Keyonna Beach

Keyonna Beach resort absolutely exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived at the airport through the day we checked out, the staff were eager to go above and beyond- We stayed in a plunge pool cottage, almost surreal- private outdoor shower, luxury linens, fully stocked bar, breakfast on our private deck, and more… locally sourced food made every dining experience a gastronomic delight! This is not your typical all inclusive resort. If you want endless supplies of a continental breakfast, and grilled lunches, and chicken piccata, go to Sandals. Here you will have creative dishes served with premium alcohol, if desired, and every server is knowledgeable about what wine to pair with your food. While the food and amenities were excellent, the best feature of Keyonna Beach are its staff. THe Antiguan culture is beautiful and so are the people- to name only a few, Lydia, Rocky, Sheldon, Aurelia, Tinaia, and more….We are already planning our return trip for next March- PS: Thank you Rocky XOXO.

If you are looking for an exciting, upscale, venue with lots of entertainment and late-night partying....this is not the place for you! But, if you'd enjoy rustic and secluded ambience, great food and attentive service on a gorgeous beach for your disconnected get-away...Keyonna fills the bill. We loved our stay!

We found Keyonna while searching online for a small, all-inclusive Caribbean resort where we could simply relax for a week. Little did we know that we had not only found that, but after just a week at Keyonna, it jumped to the top of our list of favorites, and we hope to return for an even longer visit in the future! As one can see online, the resort is beautiful with many positive reviews, so we were confident we had found a nice place. What we didn’t expect was that from the moment we arrived and until our departure, we would be welcomed by such a warm, obviously well-chosen, well-trained, friendly and professional staff. Within a day, many recognized us by room number and remembered our drink preferences. Without exception, they made us feel welcome and “at home,” catering to our every need…or simply our wish for relaxation. The “upscale rustic” styled boutique resort setting on that quiet, gorgeous beach was perfect for us. Our cottage was absolutely well worth the upgraded price as it literally became our personal beachfront sanctuary with our private beach chairs, Bali bed, hammock, deck chairs, plunge pool, comfortable bedroom and large, well-supplied bathroom with that amazing outdoor shower – all of which led to such utter comfort and relaxation. The food was fresh, plentiful and reflective of Caribbean cuisine. Each evening we enjoyed the different talented local musicians during and after dinner in the beautiful dining area. The week flew by, with us coming home relaxed, refreshed and feeling truly cared for. Of course no place is perfect, yet our only negative was the nearby rooster(s) crowing much of the night - but after a few nights, even that noise just melted into the background of this wonderful resort.

Overall this hotel is a great place to stay if looking for peaceful setting on the beach. Service was good and the quality of the food and drink also good but not outstanding. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable but perhaps needing an upgrade in the future. We stayed in a pool sanctuary cottage which was very private and directly on the beach. Overall staff were friendly and helpful but occasionally got the feeling you were a bit of an inconvenience. I was very disappointed on leaving in the early hours to catch an early flight, the scheduled help with the bags to the taxi did not arrive. This meant two elderly guests in their late 70’s had to carry two 23kg very heavy suitcases and other bags down two flights of stairs and drag them maybe 500 mtrs to the taxi. I also noticed there is no baggage trolley used by the staff and bags are dragged to quite distant areas of the hotel.

Best trip ever, everyone is so nice and the service was incredible, will be back!! Beautiful view and great food and drinks
