Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positive and negative aspects. The room was clean and comfortable, but the possibility of it being flooded was concerning. The service I received was outstanding from the hardworking staff, despite facing some issues on the island. The location, although right on the beach, was in need of a serious update. The dining experience had its highs and lows, with good quality breakfast but limited options. The facilities were decent, though some aspects needed improvement.
Wow, this hotel was a huge disappointment! The rooms felt like they were stuck in a time warp, giving off zero-star vibes instead of the supposed 3-star status. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. The dark, dingy corridor I had to navigate to find my room was straight out of a horror movie – definitely not what you want on vacation!
The hotel is located in a beautiful setting right by the beach with lovely garden views from the rooms. While the rooms could use some refurbishment, they are spacious and come with a convenient kitchenette and sofa. The service from staff members named Julie, Bernadette, Margetta, LaDonna, Lisa, Heather, Errol, Dolston, Egbert, Helene, Roxanne, Stacy, Jessese, Dave, and Fenton was outstanding, especially the delicious lunch dishes they prepared. The remote location may not suit everyone, but it offers a peaceful atmosphere and sheltered areas from the heat. Dining options can be a bit repetitive, particularly for those seeking variety beyond the beach-side BBQ. Overall, the facilities are satisfactory, though there may be signs of wear and tear that need attention.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was outstanding, with beautiful views of Dickenson Bay, but the facilities were in need of updating. The service, particularly from Errol, was exceptional, but the dining options were limited and running out quickly. Overall, a decent stay with potential for improvement.
The resort offers clean and comfortable rooms, though they appear a bit tired. The service provided by the staff is exceptional, always polite, friendly, and ready to assist. The location is brilliant, set in a wonderful beachfront establishment catering to foreigners. The dining experience, especially breakfast and lunch, is fantastic with a plentiful selection of delicious options. The facilities are well-maintained, ensuring a pleasant stay.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were seriously dated, and I encountered some issues like a terrace room that didn't close properly, which raised security concerns. On the bright side, the pool view rooms on the 2nd floor were nice. The service was a mixed bag, with extremely friendly and helpful staff but at times making me feel like I was bothering them. The location, though needing updates, was great being right on the beach and offering a fantastic rate. The dining experience had its highs with great omelettes but lacked variety in fruits. The facilities were in decent shape, although improvements are needed.
My stay at the Starfish Halcyon Cove poolside room #244 was a mix of highs and lows. While the room itself was full of flaws like flies, dirtiness, mice droppings, and cockroaches, the view was lovely, and the room was relatively clean. The furniture was nondescript, though.
The lack of fans and noise from outside were additional concerns. On the positive side, the hotel was overlooking the parking lot.
The hotel had some issues with room maintenance, but the service and location were outstanding. The dining experience was good overall, and the facilities were decent.
My stay at Halcyon in room 280 Beachfront room was a mixed experience. The location is outstanding, and the staff go above and beyond for you, but the rooms have no phone, which could be inconvenient, and the dining options are limited.
