Having read some of the reviews on this resort I was worried pre my holiday but I have to say the resort met more than my expectations for a 3 star resort. The food was good as was the service and our room was Ok. Some updating does need doing to the rooms-the bathrooms are a little shabby but our... more

We went to the Halcyon Rex on a "TravelZoo Special" for a week in June and had a great time. We eventually decided on All Inclusive (AI)...which I am glad we did as eating out would have proved very expensive and we actually found it difficult to find other restaurants. Firstly the hotel is in a great location on Dickinson... more

If you are looking for luxury and tranquality then this probably isn't the right place to head for. However, other than having to request an early room change, we did enjoy our holiday at the Halcyon Cove. The hotel is very dated, and needs a major overhall to bring it back to the lovely place that it clearly once was.... more

My holiday to Antigua with my young daughter turned out to be the holiday from hell. We arrived late due to the fact that the Virgin flight too an unscheduled stop in Barbados and then the plane door would not close so we were left on the tarmac waiting for the door to be repaired. We arrived at the hotel... more

But saying that when the sun comes out, its very hot and you can tan easily.It drys up... more

We came back from Halcyon Cove on Saturday 23rd May, once again we had a wonderful time. The improvements made since our last visit are brilliant, the rooms now have brand new furniture, flat screen TV's are next. With the new bathrooms, new furniture and new air conditioning the rooms are very comfortable. Our room was kept clean by Shirma,... more

Only one bar open.that was the beach bar with,only the umbrellas to hide under when it rained,and when it was hot everybody in our party got bitten.The staff (not all) were rude and miserable and the only good meals were at breakfast.Someone told us they were going to rebuild the whole site ,all i can say is the sooner the... more

Management response from
afmarsh, Hotel Manager

We are sorry that you did not enjoy your stay with us. There seems to have been some misunderstanding with regards to the bars as during the day only the Carib (Beach) Bar opens as our guests usually spend the day either on the beach or around the pool. During the evenings we have a minimum of 2 bars open,...

we came back from the halcyon cove last thursday 7th may, and we had a truly great time. Fenton is just fantastic and a good guy, he just can't play pool very well, my wife beat him on 3 occasions. Errol was a very good bartender who kept us well stocked with our drinks. Joy in the restaurant, was such... more

Stayed at the Rex Halcyon Cove for two weeks during March 2009, previously visited same hotel in 1999. Booked with Virgin Holidays, special deals available in January, and paid £1100 per person for 14days All Inclusive. I appreciate this is a three star hotel but this still represents good value for money in the traditional Caribbean high season. The hotel... more

Beach & Location - Fantastic Rooms - Basic but clean Hotel - Very run down but is in the middle of being refurbished. Food - OK. If you are vegetarian and you are quite happy to live off chips/rice/bread/hard veg for a fortnight then this isn't the place for you. Entertainment - Very poor. The entertainment team consists of one... more
