We are just back (yesterday) from the Rex Halcyon Cove in Antigua . Lunch and dinner were pretty good ,breakfast on the other hand was lacking fruit and variety . The beach was messy with weeds & not cleaned too often ,also water is far from crystal clear - you can't see anything unless you swim far from the shore... More

Me and a girlfriend stayed here for 2 weeks and had an amazing time. We were pleasantly suprised with the quality of the hotel given its star rating (should be much higher!) The location is perfect right on the beach and close to other restaurants down the beach. You also get to use the watersports which is very nice for... More

Don't be fooled by the star rating. This property gives excellent value for your money. The staff are the best you will find. Helpful in every way. Check this place out!! You won't be sorry..... Great beach, great location. Everything you could want is right there, or a short walk away.

We have just come back from 2 weeks AI in this wonderful place! We travelled with Virgin who are always top class. Our room was looking out on the beach and although the bar was noisy at times in the evening, it closed before midnight and then all we could hear was the sea. We did struggle with the food... More

The staff is the most friendliest i have ever come across. Beach and food was awesome. Management was the most helpful i have met in a long... More

Spent a week at this resort recently. Stay somewhere else. The place needs a complete redo. Our room was very shabby and needed to be updated. In my opinion, the property is run down and is not up to standards. The room was dirty and most of our days we had No hot water. Inexcusable!. I have never been to... More

Check in was slow, our first room was so dirty that I had to complain immediately and rather than having housekeeping clean the room to even a substandard state we were moved to a small pokey room which could also of been cleaner. We asked if we could pay to be upgraded to a pool view room (as the receptionist... More
