Anyone been to Hawksbill Resort in Antigua? Looking for another clothing optional resort. Any trip reports would be appreciated

We have been to Hawksbill Resort twice for one day off a cruise ship some years ago. Resort is not c/o - just one of the resort's four beaches is c/o. The beach, called Eden Beach is big and beautiful. The two times we were there very few guests went to Eden Beach. Also both times, there were a few single men standing around who made us, especially my wife, uncomfortable. The resort itself seemed very nice. The vast majority of the guests were from the UK or Canada - very British vibe.

Snorkeller--our experience is also very dated, from a cruise ship. As I recall, the day we were there, there were maybe two other people there. No creepy vibe.

As he said, it's not a c/o RESORT, just a beach that is c/o.

We stayed there for a week. I'll try to be short. The nude beach is on the far end and you need reasonable walking shoes to walk the man-made stone path and help avoid poop from the feral pigs and goats that roam part of the beach. Lots of baby pigs when we were there. There are lots of rocks to keep you from getting into ocean but there are couple spots to enter. (close to where you walk in and the animals roam and just past the building) No public bathrooms near by so the ocean maybe your only option.
The rooms are really small and if you plan to stay there contact them in advance and find out which rooms are remodeled because the non remodeled rooms are pretty dated. (ie not worth the price)
Many of the rooms now have AC in them and very strong/cool. Most should have TVs but ask before reserving your room type.
The all inclusive meals needs LOTS of improvement. Very little selection. Breakfast was barely ok. Lunch is limited ala carte and service is very slow. You’ll end up being tired of the same things in a few days. Dinner was very disappointing: buffet only.... 1 chicken item, 1 meat, 1 fish, 1 pork. (that all seemed to be prepared hours before dinner) Beans and rice every night. (very British meals) 1 potato. Limited to 2 salads. Some desserts and plenty of flies. Oh and dining seating can be under the stars unless it’s raining, then you’ll be eating under the rain drops AND it did rain a lot in December, around the dinner hour. There is limited seating under a roof.
Textile beaches were terrific. Plenty of open seating areas in the textile section. The nude section did run out of chairs a few times.
Few other notes: Lots of walking and not recommend for someone that has mobility issues. The walk to breakfast/dinner location is about 2.5 flights of stairs or a very long winding walk.
Towel hut opened for about 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour in the late afternoon and often out of towels and sometimes not even at the hut during the 1 hour period.
Property is near NOTHING. So don’t expect to walk to a restaurant or another property.
The taxi ride is about ~20km from the airport and takes over an hour.
In conclusion we never plan to return. Too many options with better food and rooms for similar price.

Reached a verdict from your review before your last sentence. Juice not worth the squeeze.
