Coyaba Beach Resort

We just returned from a New Year stay at Coyaba Beach Resort. The hotel is a great place, big enough to walk around the grounds but not huge that you can get lost. We went as a couple, with our 2 year old and the only thing I would say as this is probably not the best resort for families. It is super quiet (not complaining about this) but would probably best suit couples looking for a romantic relaxing break away. There is never a fight for the few sunbeds round the pool, and you can always get a space on the beach. Despite nothing to do for young children, we did have a lovely stay and enjoyed our pool time. The majority of staff, apart from one or two were super friendly and accommodating. A special shoutout to Orsta (sorry, I think this was her name, a waitress) who was so friendly every day and so hospitable. She really added a special touch to our stay. Overall, the food is good, a lot of choice with the poolside menu and the hotel grounds are lovely. New Years was a lovely event too. Would return, just maybe as a couple this time, or adults holiday, kids may be best elsewhere with kids club/activities but understandably we did know the resort didn’t have these facilities.

After two weeks at Coyaba - I can say that is comfortably the most relaxed I have ever been.||The service from the team at the hotel is easily the best I've had from a holiday. Friendly, helpful staff. Comfortable room. Beautiful grounds and surroundings.||One thing I wasn't sure about before I went was whether, having had to go "gluten free" in the last 12 months, I was going to be limited on my choices. I wasn't. The staff, to a person, ALL understood and indeed catered for it perfectly. The pastry chef team (yes, 4 of them) apparently have been for overseas training on GF/special dietary requirements foods and dinner times were rounded off with exquisite hand made gluten free desserts that were BETTER than everyone else was getting. (Pictures attached). At breakfast, didn't have to ask for GF toast, or GF pancakes - it just magically appeared at my table. The team all took the time when I arrived (without being asked first) to verify what meals and dishes were safe for me. They even subbed out the soy sauce for GF soy sauce on the evening their chef made sushi.||Then there was the rest of the holiday - sailing each day in the hotel's Hobie Cat. Snorkel trips with the EcoDive team to the underwater sculptures and reef. David and the Guest Services team arranged a number of customised trips for us to the waterfall, nutmeg farm, Tri-Island chocolate factory and more.||The main restaurant has a dress code - which we saw subtly and politely enforced - (it does have a more casual restaurant as well) - which meant dinners were stylish affairs where you could dress up and not feel out of place.||High speed internet and wifi throughout for those that need it. Nearby supermarket for supplies (100 yards away) including a chemist.||For a wedding anniversary/Christmas/New Year holiday - it was absolutely perfect and my thanks to the ENTIRE team for their welcome, their care and attention and their friendly banter/conversation and fun.||For so many hotels - they "sell" a good holiday and talk of their "way" - in this case, the hotel UNDER sold how good they were. They're better than they promised, and they promised a lot.

Coyaba Beach was perfect for me. No constant music and noise but a tranquil natural environment which has attracted a more mature clientele and others with young families . Beautifully maintained gardens , situated beside the beach, with plenty of sunbeds. The staff are efficient, friendly and respectful. I found all attentive and courteous. They made it their duty to ensure that I was always satisfied from reception to dining room to cleaner and welcomed and listened to all feedback. The food was varied, with both delicious local Grenadian Caribbean dishes and continental an uk specialties. |This was in addition to the mall across from the hotel that had a supermarket that also sold fresh hot food and baked goods. There were also several takeaway outlets including KFC. I am still working off the weight that I as I foolishly avoided the well equipped gym. |Finally , I highly recommend the tours organised by James Tours. I had an enjoyable experience on the island tour including the rum , spice and chocolate factories and the sunset river cruise. Thank you Paul and Andy our drivers and thank you Janelle James of James tours for transparency and for locating and retrieving my expensive jacket that I had misplaced in the taxi transporting me from the Airport. I love the Grenadian people for their friendliness and humility and I felt very comfortable as a solo traveller. I will definitely return to Coyaba Beach

Lovely hotel in great location on most amazing stretch of Grand Anse beach complete with powder soft sand and turquoise water. The room was spacious and clean with a balcony overlooking the grounds which were beautiful and well kept by the hard working gardeners. The beach was a minute walk from our room and we could take loungers from grounds onto beach. Lots of trees in grounds and on beach for much needed shade. The staff were helpful and very friendly-especially the general manager who was such a lovely man. The water was filtered so drinkable and the plugs were 3 pin same as the UK! Kayaks and snorkel equipment was available.

We returned to the Coyaba for another 2 weeks after last year being so perfect. I must say it was just as special. Roderick was there to greet us with his usual warm welcome. We were swiftly given a rum punch & checked in and our cases were taken to our room which again was spotless. They had even put "Welcome back" with flowers on our bed ! We went down for a drink and some dinner - To our amazement both Anthony & Chad remembered us from last year !!! It was just like meeting old friends. The food was lovely and plentiful. Every single member of staff were (again) absolutely brilliant. Polite, friendly and did everything to make our stay special. Vanburn was always smiling. He is a true gent. I want to mention Evril & Rudi who although we were having the best time just brightened our day a bit more ! Then there is Kerona ! an absolute sweetheart. It was so lovely to see her again. As soon as we saw each other she gave me that beautiful smile & a huge welcome back hug.|Being a family run hotel, i think is what makes it so special. It really makes you feel at home.|I have never in my life up until this holiday returned to the same hotel. After last year i just felt i had to go back and I'm so glad i did & this won't be the last time either !!!!

Coyaba is not a sleek high end resort providing fine dining and luxury. What Coyaba is, is welcoming, comfortable, thoughtful and undemanding. If you want somewhere to relax and recharge come here. |The staff are unfailingly friendly and helpful. Shout out to David McKenzie who helped us plan and arrange an island tour. Also to Chad whose mission in life is to ensure you never have an empty wine glass. The hotel is well maintained with immaculate gardens. Its position is the best on Grande Anse beach. You step into the gardens on to the beach and into the beautiful Caribbean Sea. |I’ve read previous reviews which criticised the food. One criticism was the variety. I don’t know if there’s been a positive effort to address this but it felt like there was a lot of choice from the buffet or set menu. Always chicken, fish, pork, beef and vegetable dishes. A few special evenings - pasta, Indian and BBQ. Lunchtimes offered salads and buffet or toasted sandwiches / pizza.|It’s easy to get into St George’s by a local bus which picks up close to the hotel. Quite an experience but safe and worth doing.|Clientele were largely British, mostly around retirement age. There were 3/4 children there during our 10 day visit. They seemed to be enjoying their time but there are no specific facilities for them

Disappointed is an understatement. As seasoned travelers (hostels to luxury resorts), this was the worst overall accommodation experience we have had. With the exception of 1 employee, we were consistently treated as though our presence was an inconvenience. This response was consistent from check-in to wait staff at the one meal we cringed through. When a smile and ‘hello’ is met with silence, grumble or overt rudeness it is baffling! Please spare yourself and do not stay here. If you must, do not get the ‘all inclusive’ package as the food is truly awful. ZERO flavor catered to a significantly older audience. We purchased a bottle of wine at our first (any only) dinner on site. The bottle had gone bad (straight vinegar) and they would not refund. We ate out every other meal. Besides the food being flavorless and overcooked, the service was terrible. This is not an ‘island time’ thing, this is a horrible service thing. We booked a 2pm pick up snorkel excursion through the hotel. We discussed with the booking representative that we would be returning from our conference around 2pm and we were assured this would not be a problem. Well….the pick up left at 1:45pm. We were basically told ‘oh well’ and offered a more expensive shorter trip the following day….no other options. Beach was nice. Rooms and amenities were outdated but ‘fine’. The first night before we went to our abismal dinner, I shut all the doors and turned the AC unit on. When we returned ~2 hours later, my entire floor was flooded as water was pouring from my AC unit. I honestly thought the room above me had a burst pipe. An hour after calling the front desk, a maintenance employee arrived with a shop vac. Definitely not 4 star hotel level.

Hotel is beautiful and is in perfect location.❤️|Staff is friendly but very very slow ,surprisingly for this Christmas and New year was really empty, otherwise we could wait for hours for anything we ask.Cleaning service is ok, ironing board is in the room.|Food is really bad and same for breakfast every day..😪Breakfast starts at 6:30.👍|7:05 nobody is there.😪|Not much choice for breakfast bacon, sausage , plantain, potato, beens .very rare mushrooms and baked tomatoes.
