Reviews for Sandals Halcyon Beach

Five Stars even with average food

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 12 hours ago

We were at Halcyon Beach from Dec 15-22., for our 29th anniversary. This was our first Sandals vacation. We had such a fantastic time even the subpar food didn’t knock off a star. I will get to that later. I don’t know or care if this is an older resort or some rooms need “freshening up”. We had a club-level oceanfront walkout room with an outdoor soaking tub and an indoor one too. My only room complaint was the open shower setup was frustrating because that part of the room floods on both sides every time you use it. Glass doors would help. Our room, 105, was one of the select ones that a momma hen and her 3 chicks would visit each morning. Very polite. We loved the location, not far from anything but not close enough to hear the nightly entertainment. We had the sound of waves breaking 24/7. This was my husband’s #1 bucket item and he got it. The main pool isn’t large and the deck chairs surround it 3-rows deep, but it still feels intimate. The swim up bartenders were fantastic, and I have to give a shoutout to Vince! I can’t drink alcohol and he came up with fantastic mocktails. We discovered the “quiet pool” at the back of the resort, it too has a swim up bar. I loved the layout of Halcyon Beach, especially the intimate sitting or lounging areas that are liberally scattered throughout the property. Management was on point for anything we needed or wanted. They were accommodating and friendly. The food….well. Soy was good for sushi and Kimonos sounded like fun while we were there. We ate at the Kimonos at Le Toc and it was just like every strip mall Japanese hibachi restaurant. The meat was chewy and tough, no flavor and the dessert was a mystery. Mushy texture and flavorless. We did have a good dinner our first night at Bayside. From what I could tell, they do French cooking well. Not great but good. Marios was awful. Worst filet we ever had and my gnocchi was one step above mashed potatoes. Breakfast and lunch buffets were plentiful, but again, the flavors were bland. I had expected much better from a resort in the heart of Caribbean creole cooking. We never got any of that. To be honest, the best meals we had were on a catamaran cruise and at the Friday night street part at Rodney Bay. Despite our disappoint with the food, we loved the resort and the island. Would not hesitate to recommend

Wedding at Halcyon

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

We got married on New Year’s Eve at Halcyon and the wedding crew (Shandulla and Micky) were absolutely amazing! Highly recommend. Food was good but service was impeccable. Rooms were great and loved that the resort is smaller and more easy to navigate.

Honeymoon at Halcyon

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

My husband and I just got back from our honeymoon at sandals Halcyon. It was absolutely amazing and we couldn’t have picked a better location. A couple shoutouts to our butler, Silvie, who was kind and more than helpful. Samani, a staff member who made our evenings fun and always checked on us. And lastly, Aaron, our waiter for our candle lit beach dinner. He was so kind and professional. The morning after our dinner he came to our room before we woke up and left a heart of flowers on the lawn in-front of our room. Overall we had no complaints and would absolutely go back to another sandals resort. And a note to Aaron, sak kap fet!

Not sure if it's Sandals

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

During my recent stay at what was supposed to be a Sandals resort, I was left feeling quite disappointed, especially when comparing to the high standards Sandals usually upholds. Upon arrival, I noticed that the sauna and steam room facilities for women were non-functional, and the steam room in the men's section was also out of order, a major letdown for those looking to unwind. In the room, the bed was oddly positioned in front of all the light switches and power sockets, making it quite a nuisance to access them. Furthermore, the absence of a physical 'Do Not Disturb' sign was combined by the digital DND light not working, and the doorbell wasn’t working. Additionally, basic amenities such as shower caps were missing. Dining at the resort's restaurants also left much to be desired. Soy, one of the dining venues, was notably small with very limited menue, and there was no sandy toes restaurant (and many more) where one might enjoy a meal with the sand between their toes, something that many guests look forward to. Another inconvenience was the blinds on the room doors, which would unhelpfully open each time the door was closed. To top it all off, when the bathrobes were given for washing, they were not replaced, leaving us without the comfort of a robe during our stay. Moreover, there was an unsettling moment when a garden umbrella was about to fall from the room above, posing a safety risk and further highlighting the lack of attention to detail. These issues collectively detracted from the luxury experience that Sandals is renowned for, making this stay fall far below the bar set by previous Sandals visits elsewhere.
