Keyonna Beach

Just a quick review of our quick trip for my wife's birthday. What a wonderful, gem of a resort that Keyonna is. We absolutely loved it. Service and hospitality were outstanding. The beach, cabana and beach service were excellent. Proper shout out to Ferren for taking such good care of us, she was outstanding. Our room (34) was as advertised, quaint, but stocked and ready for us. Unfortunately, one evening the AC decided it had had enough and quit working about 3am. Maintenance was on the job as soon as they could get someone out to the room and took care of it while we were at the beach. Truly remarkable attention and service there. Only a minor, unforeseeable inconvenience. The food for each meal and at the beach grill were quite good. We enjoyed the non buffet experience. Dinners were outstanding and the entertainment varied and enjoyable each night. We would definitely come back for a longer stay, we even contemplated two more days our last day! I cannot recommend Keyonna enough for a couple who want to skip the large resort life and just relax in paradise and be taken care of as if you are the only couple there. Truly a wonderful experience.

We absolutely loved our stay at Keyonna Beach Resort. We stayed in one of the plunge pool cottages, and both the accommodations and the location were perfect. The staff was exceptional, consistently providing warm, attentive service that made us feel truly welcomed throughout our stay. The food and drinks were outstanding and noticeably better than those at many other all-inclusive resorts we have visited throughout the Caribbean. The nightly entertainment was thoughtfully curated, perfectly complementing the resort’s laid-back and relaxing atmosphere while enhancing the overall experience. Keyonna Beach offers the closest thing to a private island getaway, complete with all the amenities and comforts you could want, but at a much more affordable price. The combination of privacy, exceptional service, excellent dining, and breathtaking surroundings makes this resort truly special. We can't wait to return and will definitely be booking another stay at Keyonna Beach.

Keyonna is a beautiful resort set on an even more beautiful beach. Our pool plunge bungalow was exceptional. The bed was comfortable, the outdoor shower was amazing and the pool deck was great. Our private Bali bed and chairs on the beach were a nice touch. The beach is very quiet and calm. This is the perfect place for a relaxing, romantic vacation. Food and drinks at the resort were great. I enjoyed every meal. My husband is a bit pickier (no fish, no dairy) and always found something to eat, but didn’t necessarily enjoy it. The reason for 4 stars is the inconsistent service. We had some wait staff who were incredible, especially at dinner. Beach grill service was excellent. Breakfast and lunch was hit or miss. Things like forgetting to bring a dish and not refilling water cups. Some staff were extremely friendly and pleasant, while others seemed like we were bothering them to take our order. We had a wonderful vacation and the resort was exactly what we were looking for.

My wife and I visited Keyonna Beach to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. I did extensive research of the resorts in Antigua and eventually decided on Keyonna, and I am happy I did so. We stayed in a Garden Plunge Pool room, which was very nice and rustic themed. The outdoor shower and plunge pool were great additions. I didn't think we would use these much, but we loved them! The staff were also very accommodating regarding the location of our room. In general, everyone we interacted with at Keyonna were extraordinarily nice and did everything they could to make us happy. When my wife asked for a shower cap, and they didn't have one, one of the staff members picked one up later on that day at the store. When we requested a late checkout... they said no problem! The beach and personal Bali bed were excellent. Even though my side of the beach had Bali beds next to each other, we always felt like we were on our own. The sand and water were very clean, and our bed was made each morning. We happened to be directly next to the grill, which was convenient. Although the beach is open the public, no one ever bothered us. The staff around the pool were attentive to our needs. I was worried about staying at a resort with only one restaurant... but it was fantastic. I am a picky eater, but enjoyed everything I ate. The portions were quite small compared to what I am used to (maybe it's an American thing), but the staff were totally okay with me ordering as many of something as I wanted or multiple types if dishes. During dinner, the waiters were very attentive to our needs and refilling wine. I also enjoyed the burgers at the grill. I did not try room service because I didn't want to miss going to the restaurant! Also, the views of the beach from the restaurant are remarkable. If I had to think about any kind of critique, I would say that the outdoor/plunge pool area behind the rooms could use some more light. Maybe spotlights around the plunge pools. The bathroom in the room could also use a little more light, but that could have just been my particular room. I read a lot of reviews about the mosquitos... and initially I didn't understand why. However, after a few days of intermittent showers, I realized what they were talking about. As long as you bring bug spray and use the netting around your bed at night, it isn't such a problem. Overall, I would definitely return to Keyonna Beach in the future and recommend it to anyone seeking a relaxing vacation. It is the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion or simply get away!

Solid, solid resort for sure. But not 5 star. Food was amazing. Beach and water amazing, maybe some of the best I have ever seen. Not one piece of sargassum. Clear as can be and almost not strong current. We could float for hours in the ocean and not fight the tide. Those are the best parts of the resort. Rooms - we were lucky. We got one of the walk out plunge pool rooms close to the ocean. Rooms number at 40-48 or so. These are the best location for pool, privacy and location tot he beach and main restaurant. Maybe of the other rooms may have been fine, but your beach chairs were elbow to elbow with everyone else. Now, major downside and why this is a struggle for me. Sleeping a night seems impossible. Crickets, mocking jays, roosters, wild dogs fighting, road noise, foliage banging against the roof during windy nights, and pools that are leaking so when the water gets low the pumps are sucking air through them making the loudest whining noise. It was unreal. And, the AC light on the wall does not have an off so it shines like the brightest night light in the room. One more thing, the wooden floor boards creak so good luck going to the bathroom in the middle of the night or sneaking out for morning coffee. Not possible to be quiet. This honestly is the biggest downside. If you can sleep through all that then good for you. On to the food. Amazing. BUT, hear me out. The menu will scare you at first. Very small and maybe 5 entrees total. But, they tend to be accommodating. Add shrimp to the vegetarian pasta for example. We tried three entrees every night and always had a salad to start. Generally everything was great. If you are a picky eater, this will scare you. My biggest compliant that can be controlled service. People are really friendly and nice. However, response times are slow. They use texting to request things but don't check. Dinner service was amazing. Lunch and breakfast service was fine but we laughed at the amount of times other peoples food was brought to our table or they forget an item. One restaurant, no TVs, spotty wifi. Just be prepared. The resort could use some capital improvements. You will get gnats/bugs in your room.
