Halcyon Cove By Rex Resorts

“ The hotel is in a great location, right on the beautiful white sandy beach and a taxi from the airport was only about 15mins and $16usd . The staff are helpful, friendly and responsive and the evening entertainment lively. We only ate at the hotel on a couple of evenings but the food was very good, both in the main restaurant and out on the pier which is a lovely setting for dinner. There are a couple of restaurants along the beach which also surved great meals (one mexican one more eclectic) - expect to pay $60-80usd for a couple including wine. Other restaurants are available a short taxi ride away ($12usd) in St Johns or a walk up the hill from the hotel.
The hotels itself was ok, public rooms were fine and the provision of a 'hospitality suite' to shower after the beach for evening flights saved the cost of a room extension. We did get opportunity to see one of the pool view rooms which have been more recently built and it was very nice. The 'garden view' bedroom was a bit 'tired' but it was clean and functional and the shower well supplied with hot water. So the garden view rooms are not luxurious but well worth the money given the fact you would rather end up sat on the beach watch the glorious sunset than sitting in your room!

“ We absolutely loved our stay at the halcyon cove. We swapped the 1st room we was given and ended up with a poolside room which had a fantastic balcony with a sea view. The hotel was clean and all the staff were very friendly. We had room only and it was exceptional value for money. I cannot remember any negative points and would strongly recommend you stay here.

“ Top Tip: there was a beautiful beachside retaurant called coconut grove, we had dinner here and breakfast a couple of times..a fantatstic setting and wonderful food. This was only a short stroll along the sand from our hotel.

“ Room excellent; Both food and service in Warri Pier restaurant outstanding if a little expensive; Hotel facilities very good; staff helpful and pleasant.

Breakfast in main restaurant could have been better, and the breakfast restaurant supervisor could have been more polite!

“ Top Tip: Warri Pier restaurant

“ I recently stayed at the Halcyon in Antigua. I must say it was absolutely brilliant! if ever I went to Antigua again I would most definately stay there. After reading some reviews I was abit scared.

We were giving fresh towels everyday and our room was cleaned everyday also.

All I can say is if you go to Antigua make sure you stay in the Halcyon, although my only moan is that the Restaurant had specific opening times 7-9.30 which I thought was pretty silly.
