Sandals Halcyon embodies all of the luxury and service one would ever hope to experience with Sandals. Small intimate resort with big experiences and adventues. There are three resorts in St. Lucia all reasonably close allowing guest to experience more of the island with Sandals.

This is our second time to Sandals Halcyon! Last year July 2023 and this year July 2024. Without planning or knowing about it, this year we arrived literally at the start of St Lucia’s Carnival!! Halcyon had a tent set up on the parade route with rum punch! We also got to enjoy fresh coconuts!! Great experience enjoying the local culture!! The weather both times at Halcyon was very nice and tropical! This time my sister and her husband came with us! We also had our first Butler room staying at any Sandals resorts! 1BP Beachfront Private Pool Sanctuary. We want to thank our butlers Vibert, Ria and Marva! They all are so awesome!!! They worked really hard to make sure we were having a great vacation! They even went above and beyond and reserved pool chairs for my sister and her husband. They also would bring them snacks. I never asked them to do that and mind you my sister did not have a butler room. Having a Butler is very helpful when reserving dinner times especially at the two other Sandals resorts in St. Lucia!! Marva actually reserved four beach chairs when we went to the Grande!!! Having a private pool by our room was very nice to have at the end of the day to chill out!! Halcyon is our favorite of the three Sandals resorts on St. Lucia! The Grande is very nice and we went there for half a day. When we returned and were dropped off by the shuttle that’s included my sister made a comment how more tropical Halcyon is! There is not one building on Halcyon that is taller than the palm trees. We just love the tropical feel and more chilled and quiet vibe here. We also want to say thanks to the Halcyon Club Sandals staff - Lloni, Sachelle, and everyone that made our vacation so awesome. One of our favorite Club Sandals that we have dealt with!! I also want to thank Michelle in Loyalty who helped us booked our return trip to Halcyon in 2026! She is the person to go to if you book another Sandals Vacation! She is very knowledgeable and efficient! Another shout out to the amazing bartending staff!! Makayla who makes the best Mojitos, Ryan, Vincent and Chris! Thanks to all the rest of the staff at all the restaurants who provided great service. Food was great! We did do two off sites excursions both were snorkeling trips. One was included if you have at least a club room and the other was a private snorkeling trip to the Pitons!! I booked the private one with Kenda at the Aqua Center. Kenda was great to deal with. She organized it very well! Both trips were great but the Snorkeling between the Pitons was amazing!!! Saw all kinds of fish, a puffer fish, baby squid up close and an eel! Our water guide Wendy was really awesome on both snorkeling trips!!! My sister is a novice to snorkeling and Wendy stayed near her the whole time!! It made my sister’s snorkeling experience very memorable!! We made a stop to picturesque Marigot on the way back!! We had an amazing time again at Halcyon and can’t wait to return in 2026!! Read less

We just came home from a week in paradise. This was our eighth Sandals vacation. We were at Halcyon 22 years ago. More recently, Sandals Grand St. Lucia, Montego Bay, Negril and Royal Plantation. For food quality and service, Sandals Halcyon Beach was superior to all of them. Staff : our butler team of Ginna, Gibson and Willard was exceptional. Food service : Never had poor service. A few stand-outs were Delores for breakfast and John for dinner at Kelly's. The hotel manager, Andrea approached us a few times and he was very professionally concerned about our opinions and open for suggestions. We were caught in a heavy down-pour one night and Michiah from Concierge was walking by with an umbrella and kindly escorted us to the Club Lounge and secured us our own umbrella. The grounds were beautifully maintained with a variety of tropical plants. The beach was groomed every day by the life guard staff. The ocean didn't have the appearance of Rodney Bay at the Grande, but the water was very clear when you went out a few feet. We stayed in one of the new Shore House Butler Suites with private pool and it was amazing. We suggest it for a special occasion. They offered a variety of evening entertainment with a terrific fire show. In conclusion, you will not go wrong with Sandals Halcyon beach if you are looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation in a luxury resort. Read less
