The Caribbean’s Newest All-Inclusive Is a “Classic and Comfortable” Adults-Only Bungalow Resort With Four Beaches
An infinity pool with a view of Antigua’s iconic Hawksbill Rock. Classic 1960s looks. Outdoor showers. Four different white sand beaches. A true boutique feel.
The legendary Hawskbill resort in Antigua is back, and it’s got a totally new look following a significant upgrade to the whole property, one that covered everything from new decks to better beach access to the aforementioned pool.
It’s a new look for one of Antigua’s best-known properties, a 106-room retreat that is instantly one of the region’s new must-visit adults-only hideaways.
It’s a property that’s all about the feel — a mix of midcentury charm and authentic Caribbean flavor, with the kind of space that Antigua and Barbuda specializes in: 30 acres of it.
Then there are those beaches: four of them, from the private Sea Grapes beach to the hidden-away stretch of sand called Honeymoon Cove to the endlessly long Royal Palm Beach.

If it all sounds familiar, it’s because it’s the latest addition to the Caribbean Beach Cottages portfolio, which includes the lovely boutique Keyonna Beach hotel (a property we’ve long raved about) and the COCOS Hotel, both part of Antigua’s enviable collection of all-inclusive resorts.
Antigua is famous for its all-inclusive resorts, and with good reason: the twin-island hotspot is home to the best collection of all-inclusives, well, anywhere, from larger retreats to secret, intimate hotels. We’ve stayed at all of the island’s top properties, and Hawskbill is another fine addition and fits right in to the island’s mix of intimate luxury and laid-back cool.
