Keyonna Beach

A definite "fly and flop" holiday needed and Keyonna Beach delivered - no disappointments. From arrival to departure it was hassle free. Starting with the great...... Location on Turners Beach - stunning, watching the sun set over Monserrat and Nevis was breathtaking each night. We walked the beach several times each morning to get the Strava steps in. Rooms - we had 61 were wonderful, spacious, good aircon, outdoor showers, huge bed and stunning raised view over beach and sea. 5 min walk to restaurant - needed with all the lovely food. Now the good........ The Keyonna Beach team were lovely - so many smiles and lovely laid back service. I will give a special mention to Sheldon in restaurant who made the birthday beach meal very special for my wife, Aurellius (sorry if misspelt) was a great front of house (every bad joke aside - great chap) Aron - our beach barman was coolness personified and great service all day long. Rocky and Daniel on reception shout out too. Even though it was a fly and flop we did a few events - shuttle bus to St Johns was worthwhile (local taxi charge), Sunset Cruise via Treasure Island was fantastic (pay locally), morning climb up Boggy Peak/Mount Obama was an unexpected gem (free but we tipped our guide $20), and a lunch at Catherine's Cafe at Pidgeon Point/English Harbour was well worth the taxi. Keyonna food was good in restaurant for all meals, bar was well stocked and you never go thirsty is drinking is your aim (it wasn't our main goal) The bugs - no issues at all - just spray your room and legs regularly - they die quickly. Could it be better? .......... it is often classified as rustic and I agree it has an unsophisticated charm. I suggest though it could be improved - the beach has suffered some storm damage and needs a tidy as walls are falling into waves. Some of the beach beds need replacing and some look perilously close to falling into sea too. Think an on site gym maybe a good addition in due course. Restaurant area maybe a sprucing up and better lighting. I thought many of the Keyonna team were very good but not 100% by them all. We all have bad days at work but some of waiting team were not the friendliest and maybe needed more training. And yes my wife's birthday card and fizz were a day late but that's Antigua time I guess. Hey but these are only minor suggestions - overall it was a fantastic December 2025 break. We love Antigua and will definitely return - to Keyonna Beach - we will see. Thanks to the whole team for a lovely week. Tony & Kate White December 2025

The overall experience was relaxing. This small resort makes you feel like you have someone tending to your every need on a regular basis. The staff was excellent from the beginning to the end of our time there. I know I'll forget someone by accident but Rocky, Syvannah, Trish, Reba, and the whole crew were fantastic. Excellent views from our room, the beach, and the restaurant. The food was excellent at the single restaurant as the menu changed regularly. The beach grill with Gene always smiling and greeting us as we walked by.

We just returned from an amazing week at Keyonna! The location on the beach is gorgeous and peaceful and we loved everything about the resort (except maybe the number of bug bites we got)! We always prefer swimming in the ocean so weren't interested in the plunge pool and booked a sunset beachfront room. We were in #12 which is in the main building on the ground floor but we had our own path to the beach and our beach bed cabana and lounge chairs were private and surrounded by beautiful green foliage. The furniture in the room was a bit worn/rustic but was spacious with cool AC, hot shower, and comfortably firm bed. The staff are all friendly and attentive and provided great service! Really they are all wonderful, but we appreciated especially Aurelius and Sendy-Ann at check-in, Tevin and DeShaune for beach service, and Trish and Maria for dinner service. I also took the aqua aerobics class in the pool with Sally and she was fantastic and encouraging. The aqua aerobics helped offset the delicious food and drinks we had! We enjoyed all the meals and thought the portions were just right and presented nicely. The only minor thing is that sometimes the menu descriptions/ingredients are not always included in the dish; for example the burger said it had cheese and bacon but we did not get them either time ordered; the smoked salmon breakfast said it included cream cheese, onion, capers, and tomato and of the 2 times ordered, it never came with tomato and once only had cream cheese. But everything always tasted good! We went mainly for relaxation, warmth, and beach, but there are various offerings by the resort each day. Some are free and some cost extra - check the daily activity board and ask about anything. We did the sunset hike and we're taxied by Brenda to a local guide named Sissler who showed us local plants and fruits while we walked through the area, which was very nice. We loved our stay at Keyonna and Antigua overall and hope to return someday!

This was our 2nd stay at Keyonna Beach, the first time was back in 2016. We were delighted that despite the increase in the number of cottages, the relaxed laid back atmosphere and the service provided by the staff was still excellent. We immediately settled into "relaxed holiday mode". We stayed in a sanctuary plunge pool cottage, amazingly next door to the one we had stayed in prevously. The in-room facilities were excellent, lovely shower gel, shampoo and conditioner, the minibar was stocked with items we had requested. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and a mosquito net was provided. Air con was very effective. The deck furniture and plunge pool were fabulous. The food was really good and there was always plenty of cold water available at the table, meal service was excellent. The snorkelling was really good and and it looked as if a lot of work had been done to regenerate the reef. We had a fabulous time - Thank you Team Keyonna

Lovely rustic hotel, staff are amazing so friendly & helpful. Food lovely served à la carte and drinks plentiful particularly the beach service ! We will 100% return
