We stayed at the RHC for a week at the beginning of September 2003 in a Superior poolside room on an All Inclusive basis. Overall the holiday met our expectations, food was good, the variety at lunchtime was limited but use your imagination and the combinations are plentiful.
Some of the staff were a bit miserable, but on the whole it was great value for money. The beach was fantastic, and our room was always clean. We enjoyed every minute of it.

having read the reviews two weeks before we went to the rex halcyon we were a little concerned as to what to expect.well we got back today 18th sept and yes we were very disappointed with the all inclusive package and what we paid ,it was not value for money.The whole Hotel is in need of a refit,the pool has tiles badly broken but it was clean.Staff were always polite and helpful.Food lunch time was a joke always the same, burger,hot dog spag bol,mash ,jacket and salad ,some sort of fruit pie with no cream and chopped up melon(left from breakfast i dare say, no imagination at all.Eve meals were not too bad but still not a great variety .warri pier was ok only place you can get chips or ice cream. beach was great as were the locals very friendly.our air con. leaked on the balcony so we had our own private pool to step onto.also the perimeter fencing between the beach and carib bar is falling down,lots of health and saftey issues their.the vip trip in air con. 4x4 was excellant and taxi drivers very informative,lovely island but shame about hotel.would not use the rex hotel again,but would go back to antigua

Myself and my family went to the Rex Halcyon in july for 3 wks and i have to be honest , this place is like the house that jack built, having read all the reviews we thought it can't be that bad , but it was. how many people got ear infection's from the pool? we did and so did several others besides 1 or 2 the staff were rude, and the food was just awful. we will defo be not going back to the Rex , but Antigua has a whole was lovely.

We have just returned from 2 weeks at the Rex Halcyon Cove. It was very much a last minute decision and we had no choice over which hotel we stayed at. Having read TripAdvisor comments before we left we were apprehensive to say the least. However, we were pleasantly surprised.
Our room (garden superior) was large, clean and lovely and was over the far end of the resort, away from the bar and the noise but a few steps from one of the best beaches I have ever been to. There can be a bit of a 'Butlins' air about the place, especially Happy Hour at the Beach Bar, but the beach is large enough to escape if you want to. The food at the restaurant was ok but the subidised Warri Pier was excellent for dinner. It is also worth visiting the 2 restaurants at the far end of the beach, even if just for coffee and desert after dinner. The people were amazingly friendly, even the vendors on the beach, who will happily take no for an answer and leave you in peace. We hired a jeep which was a great way to see all of the island. It is very safe, except road signs are non-existent, but the locals are amazingly helpful when you get lost! Would not hesitate to go back, would opt for B&B though as there are too many lovely restaurants to visit.
