We have just returned from a 2 week stay at the Halcyon and loved every minute of it. Having read previous reports I was a bit dubious about what we would find but I'm so glad we ignored them now. The Hotel was clean and our room had far more facilities than we expected from the brochure. Whilst the room... more

We went to this resort in 2006 as a family group and are due back this year with an even larger group. We have been reading the reviews and feel that this hotel is being wrongly slated. If you want the full 5 star experience during a holiday then pay the 5 star money. This is a budget family hotel... more

No Hot Water for 1 week Bad "all inclusive food" No room phone Liquor was refilled in "name" bottles from a jug of who knows what? We had 2 rooms and both were horrible. Bugs, toilet that wasnt attached very well to the ground, gross moldy shower, and did I mention NO HOT WATER. You can go to Mexico for... more

Unfortunately we experienced major problems with 4 of our boilers for approximately 5 days in February 2008 which resulted in no hot water in some areas of the hotel; I am happy to report though that these were replaced with new boilers. Also, we have on the way a refurbishing program which includes the replacement of bathroom; again I am...

The location of this resort is fantastic, after visiting various beaches i would say this is definately the best on the island. Halcyon Coves beach is very private too, at the end of the bay near to the rocks you don't get loads of people walking past. The sun beds were pitched right on the beach with a bar and... more

Just back from a week in the Halcyon Cove - before going obviously read these reviews and was a bit nervous but all in all would say the hotel is a bit dated but clean and the beautiful surroundings make it an enjoyable place to chill out for a week. We were upgraded from a standard room to a pool-side... more

I have just returned today from this hotel. I had read the reviews before arriving, so sort of expected a below standard hotel. One thing I would not have been able to cope with was cold water and luckily for us we had hot water all the time we were there. We had two rooms one for us and one... more

This was booked as a timeshare exchange through RCI. I ended up paying to change my room from the booked and already paid for RCI exchange of a studio to what is considered a one bedroom. Supposedly there were "no other studios" in the timeshare area. The problem with the studio room was not the size, but the condition of... more

We vacationed at the Halcyon Cove in February and before our trip we were a bit nervous because of all the bad reviews the resort had received. After returning from a week in pure paradise I couldn't disagree more with the negative comments. I found the staff to be very friendly and warm - the location incredible - and the... more

The rooms at this place were last refurbished circa 1960, and although the brochure stated "recently refurbished", there wasnt much evidence of it. Food restricted to a buffet that seldom changes, greasy chips for lunch, Pier restaurant closed most of the time. Only one bar is open, a dilapidated structure next to the beach. Poor selection of drinks, every night... more

We booked a weeks stay at the Halcyon Cove as a last minute break through Virgin. Due to it being a last minute booking the Halcyon was the only hotel that we could get in to. After reading the reviews posted here prior to arriving at the Halcyon, we had a fair idea of why and what to expect!.. The... more
