Keyonna Beach

This place is heaven. Not elaborate just calm and serene. The staff are wonderful and nothing is too much trouble! Special shout out to Tevin and Kimberly. Simply the best holiday we have ever had! Will be back!

Nothing fancy, very rustic, amazing beachfront cottages, wonderful staff. Very relaxing environment. The resort will grow on you.

The hotel is relaxing and beautiful. The views are stunning and the staff cannot do enough for you. We have been particularly impressed with the food especially breakfast and lunch. My husband is vegetarian and we thought food might be a challenge but there have been plenty of options. We stayed in a beach cottage with a plunge pool - heaven!

We recently stayed at Keyonna Beach Resort and, while parts of the experience were enjoyable, a serious guest safety failure overshadowed the entire trip. During our stay, my wife, who is seven months pregnant, entered the water from the resort’s beach under conditions that did not appear unusually hazardous at the time. While in the water, she was struck by a large wave and fell hard onto her hip. As a precaution, we sought medical care, which resulted in $1,585 USD in out-of-pocket expenses. The incident was observed by resort staff, who came over immediately, confirming that it was visible and recognized at the time. However, there was limited assistance or structured response provided following the incident. After returning to the resort, a red flag was raised on the beach indicating hazardous water conditions. We were informed by staff that the flag is normally posted under those conditions but was missed earlier that morning. This is not a minor issue. The presence or absence of a red flag is a primary safety control used to warn guests of dangerous surf. The failure to post it in a timely manner directly impacted our decision to enter the water. While the beach may be considered public, the resort actively manages the beachfront experience, including the use of safety flags, guest seating, and staff presence. Once those controls are in place, there is a reasonable expectation that hazard warnings are monitored and deployed consistently. Equally concerning, following the incident, there was no wheelchair or adequate means available to assist my pregnant wife from our cabin to the front of the property, requiring her to walk a considerable distance after injury. We reported the incident to management, provided full documentation of medical expenses, and made multiple attempts to follow up. To date, the resort has not provided any substantive response or acknowledgment beyond initial receipt. While the location itself is beautiful, guest safety, hazard communication, and incident response should be baseline expectations at any resort. Based on this experience, I would strongly encourage others to exercise caution, particularly regarding ocean conditions, and not rely solely on the resort’s safety indicators.

We splurged for our 30th and stayed in a Sanctuary Plunge Pool Cottage. I have not cried so much to leave a resort ever before. We used the resort transportation from and to the airport. it's a bit more $ but was worth it to have it taken care of for us, and we had a lovely driver who gave us tons of info on the island. Check in was quick and easy, and then we were walked to our Sanctuary Cottage which was perfection. I miss it so much. The views, the privacy, the outdoor shower... my favourite accommodation I have ever stayed in!!! There were a couple of small glitches but we were AMAZED at how fast they addressed them for us! Tevin served us drinks and food every day but one, and this man is amazing. I cried to say goodbye to him. He so sincerely wants to make sure you are enjoying and having the best time. He was a huge part of making our stay so perfect, and it was a pleasure getting to know him. The beach is so lovely here. It is public, so you do get other boats and other people, but it was never loud or a party scene. I had read about party catamarans and was worried... we did see them, and one day there was a boat docked down the beach for a few hours that we could hear, but it was not so loud that it disrupted us. The sunsets off this beach are stunning every single night. There were a couple of negatives that should also be mentioned so I'm giving an honest review (but having said that.. I would totally go back to Keyonna). The bugs: it's pretty bad. I came home covered in itchy bites, predominantly on my calves and feet, and in my scalp. We hid in our cottage Wed, Fri and Mon from 5-6pm because we got texts that they were going to fog.. but the fog never happened on any of those three evenings so we wasted an hour. On the Sunday we did NOT get a reminder text, but then were suddenly rushing into our cottage as we watched the fog start to envelope the resort. They use an organic product so they say it's safe to stay outside when they fog, but as a two time cancer survivor, I am always cautious. The food is good, but it's one area I would say they could improve upon given the price to stay. We had a couple of wonderful meals, but also some that we did not enjoy. Favourite dinner was the snapper. Favourite lunch was the ginger chicken w rice. There is a wide range of options for breakfast. They work hard to accommodate for allergies. Drinks are strong, and very good. The staff here are amazing! I wish I was still there!!
