Sandals Halcyon Beach

Enjoyed a week here before moving onto Barbados. The grounds are very well maintained with many beautiful flowers, plants and birds. Beach is clean with a good selection of water sports. Drink choice and brands were excellent, cocktails were delicious. No issue getting a sunbed despite the usual selfish guests reserving some. First experience with Sandals and some disappointment given it’s positive reputation. Our room was big but tired, lacked a modern touch. Would’ve liked to use the bath but it looked old and uninviting. Air con system was good. Housekeeping was good but doors left open allowed mosquitos to enter. Food was good but waiting times were too long, staff work very hard but there clearly isn’t enough of them to cover demand. Loved the pizza van idea for takeaway or eat in a outdoor peaceful spot. Lots of evening entertainment for those who want it, fire pits dotted about for those wanting a quieter evening. Superb hot tub with a lovely sea view which we loved daily. Loved St Lucia and had a lovely time, not sure if it needs to be a Sandals resort in the future ?? The grounds made it for us, humming birds and immaculate care of plants.

This resort was a dream ! The resort staff is so welcoming. We loved Sassy Sam& Le Shaun the Don as our poolside entertainment hosts!

Fabulous hotel with all of the amenities you could ever need to make a truly memorable holiday. Situated on a beautiful beach, water sports centre was great and excellent choice of places to eat. The staff were particularly amazing, they could not have been more warm, friendly and welcoming, happy to take care of anything for you. Would highly recommend this special place!

We have been to many sandals resorts, and this one might be the smallest, but most intimate resort with the most beautiful plants and foliage on the grounds! The people at this resort, made our trip! Extremely friendly! There are only seven restaurants at this resort however, you will have no problem finding something to eat that is delicious! We were not even on the resort for 30 minutes and the assistant general manager escorted us to a restaurant for dinner ( winfred winebeer ) that’s how you’re made to feel important, the general manager Sharon was out and about on the resort every day, not hiding in an office! Angell at Kelly’s Dockside is my new family member! If you find a better personality than Captain Neil, I would be shocked! Berthelina at Bayside got our day off to the best start each morning! She gave me a new nickname! “ Red Hat Bill” —- Adrian at the pool was a 10+ year employee and wore the pin proud! We met Cuthbert the bartender on his first day and each day after he announced to us which day it was, day, two, day three etc. and always with a smile!

This was an absolutely incredible vacation. We booked a Shore House Butler Suite w/Balcony Tranquility Soaking Tub and it exceeded every expectation we had. Our butlers were Ria, Christa and Tyler and they were incredible. Every need we had was met with the best customer service we’ve ever experienced. Everyone was so friendly and had incredible energy. This is the fist vacation I think I’ve ever been on where I truly didn’t want to leave at the end of the trip.
