This stay was a dream come true for us, 10 years in the making. In our books it is kind of pricey, however, it was well worth the money. Sandals Halcyon in St. Lucia was a quiet and laid back kind of resort. Not a bunch of hoopla, loud music and partying. Just perfect for us. We very much enjoyed the restaurants and everything else the resort had to offer. The one think I must say is that the staff made the stay even better. It is very obvious that these employees love their job. None of them ever walked by us with out saying hello and wishing us a good morning, good evening, etc. They all went above and beyond to make our stay the best it could be.
We visited the Sandals Grande once during our stay and that resort was not our kind of vibe. It was very crowded and was very much the party scene, we only stayed for the food.
On that note, we very much recommend the Sandals Halcyon to anyone wishing to go to an all inclusive resort that is laid back and relaxing.

My husband and I loved this resort! We stayed in one of the beachfront rooms with an outdoor soaking tub. The room was perfect and the outdoor area had a curtain for privacy, which was perfect as the path in front of the room was pretty well-traveled. Housekeeping kept the room pristine and well-stocked. While you can travel between resorts via Sandals shuttles, we did not feel it was necessary as the food, beach, and pool were amazing. There is a pretty good assortment of food options that range from beach casual to dressed up (dress for women and dress pants for the guys). The beach was quiet and we never had a problem finding chairs. There were some locals on the beach trying to sell souvenirs, but they were not too bothersome. I would recommend booking any excursions through the resort as it gave me peace of mind, especially knowing that transport was prearranged. Everyone was very, very friendly, and we were informed that this resort is the quietest of the three Sandals resorts on the island, which was perfect for us. Overall the trip was amazing and we plan to return!
As an FYI: I also highly recommend the Catamaran sunset cruise with snorkeling. As far as I saw, there were not opportunities to snorkel ON the resort as there are at other Sandals locations (I've never been to another, so this is based on what I read beforehand). As far as excursions go, we booked ahead, but most of the couple we met at the resort booked on the first day they got there and were fine (it was actually easier for them to see what was offered and compare excursions with the help of the employees). We did arrive right after a hurricane, so I don't know if it is this easy to book all the time.

My husband and I stayed at Sandals Halcyon Beach in June of 2024 for our 20th Wedding Anniversary. We booked a Honeymoon Butler Room with Private pool. Upon arrival, the staff welcomed us and got us into our room quickly. We seemed to have missed the formal 'tour' of the property that we saw other vacationers on, so we had to request that on our second day. Other than that, the staff was very friendly and warm. We had three different butlers, so I'm not sure that we necessarily got a seamless experience, however they all accommodated our requests. They even set out a cute "Happy Anniversary" banner with a chilled bottle of bubbly. The resort is clean and beautiful, but like others probably mention, it has a bit of age. There were spots on our pool where the tile was shoddily patched, and the main beachfront pool was a bit worn. Overall, everything seemed clean and tidy at the resort, but I did notice a bit of mold/mildew in our shower. The food was fabulous! We tried every restaurant except Mario's because we loved Kelly's Dockside so much we went there twice during our stay. So, overall, I enjoyed our stay.

The resort is really beautiful, and we had s ton of fun. There were some issues in the room with AC leaking causing other problems, but the staff and resort was accommodating and any issue small or big was fixed right away
Special shoutout and respect to Chris the bartender, he was on top of everything anytime a drink was finished he was there with another drink and water to stay hydrated, he was friendly and fun to be around and made the trip that much better. He deserved a ton of credit for good vibes he brings to the island. Respect Chris.

I really enjoyed the stay at Halcyon Beach, it’s the smaller of the three resorts and that really worked for a relaxed, easy going holiday. The check in with club sandals was quick and easy. The room was comfortable and was cleaned daily, with the mini bar being restocked, not always with the same drinks, but plenty of choice. The included water sports were fantastic, I took full advantage of the included diving, the team was great, a little more customer suggestion would be nice to prevent multiple trips to the same dive site. The other water sports were great, hobby cat sailing, paddle boarding. kayaking, and even tried water skiing, with instruction where needed. Throughout the stay the staff were (in the majority) extremely polite and friendly and the food mostly great. The stay at one and play at three was good, and the inter resort shuttle bus was generally quiet and on time. It should be noted, due to the local jazz festival over the weekend, the shuttle was cancelled for 3 days which could have been an issue for some. Overall I’d recommend the Halcyon beach resort for a chilled break.
