We had a wonderful relaxing week at Halcyon, and especially enjoyed the accommodations and the beautiful landscaping. The staff is friendly and helpful, from the manager to housekeeping; they really try to meet your every need. The entertainment was fun and high quality, thank you Dylan for your energy and enthusiasm! The overall food quality wasn’t as good as expected, which was our only disappointment. We send a very special thanks to our butlers Learie, Krysta, and Silvie who worked hard to make every day so special! We greatly appreciate all of your efforts and attention to detail. Celine is a skilled massage therapist; absolutely the best! Restaurant servers Cassandra and Trista were great. We also appreciated spending some time with Melissa in sales, and meeting GM Sharon. Thanks to all of you for helping to make our time at Halcyon so fantastic!

This was our 3rd visit and we love it here especially the friendly and fun staff. We love the beachfront rooms but truly wish they came with sun loungers as the cafe style chairs are uncomfortable to use all day. Especially this year we very rarely found an empty sunbed before 4pm as so many are reserved at dawn by butlers/guests who may or may not even bother to use them but who don’t remove their towels so no one knows what’s being used and what isn’t! It’s a shame Sandals don’t enforce a policy on this as it’s becoming a negative. However the resort atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing, Bayside View breakfasts are awesome, Kimonos is a fun experience and the gardens are absolutely beautiful.

Fantastic holiday. Great hotel. Fairly small compared to other Sandals resorts but everything you need although we felt a couple of extra restaurants would be good. The staff here are amazing, super friendly and helpful. Shout out to Zenith from the spa for a great facial. Also our brilliant butlers Tylar, Cristal and Shaun. Nothing too much trouble, looked after us, very attentive but not 'in your face' 😄. Thank you to Tennille at travel and loyalty who always looks after us 🥰. Overall great, felt a couple of area's could do with some updating. Gordon's for example, think so much more could be done with this as a venue. Only other negative, people reserving sunbeds at stupid o' clock...really! I would have been fuming if I didn't have a butler. Beds all taken very early due to the childish selfish behaviour of some guests. Reserving 4 beds for 2 people so they can move from sun to shade! 😡 Also people putting towels on beds and not using them.

We vacationed at Halcyon last week and it was a great vacation. Berthelina was warm and welcoming every morning when we had breakfast at Bayside. She always remembered that I sweeten my coffee with honey so she would bring some over without me asking, I truly appreciated that gesture.

3/14 to 3/21/2026 We stayed in a Rondaval Suite at Halcyon. The Rondavals are only a couple of years old. The craftsmanship and attention to detail in the Rondavals really surprised me. It was our first visit to Saint Lucia. We have stayed at Sandals Curacao, South Coast and Barbados in the past. Here are a few of our thoughts while we wait for our flight back to Atlanta. Resort: The Halcyon is Sandals 2nd smallest resort and was well laid out and felt very quaint. The maintenance of this resort is exceptional considering it was open in the 1990s. There are no high rise buildings which adds to the Halcyon charm. The landscaping is exceptional with flowers everywhere you look. The beach had very little sargassum. The beaches were raked every morning. Morning beach walks were very enjoyable. We had dinner one night at Gordons at the Grande. Transfers ran every two hours and it took about 15 minutes. Staff: Silveria and Laurie were out butlers and they provided exceptional service. We really had a good time with our butlers. They were very accommodating and went the extra mile to make sure our stay was special. We arrived early to the resort and Jaselyn was exceptionally welcoming and had a beautiful voice while singing a welcome song for us. Claire was our favorite waitress and served us at Kelly’s and Beachside Bistro. She was very friendly with a beautiful smile. Melissa sat with us at the returning members award dinner. Melissa is one of the Sales Managers and we had a great time at dinner. She followed up with us several times during our stay and it made us feel special. Tennille helped us book our next Sandals trip to Antigua. She did a great job helping us explore our options. Temaka from the Red Line Spa handled my wife’s facial and she came back looking radiant. I must commend Sandals on their staff. It is obvious that Sandals cares about their employees by the amount of years the staff has worked at the Halcyon. You can tell the employees are happy to work at the Halcyon by how they treat their guests. Food: The food was good, especially at Kelly’s Dockside. The Crab Cakes are amazing!!! Joshua cooked for us at Kimonos. He made the dinner entertaining and delicious. Bayside food was good and had a different theme every night. Water Sports: I became PADI Open Water Certified while at Halcyon. I was rather nervous and felt I may be too old to take up this type of hobby. Nash did my pool training and Tiny did my four open water dives. I felt safe and entertained at all times. These guys are awesome! I can’t wait to go diving on my next Sandals trip. While diving with Tiny I was able to see two sea turtles and two Stingrays. Tiny pointed out flounders, eels and many other types of marine life. This was an experience I’ll never forget. Kudos to Sandals Management for providing us an exceptional resort to vacation. Sandals tries to make everyone’s experience as close to perfect as possible. We hope to return soon!
