My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sandals Halcyon Beach. It was our first time to that Sandals resort, but certainly not our last. Back in 2014 we fell in love with Sandals Royal Plantation in Jamaica and have vacationed there many times since. We asked Dacia, the Loyalty Program Manager at Royal Plantation, to recommend another Sandals resort that is similar to the Royal Plantation. She immediately recommended Halcyon Beach. Her recommendation was spot on. Wow! What an amazing place. The staff, facilities, grounds, and restaurants are amazingly exceptional. Though everyone we encountered at Halcyon Beach was amazing, there are quite a few individuals that we would like to acknowledge for their exceptional customer service... Butlers - Sylvie, Learie, Gina D, and Rea Bartenders - Vince, Ryan, Kareem, Chris, Kayla, Makala, Waynelle (sp?) Rec/Entertainment - Adam, Jenny from the Block Others - Shana (Manager), Michelle (Loyalty Mgr), Ross (Photo), Raj (F&B), Zacc (Gift Shop), and Zenith (Spa) This group of amazing people went above and beyond to make our stay at Halcyon Beach an amazing experience.

Novon, Damien, Leila and Cassie from the Grande were great. They all made us feel at home and were a so friendly. We have never been so relaxed. Club Sandals staff was wonderful. Angeline you were the best. Ronnel at the front desk remembered I had lost my glasses and even remebetwd the style so when I walked past he made sure I came and got them. They really go above and beyond to make you feel at home. We will definitely be back. Oh I cannot forget Vanessa and celine at the Red Lane Spa best massages ever!!! Truly the trip of a lifetime. An amazing beautiful country with beautiful people!! Read less

visited here whilst staying at the grand St Lucien we intended to stay for the afternoon/evening as it was part of the other 2 sandals you could visit on the Island however after arriving at 12am it was very clear that it was a glorified holiday camp we had a brief lunch in the buffet restaurant nothing special where most of the food was all uncovered in the open air with birds eating the salad where as in the Grande buffet it is behind large automatic doors and not exposed to the elements ..........we had a quick look at the beach which was a very narrow strip and encountered 2 guests that had been trying to get home as very unhappy ..........I turned to my husband and said how quickly can we get out of here ...........we had 5 mins to run to the shuttle back 2 hrs was as much as i could manage ..............very clever photoshopped pictures draw you in .and of course its cheaper than the grande but massive differences all round !.........

Broken glass and bottle caps all over the beach. Bird poop all over the beach chair cushions. They allow beach vendors to Hitchin at the edge of the pool deck to harass people at the pool. If you've been to any other sandals you probably know that Bayside is basically the end of the restaurant scale it's an exception here Bayside buffet is the best food you'll find and it ain't that great We paid for the most expensive room at the resort we got champagne the first two days and never again. The cheap coffee maker drips constantly and it was on the floor dried up for the seven days we were there never cleaned once. No electric outlets of any kind in the bathroom. Was told we had a private plunge pool there's absolutely nothing private about it it's on a major walkway with no hedge no curtain no nothing. Someone burst a bunch of balloons and they ended up in our pool for three days before they were cleaned up. Had to beg our butlers to refill our minibar I am used to butlers at other sandals resort Antigua and south coast. There they anticipate your needs And you never have to beg for anything. The water is murky and there are a lot of rocks they have a drainage ditch that stun with garbage that runs direct to the ocean from their maintenance area. I'll never go back and probably never visit another sandals if this is a possibility ever again Read less

The staff here is amazing!! My husband and I eloped here and we can't say enough good things about it. There were a couple hiccups early on but the staff here really goes above and beyond to make sure you have the best experience imaginable. The whole onsite wedding team is great, but special shout-out to Nadege and Techla. The two of them really did everything they could to make sure our day was perfect and special. Halcyon is a smaller resort, so what one manager knows they all know, and will all join in to make sure things are right. From little touches to big gestures, it felt like everyone joined in to ensure that we were happy. Also, this review would not be complete without mentioning the bartender Vince. We found him at the Beach Bistro Bar and the Paradise Bar by the quiet pool. Not only is he a great bartender but he is a wonderful person that looks out for the guests as well. Anyone that has been to a Sandals, or any all-inclusive, knows that the staff can make or break your stay. The Halcyon staff definitely made our vacation, and our wedding, everythng we could have hoped it would be. Read less
