Keyonna Beach

The beaches are brilliant, the food is delicious, the accommodations are inviting and not as sterile as most resorts, the hospitality is excellent. I’ll go again.

We came to Keyonna for our honeymoon and will absolutely be returning! All of the staff were wonderful and attentive. We didn’t lift a finger in from the time we got to the hotel to the time we left. Tevin was friendly and reliable on the beach and made amazing signature drinks! Daniel at the front desk was super professional and helpful when we had an issue with an outside tour we scheduled. It was an absolute dream vacation!

My wife and I had one of the best weeks of our lives staying at Keyonna Beach! We were looking for a relaxing getaway and that’s exactly what we got. The Sunset beachfront room was absolutely perfect. We really appreciate the team accommodating our request to stay on the far side of the resort. In terms of services, everyone was so lovely and accommodating. We enjoyed all our meals and the staff for breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all great. The dinners were the highlight for sure! The rotating menu always had something to look forward to. The red snapper we had one night was the highlight We spent the majority of our time on the beach, swimming in the most beautiful water we’ve ever seen or relaxing in our private Cabana. Having a privately assigned Cabana for each room is such a good idea. Special shoutout to Tevin who manned the bar on our side of the resort! He went above and beyond with his services throughout our stay. He would come around to our cabana frequently to check in to see if we needed anything which we really appreciated. You didn't have to go and find him when you needed something which shows how much he cares about providing a good experience. On top of all this, he was just a really nice guy and someone we enjoyed getting to know during our stay. Also want to shout out the boat ride we took with Sea Cat. I can see why the hotel trusts this vendor to look after their guests. Our morning cruise was the highlight of our trip. Special thank you to Tevin, Arealius, and the rest of the staff for making this an unforgettable week.

My husband and I stayed here in June 2025 for 9 days. We had a great time all around, everyone was very kind and accommodating. The food was excellent from breakfast, to lunch, to dinner. We had a beachfront sanctuary cottage, and we loved going from the plunge pool to the beach easily. We would definitely book this room over the others, based on beach access. We often ordered lunch from the grill and ate it right in the cabana. Tevin at the beach bar is such a kind man, very fun to talk to! If you are a beach lover, the beach has zero seaweed and is very swimmable. Nightly entertainment while eating dinner was nice to listen to, with some nights being livelier, and some being laid back instrumental. The couples massage we got was amazing as well, very relaxing and attentive. There is a cat on property, and he was around at dinner time in the restaurant. We enjoyed seeing him, and he looked well taken care of and fed. Overall we can't wait to go back in a few years.

My husband and I just returned from a trip to Keyonna Beach Resort to celebrate our 25th anniversary. We had gone back and forth trying to decide between a few different island destinations, and then once decided on Antigua, a couple of different resorts. We are both so happy we chose Keyonna Beach Resort. From the moment I made the room reservation online, to our (sad) departure yesterday, everything was a smooth, seamless and simple process. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a delicious welcome drink ( potent but delicious rum punch) and given a tour of the grounds and then our room. We chose the simplest room option, the Beachfront room, which does not come with a plunge pool-- we are not pool people (more on this later) and wanted to be as close to the beach as possible with the best view of it from our balcony. The room did not disappoint. It looks exactly like the pictures online and was a perfect distance from everything including the beach, pool, and dining area. The bed was very comfortable and the air conditioning worked VERY well, sometimes having to turn the temperature up because it got chilly). The double outdoor shower was fantastic-- no problems with water pressure, water temperature or anything else. If I had to complain about anything that I've mentioned so far, I would say that the resort could use an upgrade on linens and bath towels, but truly that is not a big deal at all, they are fine if they stay as is. Housekeeping is very good, they swept our room and stairs on a daily basis, so no sand to walk on inside. There is only one restaurant, and the beachside grill, but these were more than enough. We chose to eat a breakfast in the restaurant-- where there are many options. Do not miss the delicious fruit plate, the lyonnaise potatoes, the Antiguan scramble and when the baked goods are brought around to choose what you would like to taste that day, do not miss the mango bread, the scone, or the pumpkin danish. All delicious! We ate lunch on the patio by the grill where the grillmaster, Margaret, made delicious light lunch options. I had veggie quesadillas every day and they were the best! Antigua is not America so don't expect sour cream and guacamole, but do expect local mustard and hot sauce if you choose-- both were really good. My husband loved Margaret's chicken wings, favoring the jerk variety over the BBQ. Besides her cooking skills, Margaret is a gem. So accommodating, so nice, and just seemed like a really lovely person. Did I mention that all options are served with locally made root chips and homemade cookies or coconut cake? All very yummy! At the beach or pool, if you are lucky enough to have DeVaughn or Aron take care of you, you will be very happy. Very attentive without being overbearing, and both went out of their way to make sure that we always had the drink we wanted. I highly recommend getting your rum punch frozen, the mango frozen marguerita, and passion fruit juice. Dinner was back at the restaurant where every evening brings new fish, meat, chicken and vegetarian options. That said, remember this is Antigua, where ingredients are imported, for the most part, so you may not have the selection you're used to at home and where (thankfully) the ingredients they do have are used in a variety of ways over several days, so hopefully there is minimal waste of those things. The items we enjoyed most were the sweet potato salad with honey, cinnamon and walnuts (please send me that recipe, Keyonna resort!) and the seafood soup. The most favored entrees were the tuna, the gnocchi with shrimp, the stuffed squash with zucchini and mango salsa, and the stuffed chicken with cheese and spinach. Desserts were amazing especially the passion fruit sorbet and ice creams all served in a tuille cup (the best I've had, so chewy and carmel-y), the chocolate lava cake, and the delicious cheese plate with a variety of cheese and starfruit jam. To celebrate our anniversary, we had dinner on the beach, which unfortunately kept getting sidelined due to rain. Initially, however, when we walked onto the beach on a path made of flower petals, to our table, surrounded by torches, I was just so happy. It was really beautiful. This meal is actually six courses, including a delicious rum-soaked intermezzo, and well worth the $250 price (it also includes a bottle of champagne). The food was delicious and based on choices we made in advance. That said, after it rained twice, we had to move inside. The chef felt so badly, he made sure to come out and ask if we were ok and if we still enjoyed our meal, which we did. I will also mention that everyone at the desk was extremely helpful, ready to assist with whatever you might need. I know there have been some negative comments that have been mentioned in past reviews, but truly we didn't have any complaints. One review mentions that they saw rats and I want to address that. Those are NOT rats, and in fact, you might see a mongoose or two, which were brought onto the island decades ago to control the rat population (google it). They are not to be touched or approached, however, and if one is nearby, leave it alone. Other than that, there are beautiful birds, gorgeous landscaping and of course, the most amazing crystal clear water. Oh, I forgot to mention the pool-- as I said, we are not pool people, but the nice thing about the main pool at Keyonna is that because so many guests have their own plunge pools, the general pool is usually empty, quite warm, and has nice shady chairs with umbrellas when you need time away from the sun. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Keyonna Beach Resort!
