If you are looking for a smaller boutique style resort with extra friendly staff and excellent service, this is the place. Well worth the effort to travel to St. Lucia and stay for the week.

Special recognition needs to go to Tyrone and Sammye in the Water Sports for giving exceptional customer service and taking extra care of their guests. Dong at Soy also made sure that we were taken care of and needs to be commended for taking such good care of his guests

Sandals Halcyon Beach Visited on May 2021

The staff is amazing. From Kay at the front desk, to Shara at the bar. Shara shared her favorite drinks recipes. We also enjoyed the restaurant staff, Alex, Dong and Marcella. They went above and beyond to meet our dining needs. And who could forget our entertainment Irie and LaShawn. We also had an amazing couples massage with Faith and Zenith. Our trip was so memorable because of the lovely staff and we can't wait to come back and see you all. Thank you

Sandals Halcyon Beach Visited on April 2021

We spent 10 amazing days at the Halcyon. We cannot say thank you enough to the staff who made us feel like family from the moment we arrived. Our butlers Sylvie, Davina, Gibson and Learie were beyond exceptional. Everywhere we turned one of them was right there to help us from drinks to excursions or to just make sure we were doing alright. We have already booked a return trip and the number one reason we are returning to Halcyon is because of these wonderful butlers. Each of them are outstanding and just beautiful individuals. The watersports team Glenn and Tyrone also went above and beyond for us daily. From saying good morning to making sure the beach was in top shape each day they never missed a beat. Clint in the photo shop really should be a butler as he has amazing customer service skills. We had so much fun with our photo shoot. And I cannot forget the spa staff. Iva and Zenith are also amazing. These two are the best at what they do. We had 4 massages! We cannot wait to get back for more. All the food was outstanding. Room service included. This resort is just beautiful. The grounds are perfectly maintained everyday. We have zero complaints about the Halcyon and we definitely recommend this resort to other couples. The laid back relaxed vibe was exactly what we were looking for. We are so grateful to have had such an amazing vacation.

Sandals Halcyon Beach Visited on February 2020

We are leaving Paradise today! So sad. Sandals has given us the absolute best vacation experience on all fronts. Of special mention are Vanessa and Tameka from the Red Lane Spa, they are warm, fun and give the most amazing massages. We recommend the Raindrop massage (so good we had two on our trip). Our private beach dinner with Vernyl was an experience we will never forget. However, every staff member was sincere, welcoming and happy to help at all times. Sandals Halcyon is gorgeous and quiet. We met so many incredible people and will have memories and hopefully connections for a lifetime!

Sandals Press Reviews

"In doing what we ought, we deserve no praise," so states a Latin proverb. We are truly humbled by the plethora of praise we have received from such varied and prestigious sources, from all over the world, but feel compelled to say that we feel we are only doing what should be done for our guests – the very best! Be assured that all this praise will only serve to make all of us at Sandals strive harder to find more and better ways to give our guests the very best holiday experience on the planet.

Travel Agent

"I can personally attest to the thoughfulness of the butler service. At breakfast, my butler heard me coughing.

Travel Girl

"Eating light, helthy fare is easier than expected, owing to whitehouse's seemingly health-concious, more discerning clientele, many of whom opt for upgraded butler-service rooms and top floor suites." "What sets the new Sandals South Coast resort apart from the rest of the couples-only, all inclusive Caribbean mega resorts is the feeling that you are removed from the rest of the world. Finding solace and rekindling romance on this 50-acre property with two miles of pristine beach is easy...just hide in one of the hammocks on the beach or visit a couples-only suite in the resort's full-service European spa."
