All the rooms are being upgraded in turn with new bathrooms, deco etc. there is now... more

We just got back from Antigua on June 21, 2008. Just me and my wife and we had a wonderful time. We used our time share week and traded into the resort. The resort is only 15 minutes from the airport and $16.00 per couple to the resort. When you leave baggage claim just walk outside to the taxi booth,... more

Me my wife & son stayed at the Rex Halcyon last week in May for 10 nights on the all inc plan. Overall we enjoyed our stay here. Yes some of the rooms are in need of refurb particularly the bathrooms, but we had the most comfy huge bed ever, hot water all the time, air con was also good... more

MY daughter and I have just returned from Halcyon Cove after a one week holiday. After reading all the reviews most of which have been negative, we were a little reluctant at what we would find. Firstly we had a short taxi trip from the airport, within ten minutes of the taxi dropping us off at reception, we were in... more

We were a family of 4 and had a room right on the beach front, with huge bed, cable... more

Stayed at Halcyon cove for a week, a little worried before our arrival after reading reviews on this site. However we were pleasently surprised. The room was clean and tidy, air-conditioning worked well and hot water everyday. The staff were friendly and helpful, (a problem with the shower was sorted out within the hour). The entertainment left a little to... more

The Good Great beach - probably the best on the island and right next to Sandals. The pier restaurant is in a great position. The view from the top of the hill is also superb. The price we paid represents good value for money - if you want luxury you should be prepared to pay a premium Julien has the... more

I've been to Antigua four times and am about to embark on my fifth trip, with stays at the Rex Halcyon, and sister hotel Hawksbill. To put my review in context, I stayed at The four star (should be five) Colony Club on the west coast of Barbados last year, and have visited Tobago, St Martin/St Marteen, St Lucia and... more
