Positive Reviews
positive:
Amazing room service.
The staff at Halcyon Palms is more than generous with their care for guests, and the room service and maid performance at the hotel is one of the best features available. The rooms are kept consistently clean and stocked with necessary amenities between your island outings.
positive:
Quality fixtures.
The air-conditioning units and showers at Halcyon Palms are in great condition, and you'll never have to worry about the apartment units overheating, or your water pressure dropping below expected levels. The staff takes good care of the electrical and plumbing systems to ensure a quality experience.
positive:
Relaxing pool area.
The pool at Halcyon Palms is a great alternative to the nearby beach, providing a secluded and tranquil place to tan, swim, or just sit by the water. The facilities are never too crowded, and are constantly cleaned to maintain a hygienic and year-round pool.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Wi-Fi surcharges.
Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi at Halcyon Palms comes with an attached price, and the service from the signal isn't as strong as it should be. This amenity isn't necessary to have a great experience, but operating for business without the wireless signal can be a true hassle.
negative:
Limited utensils.
Preparing elaborate meals with the kitchenette is difficult due to a lack of utensils and kitchen appliances. You do have a bare-bones set of equipment at your disposal, but more complex dishes, or things requiring special tools, are generally out of the question.
negative:
Distance from town.
To actually reach the city centre and access some of its cafes, shops, and other destinations, you'll generally need access to a car, or be forced to walk well over a mile. Renting a bicycle is also a valid option for travel in the region.
