Although some of the areas were tired and in need of an upgrade the general feeling was great. Shame the beach was closed on some days and that isn't made plain enough when booking. The staff were excellent and friendly and we never saw a sad face. Staying over Christmas meant special events and a visit from Mrs Santa (was... more

The best vacation I have ever had. My husband and I recently spent a week at Sandals Halcyon in St.Lucia. The customer service is the best I have ever experienced. The staff was very friendly, always smiling, upbeat and genuine. The resort grounds are incredible. Landscaped with flowers, lush greens and trees at every turn. Our room was very clean,... more

Our vacation started out kinda shaky with American Airlines losing our luggage. Che at the front desk got us 2 t-shirts, toothbrushes and toothpaste which took some of my edge off. We were given a lovely room that was right off the main pool. It was nice that we could wear out jeans to the Bayside to eat dinner, since... more

While this is the oldest of the three Sandals on St Lucia; it is also the smallest, most intimate and very accommodating. The staff are excellent and quickly took care of any problem. The accommodations were a bit dated but very comfortable and none are more than two floors high unlike the Grand or Regency which for the lower prices... more

My partner and I returned from a 2 week stay just before Xmas. We booked the holiday in Feb 08 so at that time it attracted minimal discounts, significant as we met many couples who had paid 50% less than we had having booked within a few weeks of departure. This is perhaps why we feel the Halcyon represented poor... more

We recently returned from 2 weeks holiday in St Lucia, at Sandals Halcyon Beach report. It was a really super, relaxing holiday. We spent many days around the 2 pools soaking up the sun and sampling the huge range of iced cocktails at the swim-up bars. When we felt more energetic, we could join in the programme of poolside and... more

If you are now very worried about going to the Halcyon...don't!!! We arrived on the 28th November for 2 weeks with an open mind as we had read most of the reviews. Let us put the record straight.For all you people who go with your nose in the air and are surly....keep away!!!....if you arrive wanting to have a relaxed... more

The Halcyon definitely falls well short of the advertised "luxury experience" and what one expects from the Sandals reputation. There was no luxury, peace and tranquility to be found with building works, guests smoking and drinking in the pools or being encouraged to take part in poolside bingo. In the ten days we spent there, seas were considered to be... more

This resort is pleasant enough but needs some major renovations and left me feeling that I paid too much for what i got. The bathroom was not very pleasant and didnt get cleaned well enough for me. The room that we were in was an oceanview and we did see the ocean. It rained almost every day that we were... more
