Half way through our 10 day holiday, I cannot recommend Halcyon enough. All the staff are amazing, from the club lounge staff to the gardeners, not to mention all the bar staff. Too many staff to mention outstanding individuals. This is our second visit and by far the best Sandals we have visited. Room 501 is lovely and quiet with 10 steps to a tranquil lazy river. Everyone has a smile and welcoming chat no matter the time of day. Thank you all we appreciate making our holiday.

Had a really relaxing holiday. Facilities were excellent. Food and drinks of a very high standard. Staff and levels of service were predominantly what were expected. No pressure regarding the finding of sun beds etc. Only downsides preventing a 5 star rating being the variable level of service in the main bar. Lack of understanding of who is next to be served. Also housekeeping was variable in terms of time of completion (post 4pm is too late) For UK visitors be aware this is predominantly a US resort meaning lots of conversations ad if folk were 30 feet away as opposed to 3 feet away!

The resort was small and quiet. The staff was amazing, food was excellent, and the Retro Night was fun. Pickleball and tennis courts are terrible, along with the Gluten Free pizza. Most everything else was great! if you are looking for a slower pace, small resort this is the place for you.
