Hawksbill is less than two miles from the ship, as the crow flies.

There are no beaches in Antigua similar to Orient Beach with it's multitude of beach bars, etc. Although there are plenty of beautiful beaches in Antigua.

Went to Hawksbill last year. Beautiful secluded beach. About fifteen minute cab ride, I think it cost twenty dollars and he scheduled to come back and retrieve us in the afternoon. Tell the guard your just there to use the beach and there is no fee, although you can pay for inclusive if you choose, but you will have to walk from the natural beach to the bar and restaurant . Walk straight down the road from the guard shack, at the main building go down the steps to the beach area and follow the beach around till it ends , then go through a small gate and you'll go over a short bluff to the natural beach. When we were there, there were about six couples on what seemed like a mile of beach. A wonderful place, my wife liked it better then Orient. The resort is also very beautiful.

 

Here's the posting from last year with a little more info
