Coyaba Beach Resort

The day pass was horrible, when we contacted the hotel we were told that the day pass included 4 alcohol drink per person as it was 3 person, why would you say 4 and when we went to the bar we were told two, when explaining this information please ensure that the customer is given proper information, plus the bartender service was very poor. Can you believe we spent monies to receive bad service. Come on this experience was the worst, I complained to front desk and spoke to Deloris about the situation and she made mention I can speak to management, no one came to apologized or gave us a call back. We will definitely not go back. Read less

Coyaba means be enchanted - and we were. The resort, its gardens and its position on Grand Anse beach ticks all the boxes. The staff are amazing and Roderick helped us sort out a trip out around the island which allowed us to see the real Grenada. Some other reviews mention the food and how repetitive it is - my hubby and I do not agree with this, all the food was of a high standard from the egg station and fruit choices for breakfast, to the delicious sandwiches at lunch and then the a la carte meals in the evening. As for the rum and raisin, coconut or nutmeg ice creams - absolutely stunning. We got the bus into Saint George’s - 5 ECD for the 2 of us - an experience we’d recommend! Would we go back? Definitely. Coyaba is the perfect resort to put your feet up and relax. It’s not a party resort but is friendly, typically Caribbean and well worth the 10 hour flight. Read less

After a long flight, we were greeted at the hotel with a rum punch and a cool flannel, our check in was quick and easy. Our first impressions of the hotel were 'wow', as Coyaba Beach has the most beautiful, immaculate gardens, which lead straight onto the beach. Our room was perfectly adequate, and, most importantly, it was clean, and throughout our stay, we were continually provided with fresh towels. We were on the ground floor with a lovely terrace, just a stone's throw from the beach. Grand Anse beach is stunning, with crystal clear sea and an idyllic, sandy beach, so location could not be better. At the front of the hotel there are some shops and a bank, so everything you need is in walking distance. We used the bus to go to St Georges on a couple of occasions, and it is very efficient. It stops wherever you want. We did several trips in Grenada, all of which were very good, and we used the ferry to do a day trip to Carriacou, which I would recommend. Now for the food. Breakfast was fine. If I was being picky, I'd have liked a better choice of fruit, but my husband was more than happy with his bacon and sausages. The egg station was very good, and they'd cook you omelette, fried eggs, pancakes, etc. to order. At lunch, you had the choice of two restaurants, the buffet or poolside. The buffet restaurant did have some nice salads but in general the food was very samey. The veg was predominantly green beans, carrot, and pumpkin, and it did get boring over two weeks. The poolside restaurant did toasties, chips, burgers, and similar food, but it took a very long time to get served. Now, here is my negative and the reason I didn't give 5 stars. The evening meal was a big disappointment. The ala carte menu was not to a high standard. One evening I had a risotto that was inedible as it had congealed. The portions were very small and on our first Sunday evening ( mother's day) the hotel had been hectic at lunch time with day guests, so maybe that was the reason for the awful evening meal which was stone cold. The wait between courses was far too long, and I witnessed other guests complaining, too. However, on Saturdsy evenings, there was a buffet, and the pasta station was excellent as the food was hot, freshly cooked, tasty, and you could have as much as you wanted. The desserts were also tiny and nothing special. After several below par meals, I asked to see the restaurant manager. I explained to him that the portions were very small and not to the standard we have experienced in other all-inclusive resorts. His response was that the older age of the clientele preferred small portions. Being in our 60s, I found this a ridiculous statement. I pointed out that I wasn't being served with enough veg. The next night,thecwaiter whispered to me, " you have extra veg", instead of one small round slice of carrot, I had two, I had two pieces of green bean instead of one and an extra cube of pumpkin. It was laughable. I gave the manager a chance to do something about it, and he failed. The following evenings were the same as the first week. Itvwas the evening meals thst let the hotel down. The drinks were good, I enjoyed some lovely cocktails, and the cocktail list had an excellent selection. We especially enjoyed some early evening visits to the beach bar for a beer or glass of wine while we watched the stunning sunsets. Overall, this was such a wonderful place to have a holiday, but due to the evening meal situation, we felt we could only give 4 stars rather than 5. Sadly, this would also be the reason we wouldn't return. Read less

We visited Grenada & Coyaba Beach Resort for a 2 week stay in May. Easy transfer from the airport (10-15 mins) which was welcome after a long flight with Virgin via Barbados. Upon arrival, just before 3pm we were told our room wasn’t ready but we were welcomed with rum punch so it was no problem. However as other guests from our flight began to arrive and also the BA flight afterwards everyone was going to their rooms and we were still sitting in reception which is open air and boiling hot. We were told that someone had a late check out which had delayed the turnaround but we didn’t get to our rooms until 5pm by which time we were really hot, fed up and annoyed. To be fair the hotel were very apologetic and did deliver a bottle of sparking wine but not the greatest start. The hotel is fairly small but on the most stunning part of Grand Anse beach with beautiful gardens very proudly maintained by the amazing grounds staff. Rooms are basic and a little dated but perfectly adequate with good air con a walk in shower and we had 2 queen size beds. The aircon took some getting used to and was quite ferocious! Staff here are amazing, they are all so friendly and most seem to have worked at the hotel for years. It was a pleasure to chat with them about their beautiful island. The main issue we had and the only reason we’ve given four stars is the food. It was pretty dull and repetitive with really small portions at night and the menus never really changed. Also there was nowhere to really grab a snack lunch, there was a small buffet or the pool bar which was really slow service and the same menu everyday. At night it was the same menu in the main restaurant where men had to wear collared shirts, closed shoes and smart shorts/long trousers and the pool bar which was casual attire. Found this a little strange. For a change we ate out a few times next door at Umbrella’s which had a fab atmosphere, great cocktails and lovely food and also showed sports and had great live music. We also had a special meal for my birthday at The Aquarium restaurant on Magazine beach about a 10 min taxi ride which was amazing. This was organised through the hotel guest services and I even had a cake and candles as they told them it was my birthday. Really recommend both these restaurants. Grenada is very beautiful, very safe to travel around and explore and prices are reasonable. There is a small shopping centre opposite the hotel with a great supermarket where we went most days to get bottled water etc and it was nice to be able to walk 5 mins to the local bus stop with buses to St George for $1 each, which is an experience not to be missed! Would we return to Coyaba? Probably not purely down to the food situation as this is very important to us on holiday, but the hotel is lovely, very relaxing and on the best part of a stunning beach so it is easy to see why they get so many repeat guests Read less
