To celebrate this special year rex resorts will be offering all guests at Hawksbill extra treats and complimentary surprises. So, don´t miss out on the anniversary celebrations, book your stay at Hawksbill today.

Why our guests love the Hawksbill...

Many of our guests return to our resorts time and time again. Karen Stone and her family are big fans of Hawksbill by rex resorts. Here is an extract from an article she wrote following her last visit in February. The full version is available on our website.

"People often ask me why do you keep returning to the same place time after time when there is the whole world to discover and explore?"

"…Hawksbill is not just a place... it rejuvenates and renews the soul and quite simply brings back what I call "The Joy" in your life!"

"I first came to Hawksbill in Xmas 1998 with my husband Mike, son Tom and Parents Wendy and Richard Lloyd. Mum and Dad had been coming since 1987 at different times of the year. I have now been 4 times as I say the last was just last month and I cannot begin to express how much I still love the place."

"...What is lovely is the rooms are fitted out in a Caribbean style with open shutters and a ceiling fan which wafts air round the room; thankfully there is no air conditioning, no telephone, no TV. Now to some this would be a hardship but for those who truly want to escape and there are thousands of us I can tell you, this is part of the joy of the hotel."
