We booked our Sandals Honeymoon throug a travel agent almost a year in advance of our honeymoon. When we arrived at the hotel they gave us a key to our room and the friendly bellhop took up to our "upgraded" room. The room was smaller in size of the room, the bed, and the bath tub than the room we had booked. In addition we were on the ...
We honeymooned at the Halcyon ten years ago and came back to renew our vows. Truthfully, we were a little afraid because ten years had passed and things change. Well, things only got better. We had a fabulous time and were treated like royalty! Our beachfront cottage was as spectacular as we remembered. The staff and service was impeccable - many ...

What it's like at a Sandals during a Hurricane:
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/09/08
My wife and I had our Honeymoon at Sandals Haylcon Beach for a week (Aug 07). Our first 3 days were great. This resort was very quiet and relaxing. It was a bit older, but I thought our Beachfront Room was well maintained. If you want a new and crisp-looking resort, I would recommend the Grand.
The food at the snack-bars & main ...

Never again... not even if you paid me.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/14/07
This resort was absolutely horrible and bore no resemblance to the experience described or resort depicted on the hotel website. We booked a "Luxury Oceanview" room that was severely lacking in both luxury and view. We looked out on to the garden (admittedly, facing roughly the direction of the ocean, but without a view of it). The ...

Sandals doesn't honor hurricane guarantee
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/31/07
We were in the middle of our 9 day Sandals vacation when Hurricane Dean was bearing down on the Island of St. Lucia. We managed to get the last plane off the island only to find out that in order to obtain the "Hurricane vouchers" for our entire trip we were required to stay on the island during the hurricane. Does Sandals really want to ...

We loved everything about st. lucia , but most of all we loved the people.We made many friends over there. We visited the town a good few times and people were so friendly.

So much fun!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/03/07
This was the best vacation ever! The grounds were beautiful. It was so easy to get from your room to the beach. Service was great. It wasn't very crowded, which was nice. There was never a problem finding chairs by the pool or beach. It was very laid back. On the nights that we wanted a more lively atmosphere we went to one of the other Sandals Resorts. But as far as daytime relaxation, this was the place to be!

NOT WORTH THE PRICE
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/06/07
My boyfriend and I booked this trip 4 months in advance and paid $4500. This was the most money we ever paid for a one week trip but we read so many things saying how gorgeous St Lucia was--it wasnt as nice as it seemed. We picked The Halcyon because it was the cheapest of the 3 sandals on the island, it was also the smallest and it was horrible. ...

Been there 3 times,will go again
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/04/07
Of the three Sandals Resorts in St.Lucia, we like Halcyon best for it's laid back atmosphere, beautiful grounds, and super friendly staff. Food, drinks and service were excellent. The rooms and grounds were always kept clean. After three visits, we'll definitely go back to Halcyon again.
