The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dining Experience

I thoroughly enjoyed the food at Starfish Halcyon Cove. The buffet always had hot options, which is not something you find often at buffet-style dining. My favorite was the variety available during breakfast, especially the omelette station run by a couple of amazing chefs! Dinner at the pier was lovely, overlooking the turquoise sea while enjoying tasty meals. The food quality exceeded my expectations, and I looked forward to every meal during my stay.

Comfortable Rooms

Our room was spacious and comfortable. I loved the large balcony with a lovely view, which was perfect for unwinding in the evenings. The bed was incredibly comfy, and the air conditioning worked flawlessly. We also appreciated the presence of a fridge, making our stay even more enjoyable as we could keep drinks cool. The cleanliness of the room was commendable, adding to our overall satisfaction with the accommodation.

Fun for Kids

Our children had an amazing time at the kids' club run by LaDonna! She was engaging and genuinely attentive, ensuring the kids enjoyed a variety of activities from games to arts and crafts. They made friends quickly and always looked forward to joining the scheduled activities. It was such a relief for us to have a dedicated and enthusiastic staff member looking after the kids while we relaxed. This aspect made our family vacation truly enjoyable!

Beautiful Beach

The beach at Starfish Halcyon Cove was absolutely stunning! White sands and crystal-clear blue waters made it easy to spend every day there. Despite some rocky areas, the beach offered plenty of space for lounging and swimming. I loved walking along the shore and taking in the beautiful surroundings. The vibe was relaxed, and the beach service made it easy to get drinks while soaking up the sun. It truly was the icing on the cake for our vacation!
