The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dining Options

The food at Starfish Halcyon Cove was delicious! I appreciated the variety offered, even with a smaller selection. The buffet catered to all my needs for energy, including chicken, meat, fish, salads, and fruits. I especially loved the lunch options at the beach bar; the burgers and sausages were always hot and tasty. Dining by the Warri Pier was a lovely experience, and I recommend booking a spot there for dinner.

Amazing Room Views

We stayed in a pool-view room on the 2nd floor, and the views were amazing! Each morning, stepping onto our spacious balcony to look over the bay and the hills was simply good. The room had all the necessary features and was always kept clean. I appreciated the daily housekeeping service, which maintained a comfortable atmosphere throughout our stay.

Fun for Kids

My children had a great time at Starfish Halcyon Cove. They loved the pool area, which was perfect for some fun in the sun, and we could easily keep an eye on them while relaxing nearby. The beach was just steps away, allowing them plenty of opportunities to collect seashells and explore the tide pools. They didn't seem to get bored at all, which is a big plus for family vacations!

Relaxing Beaches

The beach at Starfish Halcyon Cove was nothing short of amazing! We relished the opportunity to relax under the wooden palapas, but be sure to arrive early to secure one. The sunsets over the ocean were simply amazing, and walking along the shore made for some nice moments with my family. It truly felt like our own private paradise!
