One destination that is requested time and time again by clients is the beautiful and majestic island of Saint Lucia. Saint Lucia offers something for everyone to explore, from its gorgeous beaches to its towering Pitons. Along with the beautiful backdrop of the island, Saint Lucia offers accommodations to match. With so many truly wonderful properties it can become overwhelming to decide where to call home during your stay. As a Travel Advisor, I find it important to spend time on the islands and resorts I am suggesting to my clients because nothing replaces first hand knowledge. I had the pleasure of spending time touring many resorts on Saint Lucia and one of my favorites was Sandals Halcyon Beach Resort.
Why did I fall in love with this resort? The number one reason, I walked away just loving the size of the property. It was by far the smallest in both number of guest rooms and acreage. This gave the resort a cozy, personalized feeling, that is almost impossible at a mega resort. I saw and experienced first hand the staff calling the guests by name which added to the personalized feel. I also fell in love with the plant life that was everywhere at this resort. The colors and smells were a true delight to the senses.
Being a Sandals Resort, Halcyon offers a variety of room categories that allow you to wake up each morning to beach views or enjoy a swim in the largest swim-up lagoon in the Caribbean. The resort offers 6 restaurants including the over the water restaurant, Kelly’s Dockside. Kelly’s serves Caribbean and seafood favorites with beautiful views.
Along with its dining options, Sandals is known for its activities. It not only includes your land and water activities but also Scuba diving. If you are looking for a relaxing day by the beach or some activity to get you moving, Halcyon Beach Resort has you covered.
Choosing a Sandals resort in Saint Lucia allows you to experience all three of the resorts on the island. The three resorts are unique in their own way and each has its own vibe. I love the ability to hop on a shuttle and experience dinner at a different resort or grab clubs and play 9 holes.
Halcyon Beach Resort is a great option for a couple looking for a small resort feel with relaxation and beautiful beaches as a top priority. It gives you that feeling of home without sacrificing the amenities Sandals offers.
