Coyaba Beach Resort

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by warm, welcoming staff and a bright, spotless room that immediately set the tone for our stay. And it only got better from there! The beach was stunning, the views were breathtaking, and the overall vibe was exactly what I needed for a truly relaxing vacation. The staff are truly top-notch, always kind, attentive, and going above and beyond. The food? Never boring! Every meal offered a fresh variety, full of flavor and care. As for fresh fruit plenty around and I implore you to utilize the local guy offering fresh mangos beach side every day! To anyone hesitant due to the lack of online reviews (like I was), let me say: don’t let that stop you. This place exceeded my expectations, and I’ve already made up my mind to return next year. As for the complainers? Maybe a vacation at home would suit them better as this place is a gem. Read less

We had a 14 night stay at this hotel and it was as we expected overall for a 4 * hotel in the West Indies. The Welcome was excellent and we were shown to our room (233) where it had all we needed for a stay and was clean in every aspect, yes it needs some TLC and maybe the light switch for the bathroom could be better placed the other side of the door (left hand side, not inside) would be better, however I am guessing that this is done so the door has to be shut so the AC doesn't get interrupted but the open Bathroom window! The food selection as again was as expected and matched what other reviews had mentioned so it wasn't a surprise to see that Breakfast was lacking fruit options. Which bearing in mind when we did an island trip the fruit was everywhere to be seen, but didn't seem to make it to the hotel, and we only got bananas when we asked for them. Full on Egg Station and other cooked food, toast, pastries and juices all OK. This fruit option seems to be a regular review comment so maybe this needs to be addressed? Lunch was good and freshly cooked. Evening Meals as expected again based on reviews, and yes some options there is a supplement, but in the realm of things it it only a few EC Dollars and after all you are on holiday! Bar staff always on hand to make drinks / cocktails and open a bottle of either Stag or Carib in any of the bars. We went out of season so sometimes you have to wait a while as the staff do other things, but no issues. So premium drinks like proper Baileys is again a few EC Dollars. PS: Tip as you go! Although we went in the Rainy Season we hardly saw any rain as it comes mainly at night, a few clouds but always + 28 degrees. It was nice to see the Food and Beverage Manager (Sorry forgot his name) he came and spoke to us one evening for about an hour and next morning he greeted every member of staff in the restaurant and visited every table to see all was OK (Nice Touch) and we won't mention the pigeon soup again!!! We did 2 trips 1) Round the island an all day trip which is well worth it if only to see the Rum Factory and sample some!! 2) we did the Champagne and Shrimp Cruise which was excellent and we snorkeled round the man made sculptures with lunch on a remote island. Lunch was BBQ Shrimp and Salad with Champagne or Beer or even both. The Vegetarian option was also good. Both of these were excellent value. If you go to the town on the Bus it is the number 1 bus, and whilst hairy a experience you just have to do it. One day the gardeners were trimming the trees and prepared fresh coconuts and added some flowers to them and took to people round the pool again a nice touch PS: Tip. The gardens and grounds are really nice and tidy. The Pool area was very peaceful again out of season as you would expect and only 16 Sun Beds, but there was no more than 8 used at one time! You Pool Towels are swapped every night from you room when the beds are turned down. If you fancy a short walk of about 50 yards visit "Umbrella" the bar next door. Only 1 negative for us and this was out of the hotels hands. There is a small area / park about 100 yards away and for 3 night there seemed to be a local gathering and loud music until the early hours. Read less

Lovely friendly family run hotel. The grounds and gardens are stunning and the garden maintenance team do an excellent job. The rooms are nicely situated, no one over looking you, very comfortable rooms with daily towel changes including beach towels, daily cleaning service absolutely no complaints. The staff are so friendly and courteous and always willing to assist you, I like fresh milk with my tea and coffee in the room and they were always happy to provide me with a jug. There are three bars which were always manned, the beach bar closing at 6.30/7pm perfect place to watch the sunset. The gardens and beach have plenty of sunbeds so no need to put your towels out at 5am, not something I have ever done but I have seen it happen in many places and it is very annoying and inconsiderate. We were there 14 nights and whilst some complain there is not enough variety we had something different every lunch and dinner, the fish was superb, again the breakfast had plenty of choice, those that complain are usually looking for the same you would have at home, for us we were in Grenada and happy to try their dishes. Evening entertainment was 4 or 5 times a week and all of the singers and steel bands were excellent getting a lot of us up dancing, encouraged by three fantastic barmen, Chad, Joel and Kevon who were a complete joy, thank you. So many I would like to mention but as always don't want to miss anyone out as you were all fabulous. We did the Lobster /Catamaran trip, not particularly cheap but much more refined than the general BBQ boat trips and we had a great day. Will we back, yes excellent holiday, so relaxing and would definitely recommend particularly for couples. Read less

Check-in was easy, quick and the welcome drink went down a treat! We were delighted with our room which was steps away from the garden, restaurant and beach. Air conditioning was excellent and the room was spacious, very clean and comfortable. This is the first hotel I have been to where the sun loungers outnumber the guests, so no issues with finding the perfect spot! Before travelling I read some reviews about the food which concerned me and I resigned myself to perhaps finding the food below par. However, I don't know what the previous people's palate is, but mine is certainly different! The food was excellent, varied and plentiful and was presented (when ordered from the menu) in a professional, culinary manner. We enjoyed the buffet service at lunchtime and table service in the evening. If you wanted an additional bread roll or something that you had previously enjoyed, you just had to ask and it was provided with a smile! There was no need to pay for additional premium drinks as what was available was of a good quality. Staff were always friendly and helpful. We would recommend the Sunset Cruise as it was one of our special memories. The resort is 'fogged' twice a week which seems to help eradicate the mosquitos, but I would suggest additional precautions (I brought pestects bracelets and repellent which were great). Also, you can access your Netflix account on the room TV which we discovered a few days in. Water sports are available but we noticed that a few people brought their own snorkels. The sea is wonderfully clear and there are many fishes to be seen very close to the water's edge. We were there at the start of the rainy season and had just one day of constantly dodging the showers. The rest of the time a brief respite from the sun was actually very welcome. This is a relaxing holiday and although there were a few families, it is predominantly couples. Day passes are available and these do seem to be used by locals. It is a very popular hotel due to it being family owned and has an excellent local reputation. The gardens are stunning and very well maintained. On our last day, they were harvesting the coconuts and encouraged us to drink the coconut water which was delicious! Read less

We stayed at this hotel eight years ago and were pleased to see not too much had changed, apart from the great addition of a beach bar, The Cove. On arrival we were warmly welcomed with a lovely cold flannel and great rum punch! Check-in was quick and easy and the hotel had accommodated our request to have two rooms next to each other (we were holidaying with family but separate bookings). The rooms were traditionally furnished, wonderfully cool and light, the large bed was particuarly comfortable and the bathroom (with its large shower) was spotless (the toiletries were lovely as well!). Breakfast was self-service and there was always a good variety on offer (either cold meat, cheese, pastries and cooked), plus of course the egg station. Tea/Coffee was brought to the table and help yourself to juices. Lunch could be had in the main restaurant or if more of a snack was wanted you could go the other restaurant near the pool. Evening meals varied from buffet to a la carte - we were staying for two weeks and only one night we felt the meal was a little dry, however we later learnt that you could ask for extra sauce/gravy. There was a good choice from fish or meat and thankfully not a chip in sight! There was also a range of vegetables, although in typical Caribbean fashion served a little on the hard side for our personal liking. There was entertainment most nights, usually a band or steel pans - unfortunately the singers were far too loud and made for very difficult conversation. There is also a Manager's evening once a week where they come and chat with you, and you also have the chance to buy jewellery, spices etc from the local traders. The setting and staff are what sets this hotel apart, everyone was very friendly and helpful and took the time to chat (if you wanted). The gardens are beautiful and tidied every day, and the beach (with its golden sand) swept clean each morning. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday here and would have no hesitation in returning.
