Coyaba Beach Resort

We booked a "bed and breakfast" package at the hotel and stayed in an upstairs room with a view over the pool. On arriving at the hotel we were greeted with lots of smiles and a rum punch and were quickly sorted out with our room. The hotel is next door to Umbrellas on Grande Anse beach which is highly regarded, so our first evening was spent there. The next day we did what we did every morning - shoes off, shirts off, walk the entire length of Grande Anse beach from one end to the other to earn our breakfast. The choice at breakfast is "OK" - the omelette station is the highlight. There's a shopping centre across the road from the hotel with a supermarket (they do a takeaway lunch - busy!) so you can stock up on drinks and snacks and put in the fridge in the room. The room itself was always kept clean. A couple of times we had to chase fresh beach towels, but that was easy to sort out quickly with reception. We arranged a couple of trips using the hotel - on Friday we went to "Fish Friday" at Gouyave which needed a taxi ride (not prepared to handle the buses for the first time on that trip). The hotel arranged the taxi and the rate, and we treated the driver to his fish dinner as well. We arranged the same driver for an all-day tour the following week, and he looked after us very well with a great round trip back up to Gouyave (this time in the daylight), to go to the Nutmeg museum, up to Sauteurs for lunch, Rivers rum distillery (fire water!!), Grand Etang lake and Annandale Falls. Full day, great fun. The hotel called him a couple of times to make sure everything was OK, which was nice. We walked to the BBC beach a couple of times, much quieter than Grande Anse. We had to get out of the hotel for evening meals so I cannot comment on the food for lunch and dinner in the hotel, but there is plenty of choice outside the hotel within walking distance or a short bus ride/taxi journey away. The one night we did eat there (too drunk after a heavy rainstorm and sheltering in the beachside bar!) the food was really nice and there was a pretty good selection. Considering the size of the hotel I think the breadth of choice was fine. Loved the lasagna! We spent a lot of time on sun loungers by the beachside bar. There was never a problem getting a sunbed, there are so many near the beach or spread around the grounds. We were not "all inclusive" so we had to pay for drinks etc. but that was fine - charge to the room and deal with on checkout. But on the last day we worked out that if we had taken one evening meal at the hotel and had all the drinks on the all-inclusive, it would have been worth paying the extra for the all inclusive package. We do like to get out and try the food in the local area, so there's nothing to stop you doing that, but it still would have worked out cheaper to go all-inclusive and have just 2 evening meals in the hotel. Walking along the beach there are a couple of more expensive hotels but I think the Coyaba has way more ch

We had a really relaxing break at Coyaba. It most certainly is not a perfect resort but is one that represents decent value for money. The beach is incredible, just over 1.1m long and Coyaba is in the middle, it does get busy at weekends as it is a public beach, fortunately there is very little pestering from local vendors! The rooms are adequate, could do with an update but are kept clean, we had a ground floor ocean facing room. We did have a slight issue with our room cleaning on one day but this was resolved. The gardens are very pretty and well kept. The majority of the staff are wonderfully friendly and helpful. One or two were not , sadly, and we found this disappointing, particularly when reporting an issue. The food is pretty average. Breakfast is fine although the fruit offering was very disappointing. Lunch was better, even though we found the burgers to be poor. We found the evening offering to be underwhelming and other guests felt the same. You can pay extra for ‘premium’ which we did, but it really wasn’t value for money. We only ate in the hotel on five nights of the eleven we were there. Within walking distance there are some decent restaurants and we felt very safe wandering out in the evening. The bar staff are wonderful. Both in the main and beach bar. They work very hard and make some wonderful drinks. The house offering of red wine is not great, also it is served in very small glasses. There is a wine list if you want to pay extra, but this is fairly limited. Would we go back? Definitely yes! The location is amazing and Coyaba really is good value when compared to other resorts locally.

After a 20 minute airport transfer, we were checked in, offered a rum punch & taken to our room. Coyaba Beach resort is a small hotel with just 80 rooms but still contains 2 restaurants, a pool with a swim up bar, central bar, beach bar, a shop, a spa, a gym, a tennis court, a shuffleboard, a table tennis table & access to water activities such as canoeing, snorkelling & scuba diving. Some activities are complimentary. There are also plenty of sunbeds, more so than the number of guests. Our air conditioned room contained a large bed, large TV (however most stations suffered pixelation), a safety deposit box, walk in shower, 2 pool towels, tea & coffee facilities & ice bucket (fillable from a machine outside), an empty fridge & an iron & ironing board. Maid service was daily with an additional towel replacement service around 7 pm. The grounds are extremely well manicured by the garden staff & lead down to it's central location on the beautiful 2.5km long Grand Anse beach with soft sand & very calm & warm turquoise waters. Security staff patrol the beach borders keeping vendors & dogs away from the guests if necessary. The beach bar serves a great range of cocktails & drinks but the standout for my husband was the beer, Windward IPA on draft. The beach bar however is open to the public so can get overrun at times. The main Arawakabana restaurant was generally buffet but on occasions a la carte whereas the Carbet pool restaurant was always a la carte. There was a good variety of food & juices at breakfast from 6.30 am to 10 am with an egg station creating great omelettes & pancakes. Food at the buffet lunch (12.30 pm to 3 pm) & latterly dinner always had 3 options, usually chicken, pork & fish, cooked in different ways but if you want more options then try the Carbet a la carte. On Tuesdays around 6.30 pm there is a meet the management cocktail hour with nibblies on offer with BBQ'd food to follow for dinner. Entertainment was generally every other night & finished around 10 pm. Immediately opposite Coyaba's entrance is a KFC restaurant, a supermarket & a hardware store as well as the bus stop & to the left a few hundred yards away are a number of restaurants. Service at Coyaba did seem a bit hit & miss at times, many of the staff were extremely attentive & happy in their work, others however, not so much so, letting down their colleagues & the owners. Daily temperatures in late October was 33 degrees but barely dropped by 4-5 degrees of a night so the restaurants & seating areas could really do with a better form of air conditioning, the ceiling fans were proving ineffective. All in all we had a very quiet & peaceful stay on Grenada which was exactly what we were looking for.

A fabulous hotel on a lovely beach. All the staff are fantastic, would do anything for you and always with a smile. There were always loungers available in the mornings and throughout the day, so no need to reserve, which was a relief. Security and the lads at the fence would carry our loungers onto the beach for us, without us having to ask. Very helpful. As previously mentioned in other reviews, the rooms could do with some updating but nothing serious and everything worked just fine and were kept spotlessly clean. Beds were so comfortable. Food was good and varied, menu was not rotated on a weekly basis so we never had the same meal twice. My husband is a very fussy eater but he enjoyed every meal. If there was anything you didn’t like on the menu, all you had to do was ask and they would cook you something else.. Other resorts along the beach looked so commercialised but Coyaba is a family run hotel so has the personal touch and cosy feel about it. To sum it up, we had a fabulous, relaxing time and will definitely be back.

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

I enjoyed Coyaba the food is delicious. The people are attentive and friendly. We stayed there during my birthday month and they baked me a delicious cake.
