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!

“Stunning resort but the sunbeds shortage is a negative”

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 r… lisää

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.

“Great Service”

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.

“Overhyped and overpriced tired resort.”

Overhyped and overpriced moderate, tired resort. Meals at all restaurants are edible and bland at best, totally inedible at worst. One evening dinner was so over salty no credible chef would ever consider sending it out of their kitchen. Where in their promotional video does it mention that you ne… lisää

Overhyped and overpriced moderate, tired resort. Meals at all restaurants are edible and bland at best, totally inedible at worst. One evening dinner was so over salty no credible chef would ever consider sending it out of their kitchen. Where in their promotional video does it mention that you needed to get up no later than 04.00hrs to claim 2 sun beds at the paradise bar pool if you wish to have a sun umbrella. Alternatively you could pay the extortionate fees for a butler room and then they can lay claim to your sun beds on your behalf by placing a cool box on the table. Sandals executive need to wake up and smell their weak coffee and experience real 5 star accommodation at thousands of alternative resorts across the globe. 3 star (at best) resort charging 5 star prices. This was our first visit to a Sandals resort and I am certain that it will also be our last. If we’re paying 5 star prices I expect far better than the the service we received. Annie in Kelly’s restaurant was the one highlight of an otherwise dismal experience.
