Keyonna Beach

It’s hard to put into words how amazing, beautiful, and magical Keyonna is. If you’re trying to decide on a resort, look no further. This was our fourth visit to Antigua and our third stay at Keyonna. Earlier this year, we decided to venture out to a different resort, just to make sure we weren’t missing anything. Since we had only experienced Keyonna, we didn’t know what else might be out there. While the other resort was nice, we found ourselves missing Keyonna the whole time. There is nothing better than having your own little slice of paradise. It truly feels like you’re renting a private property: your own cottage, your own pool, your own loungers, Bali bed, lunch table, and most importantly, your own stretch of beach. You never have to worry about anyone camping out in front of you or swiping your chairs. And what’s better than walking out your door directly into the sand, just steps from the ocean? You’re not going to find all of this anywhere else in Antigua. The beach service, the meals, check‑in/check‑out—everything is exceptional. Every time we leave, it feels like leaving family behind. They went above and beyond to make my husband’s birthday special, with a beautiful dinner and a birthday song. They even arranged a couple of other surprises for us that we’ll keep between us and them. We were amazed and felt genuinely loved the entire time. The meals are divine. And who would have thought a beet and carrot smoothie at breakfast could be so good? Trust me—try it. We left wondering how we could recreate them at home, though I don’t think they’re giving away their secrets! We stayed in Room 42 and I didn’t think anything could top our 2021 honeymoon room (Room 25). The beachfront sanctuary rooms are incredible—private and quiet, surrounded by lush foliage, white sands, flowers, and birds humming around. We did so much reading and unwinding from the hustle and bustle of work; I honestly don’t think you can be more relaxed anywhere else. There is so much more I could say about Keyonna, but I’m guilty of writing novels. So I’ll wrap it up by mentioning the family we love there, how they welcomed us, took care of us, and how we can’t wait to see them again soon. First, Sendy‑Ann—the Queen! We’ve known her since our honeymoon in 2021, and she has always been such a bright light for us. She is such an asset to Keyonna, and it’s an honor to be in her presence. She alone brings us so much joy the moment we arrive. Thank you for making our stay so special, and for the welcome card—it’s now sitting next to your beautiful painting in our home. Deshaune, our beach server, was amazing—and Reba on the days he was off. Both did a fantastic job and always seemed to show up at exactly the right time. Tevin didn’t get to serve us this trip, but he made a point to come see us; he’s also one of our dear friends there. You’re in good hands with any of these three! Gerri‑Lee at dinner was wonderful—she made my husband’s birthday dinner and every other dinner feel special. We absolutely loved her and were overjoyed each time we saw she’d be taking care of us. Gail Ann was our room ambassador, and no one does it like she does. I need to take notes from her for my own home—she’s amazing and so pleasant. To Ryancia, Deon, Ceon, Lydia, Rocky, Omarion, Denesha, and Aurillas: thank you all for being amazing, accommodating, and friendly, and for continuously bringing out the beauty of Antigua with your grace and kindness. If you see the lovely Ms. Joset walking up and down the beach selling her items, please don’t disregard her. She works so hard carrying her basket and scarves in the heat throughout the day. She has beautiful bracelets, magnets, shot glasses, key chains, and more. Tell her Eric and Tanya said hi! Oh, and one small request: could someone please ask the owner to create Keyonna beach bags—or any kind of Keyonna bags—for the gift shop? We bought some hats, but we were really hoping the new/upgraded shop would have Keyonna bags. You will always be the best, Keyonna. Until we meet again.

We stayed here to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary....it was pure paradise!! We did a short trip of only 4 days, so we did not leave the resort. We stayed in one of the plunge pool beachfront cottages and only really left to go to the restaurant. The plunge pool was the perfect temperature for a dip about anytime of day. I loved laying in the bali bed to read daily while my husband enjoyed the crystal clear water. HIGHLY recommend heading to Keyonna for a couples only vacation!! (note....my husband and I never go back to the same place twice as we believe there are too many places in the world to see to frequent anyplace twice. However, we have already decided that we will be returning in the future due to the great accomodations and excellent staff!!!)

We stayed for a week 09/12 - 09/19 in a beachside plunge pool cottage. The staff is friendly and the food was good. Our cottage was great and the grounds were, too. Beautiful water but the snorkeling equipment needs a serious upgrade.; we mentioned that, but I didn't see anything change while we were there. Better to take your own if that is important to you. I was disappointed in the dark decor and furnishings throughout the resort. I expected a more colorful Caribbean vibe, look & feel. And the mosquitoes are a constant companion. We had to spray our legs & ankles at each meal. The temp is always in the 80s and we didn't really enjoy sweating at dinner with only some fans to cool things off.

a very special layed back hotel resort for people that like space and quiet, the hotel staff in all functions are amazing and the location is exceptional.

Amazing location with freindly staff, beautiful beaches and fantastic food and drink. Would recommend to anyone after a private remote room that also has all inclusive options
