Keyonna Beach

Keyonna is a resort everyone should experience. It's not like any other place I have ever stayed. It's uniqueness with the individual villas, pools, and open air restaurant made you feel like you spent a lot more than you did. When you combine this with the staff that makes everyone feel like a VIP, it's unbelievable.

Our stay at Keyonna Resort was, unfortunately, one of the most uncomfortable and distressing vacations we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, the resort felt nothing like the peaceful, boutique retreat we expected. We went in with high hopes, especially after reading so many glowing reviews. The situation became immediately concerning when we learned—only at check-in—that the entire property is fogged with pesticides every other day from 5–6pm, right before dinner. This was never disclosed on the website or in any pre-arrival communication. Staff asked about food allergies, yet made no inquiry about respiratory issues or chemical sensitivities, despite routinely exposing guests to unidentified chemicals. The problems didn’t end there. We saw a rat (not a mongoose!) run through the dining area, which completely ruined our appetite and sense of sanitation. In our room, we found cockroaches in the bedroom, leaving us unable to relax or sleep comfortably. The resort supplies Raid insecticide sprays in the room—adding yet another layer of chemical exposure we never asked for. It became clear the property had serious pest and hygiene issues that the staff, despite their kindness, simply could not resolve. After just two days, we were so overwhelmed and uncomfortable that we asked to be transferred to their sister resort, COCOS. Even then, I was already at the point of wanting to go home. We kept leaving the property just to escape the environment, spending far more money than expected in an attempt to salvage our trip. Although the staff at Keyonna were genuinely warm and tried their best, the conditions of the resort made the stay unbearable. Between the undisclosed pesticide fogging, the rat in the dining room, cockroaches in the bedroom, and indoor Raid sprays, this was a vacation we couldn’t wait to end. We cannot recommend Keyonna Resort based on our experience.

Honestly our favourite place, I’ve have not written a review on here before, but wanted to for these guys. It is BEAUTIFUL, pristine beach, great snorkelling , perfect sunsets and rum punch, delicious food, comfy beds, incredible wildlife, amazing team (that’s how to do hospitality!), cannot wait to go back (for the third time!).

This is a very quiet resort with a wonderful beach which is easy to swim out of and snorkeling at the rocks is great. We went for the quiet, intimate, adults only for our 10th wedding anniversary, and this place was absolutely perfect. Each room has an assigned Bali Bed and lounge chairs which is a super nice tough. Highly Recommended!!!

If you are looking for a place to stay, out of the hustle/bustle of the island, with white sandy beaches, romantic atmosphere, exceptional food/beverages and a 5 star staff, Keyonna Beach is the place to go! We will, definitely, be back soon!!!
