedroom greathouse. Though a full slate of entertainment is on tap, the mix of honeymooners and mature couples is generally sedate, thanks to the restful surroundings.

relax in paradise
Posted by Angie from Brentwood, England on 1/26/06
We didnt chose The Hawksbill Beach Resort. It was a replacement for another hotel which had closed. But we could not have had a better upgrade for a holiday to sit and relax on a beautiful, almost private beach and watch glorious sunsets. Fabulous setting and comfortable rooms in a beach/garden layout. Very friendly and efficient staff. Limited entertainment(okay for honeymooners). Food is average but it's close enough to St.Johns for a better selection of restaurants. Loved the place.
