Coyaba Beach Resort

The location is superb, about 20 minutes form the airport, on the Grand Anse beach claimed to be one of the best in the Caribbean. From the moment we arrived we were treated with courtesy, welcomed with a rum punch, and the most polite and welcoming members of staff. The junior suite was large clean and comfortable with plenty of storage space, ironing board and iron plus spare bedding. Ours was a first floor room with balcony overlooking the pool, restaurants and beach. The gardens were immaculate and well tended with , again, polite and friendly staff. Various managers approached us throughout our holiday checking that we were perfectly happy with the facilities and services, which we were. The pool is small and adequate for cooling off and the poolside bars staff were a delight. Nothing was any trouble for them. The adjoining beach is separate from the property and security ensure no hawkers bother you, although we only every saw two all of our ten night stay there. The beach is perfect. Clean, sandy and beautiful. The water was warm and welcoming, clear with little fear of currents. The beach side bar was a delight with a rota of equally polite and welcoming staff. Alongside was a scuba diving facility where novices could get a full days lessons , initially in the pool but later in the day with a trip into the sea, for around £150. The meals were super too. A reasonable variation each day in the a la carte restaurant but the poolside restaurant was equally enjoyable. Breakfast was plentiful and was buffet style from 6.30 until 10. Sleep quality was very good although it took us a day or two to set up the air conditioning unit to our liking. The unit leaked water once and we reported it and it was immediately resolved. The bars served an enormous amount of cocktails special to the island and hotel, but they were very enjoyable. We met three or four couples who had stayed here before and keep coming back. I can see why. TUI, who we booked the holiday though, you have excelled yourselves finding this treasure. Read less

My wife and I stayed here in August and had a great time here. The island of Grenada is beautiful, and the hotel is perfectly situated to be able to access many of the top sites. A must-stay for those looking for a relaxing, tropical holiday. Check in We found check-in to be a little underwhelming. The porter who greeted us when we got out of the car, was enthusiastic and very welcoming; however, the same could not be said for the member of staff at reception. There was no real smile, we were given a form to fill-in and sign and not made to fill that welcome during the whole process. The fact that after a long day of travelling, we had to fill these forms in whilst standing and we’re not offered a seat did not make us feel particularly special or welcome. We were given a fruit cocktail or a rum punch and a cold towel which was very welcome and refreshing. After filling these forms in, we were then taken to our room. Sadly, there was a mixup from the front desk as to which room we should have been allocated to. This led to the Porter opening the room that we thought we should have only to find that it was already occupied by other guests And for us to see this guest in a state of undress. This was incredibly embarrassing for us and in particular, the poor gentleman who we had walked in upon. I understand that this is not common practice however hopefully lessons have been learned and new protocols have been put in place to ensure that no one has to experience this again. Accommodation The rooms are a little dated, no USB ports and limited plugs. However, they were incredibly comfortable, and a decent size. They were kept clean throughout the week, and a turn-down service is also provided, which is a nice touch. There is a mini-fridge in the room which is empty. Water is not provided as the water from the taps is safe to drink. There is a shop just over the road if you prefer bottled water. Food and Drink The food and drink across the week was delicious. Breakfast was a buffet style, and there was an egg station where they would cook you eggs of your choice fresh for you. Lunch was also a buffet style, although there was also the choice of choosing off the menu if you wanted. The lunch menu was generally things like burgers, sandwiches etc. These were all tasty. The buffet was generally local cuisine and also very nice. Dinner was generally a-la-carte (there were a couple of times when it was buffet - bbq and Indian food) and was lovely. There was usually a choice of four different meals, with one of them being vegetarian. We stayed for 10 nights, and did not have a repeat menu in that time. In regards to drinks, the bar next to the pool opened at 8am, and you were able to get any drink from this time. There were a range of cocktails available as part of the all inclusive, the wine was nice and the beer always refreshing. We took cups to keep our drinks cold, which was a great choice and highly recommended. Staff The staff were generally brilliant: polite, eager to please, and many would remember your regular drink order. The majority of staff, even if they are not directly guest facing (security, gardeners etc) greeted us with a smile and a friendly greeting to ensure that we felt welcome. Grounds and Location The airport is only a short drive away, which is another good point. The hotel is situated on the Grand Anse Beach, so the location is perfect. The sand is lovely and soft, and the water is warm. The grounds inside the hotel are well-maintained, and the staff looking after them work incredibly hard. Another bonus is that there is a wonderful dive school on the grounds which will cater for novices who want to learn, to experienced divers. Overall, our trip to Coyaba bay was fantastic. The hotel is is quite small, which is just what we were looking for. However, for those who are after a party vibe, this is probably not the place for you. Yes there was a rocky start, but the overall holiday was wonderful, and we would definitely come back again. Read less

What a fantastic place. The location is beautiful. Food & drink - It's a relatively small hotel, so don't expect a hue selection, but there is plenty and the quality is excellent. A great variety over the course of the week with some fantastic flavours. Enjoyed every meal. The bars have a great selection of freshly made cocktails plus beer, rum punch etc. Location - amazing beach with beautiful calm sea. Picture postcard perfect. Hotel has well kept gardens Facilities - gym is small and a lot of the equipment is broken, so limited use. Pool is small but pleasant. It's all you need with such a great beach so close. Played pickelball a couple of times. Good court and equipment. Hotel activities - Good live music some evenings, but finishes aroud 22:00. Not a lively hotel, but cosy with lots of people to talk to. Excursions - Did a catamaran trip to see underwater statues. A great way of spending 5 hours. Not at all busy when we went. Easy to catch bus into St Georges but not much there really. you can get duty free from the mall over the road. Rum and spices recommended. Also did the tubes going down the rapids which was a great trip including some great monkey photos. Rooms and staff - Rooms had everything we needed and were clean. Staff were friendly and genuine. Grenada has a very low crime rate and the people are lovely. Read less

We (my wife, daughter and I) stayed here for two weeks and if August and into September and we had a fabulous time. Food was very good and contrary to some other reviews on here we did not get bored with choices (other than at breakfast when there was a lack of cold meats and cheeses which I particularly enjoy). The vast majority of staff were attentive, friendly and helpful at all times and a credit to the hotel (with the exception of one rather abrupt female on reception one day and a couple of waiting staff at dinner one evening). The hotel itself is ideally located as it backs onto Grand Anse beach which is undoubtedly one of the best beaches in the Caribbean if not the world! Would we return? Well, we are already looking at it for next year! Enough said! Read less
