The food was good. The room was amazing. The only thing I would not recommend is the massages/spa. It was done in an open gazebo in the middle of the resort. The massages them selves were not great and definitely not worth it. Other than the massages I would highly recommend this resort and the butler services. Great stay and look forward to going again!

We stayed at the Halcyon in April 2024 and would highly recommend this resort for couples wanting a peaceful and very relaxing holiday! The whole ambiance of the hotel is designed to make you feel relaxed and very welcome. We stayed in a poolside lagoon room overlooking the lazy river. The rooms are very spacious and clean, our room attendant/maid COLETTE was always friendly and kept our room clean and comfortable. 😘 The gardens and grounds are immaculate and all the restaurants here serve amazing food! At Mario’s we were extremely well looked after, first by ANGELLE and on our second visit we had exceptional service from DARNELL !! DARNELL certainly knows how to make you feel special and his lovely personality and kindness was first class…. This young man needs to be promoted to a butler!! He really is charming! 😁 Our other favourite place was the Bistro bar near the beach… always busy because of its delicious food so please be patient with the staff as they do their best to accommodate everyone! …. Just have another cocktail while you are waiting! 😉 A special mention for JIMMY ( our fellow Arsenal supporter!) and the amazing DELORES who works tirelessly to keep everyone happy. Special mention also to JAYDEN! He served us on the beach every day with his collection of cocktails to try! Always smiling and happy, nothing was too much trouble. If you visit the shop across from reception then BELLE & PEARL will serve you very well 👍 The only thing we could suggest improvement on would be… where the evening entertainment is, that more chairs are brought outside for guests to sit on around that area, instead of guests having to turn around the pools sunbeds to sit/lay on… If you like the beach as we do, you will probably have to get up quite early to grab a subbed and shade!! We can’t comment on Sandals own boat tours as we chose to use Benny boat tours on the beach. James their “rep” on the beach is very charming to get your booking but their boat was 35mins late turning up and because of this they missed out on part of the schedule “bat cave” and it was a very speedy return to the hotel on the way back! ALSO we were told all the food and drink was included but when we got to the restaurant for the meal we were told we had to pay for our drinks!! ALSO just be aware that after taking a deposit from us.. we were told we would need to pay $530 balance during the trip but because they had a different exchange rate this ended up at $568… We visited Le Grande on the shuttle service and whilst this is a lovely hotel is was extremely busy and everything on a much bigger scale….We realised we had definitely chosen the right resort of Halcyon for us! THANK YOU HALCYON FOR A SPECIAL HOLIDAY 😎 Read less

First time at a Sandals resort but hopefully won't be the last! Our Sandals experience at Halcyon Beach was excellent from start to finish. Lovely little touches such as the welcome song. It was also great to have the use of a shower room on our last day as we had a late evening flight, meaning we could still enjoy our time in the sun. Thank you to the Reception staff for sorting this out for us. We never had a bad meal during our stay. The quality and choice of food was outstanding, whether it was at the buffet style restaurant or from a menu with table service. It was also very easy to book for the 2 restaurants that required advance booking. Also outstanding was the service received from all the staff, Sandals should be very proud of them. We can't mention them all, but special thanks to Zakiya, Casandra, Mauritia, Jo, Jaden and of course Vince. Read less
