Virgin rating

The hotel

Amid a flowering garden of palm trees, hibiscus, frangipani and bougainvillea, is the Coyaba Beach Resort. Perched on the world famous Grand Anse Beach, the hotel's unique design is themed on Arawak-Indian life from a bygone era. Take a stroll along the glistening white sand to the spice market, or the Esther's Beach Bar that is well-recommended by the locals for a range of refreshing cocktails and a friendly atmosphere. Covering 5.5-acres, the hotel offers beautiful natural surroundings, as well as Grenadian specialities and international cuisine from two restaurants, or you can enjoy a refreshing cocktail at the pool swim-up bar! When you’re feeling more energetic, complimentary tennis, Hobie Cats and kayaking will keep you and the family occupied.

Second visit here after four years. Still just as peaceful and friendly as before. Very relaxing resort and the total lack of pretension helps enormously. Clean and welcoming- food is more local cuisine than international which I like. Will visit again undoubtably.

Lovely Hotel. We enjoyed our 2 week stay at the Coyaba Beach Resort. The beach was glorious and easy to access from the hotel grounds. Our rooms were cleaned daily with fresh towels and little chocolates in the evening which was a lovely touch! The shower pressure was a little on the slower side but there were plenty of complimentary shampoo, conditioner and shower gels available. Great aircon system and ceiling fan. The bed was massive and had a very comfy mattress so I slept like a dream each night. There is a spacious balcony with a table and chairs for any evening drinks you decide to take back to your room. There is a big mosquito door which is very helpful if you want the door open but stop any bugs from coming into your room. The hotel does do a bug smoking once a week to keep the mosquitos at bay and the seems to work as I was not bit in the hotel for the whole 2 weeks (the only time I did was going into the rain forest or walking along the beach in the late evening so take bug spray). The food at the Coyaba Beach Resort was good, not excellent though. There were options of a buffet or poolside menu but I found the food to be a little samey. It was nice food don't get me wrong- very fresh, but it would be nice to have things a little more simple and a little more different than the previous days. The cakes are excellent though and I helped myself to plenty! There are rules at one of the restaurants which is a little annoying- (Women have to dress in longer items to cover up and men to wear shirts with a collar) - the reason for this being a little annoying is if it's very hot it is hard to sit in longer dresses and have your shirts buttoned up, but this wasn't a huge problem as the poolside restaurant is a more relaxed vibe so we didn't have to worry about getting overheated. There are also some local takeaways to try, some of them are on the beach and some a little walk out of the hotel in the local mall. We didn't use the pool, as there was a whole ocean to explore. But, it looked nice and had a swim-up bar which was popular in the evenings. There are 3 bars, one is poolside, one in the main 'chill out' area and one in the beach area. The Waiters are all excellent, very friendly and refill your drinks without the need to call them over. Cocktails are nice and fresh- VERY needed in the hot sun! There are water refills given to you often at breakfast, lunch and dinner which is lovely, as again, you don't need to ask- they are already at the table ready to refill your glass. Entertainment-wise, it's different every day. One night could be singers, one night dancing and one night a drum show. If you don't fancy the hotel's entertainment you can take a short walk down the beach to come across some local bars with music on the beach or check out the local events which are posted in reception and online. The grounds of the hotel are beautiful, with lizards walking around, local birds singing their songs and the odd cat taking advantage of the shade. There are, on occasion some stray dogs that walk along the beach and might pop into the grounds to lie in the shade but they are harmless and just sleep. It's nice to have an evening walk around the gardens after dinner are the paths are all lit up. Sunbeds are scattered around the garden area and on some stages (which are covered with shade) as well as on the beach area (you can take a sunbed on the beach when you like as long as you don't drag it too far from the hotel). There are loads of sunbeds to pick from so don't worry about having to get up early to fight for a bed. you will find some people putting towels down at breakfast time but there are still more than enough for everyone. The grounds have 2 security guards by the beach who are very friendly and help move sunbeds if you need help. If you fancy going out of the hotel and exploring, there are local busses which look like small vans that fun every 15 mins, you will know they are the busses as they will stop and ask you if you need to have a lift anywhere (like St. Georges) and they charge very little to take you. There is also a mall across from the hotel that has a supermarket but it is expensive. There are some shops inside as well and a bank if you need to get cash out. The weather was perfect, nice and hot with light wind to cool you down in the shade. February is their 'dry season' so it only rained once for the 2 weeks which lasted 2 minutes and everything dried pretty much instantly. You can see the mountain area has a lot more rain but it goes by the time it reaches the beach area. All in all, this hotel is very good and I'd come back. Everyone is very friendly, and helpful and makes your stay as comfortable as possible. If you need taxis booked the reception is very helpful. They don't have maps of Grenada though if you are a map person, so you will have to rely on asking the locals and Google Maps. Thanks to everyone at the hotel for making our stay so memorable!

A wonderful week chilling at the relaxed Coyaba Beach Resort - if you need a week of R&R in the warm sunshine with easy access to a gorgeous beach, then this is the place for you. We were greeted with a lovely cocktail and shown to our nice comfortable room which was spacious, nicely furnished and a great view over the gardens and to the sea. We paid a bit extra for an Ocean View room and it was worth the extra pennies for the location and peace & quiet. 2 nice restaurants (chaps can wear smart shorts in both): the main restaurant is buffet twice a week and the smaller poolside restaurant is a la carte every evening. Good service at both. The food range could have been more extensive, but we found nice things to eat every evening. Plenty of refills for our drinks, so All Inclusive was worth the price. We were excited to have papaya at breakfast one morning, but that was the only day (note to management: please more papaya, mango etc). Nice pool (with a swim up bar) which was plenty big enough for me to do some lengths each day and then relax on one of the lilos provided on occasion. That said, most of our time was spent by the beautiful beach, so the pool was never busy. There was some entertainment organised on some evenings and the weekly Manager's cocktail hour on a Tuesday. All very low key, which was fine by us. This hotel had been recommended to us and we're so glad we went - such a wonderful setting by the azure blue sea (well away from the cruise "excursioners"). Highly recommended. Read less

I want to start with the positives. The island and the people are wonderful, very happy and friendly. The beach is magnificent, the soft sand on your feet, the gentle waves gliding up the beach. The sea temperature is fantastic. The trees along the beach to give you shade, the blue sky, and temps around 30c what more could you want on a holiday? The staff were mostly great, you could have a chat with them, and a laugh too. One or two, didn’t want to engage, that’s fine, we were on holiday not them. Shout out to Keron in the bar, really nice chap. And the others, sorry I’m not good with names. Rodrick at the front, great chap. Always ready to talk, ask you how you are. And help when needed. Ok here comes the negative stuff. When we booked this hotel through TUI, I trusted what I read. But realistically it wasn’t totally correct, we could only have local alcohol under the all inclusive package we bought, even Gordon’s gin was premium! Really? We were lead to believe from the advert, that there was 2 restaurants on al a carte, the other buffet (we love a buffet) but no! It’s al a carte except 2 evenings a week, when they pre cooked the food, stick it in steel serving dish, and you help yourself, very little choice. The salad bar ( cough) was a few containers with, tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, onion, and coleslaw. Nothing like we have had on the Caribbean before, and we have been to quite a few. We were lead to believe there was lobster on the menu, yes there is, it will cost you $100 ecd each. Want a steak? Ok $95 ecd each. Don’t get me wrong the lunch menu in the pool restaurant was great, fantastic sandwiches, and burgers, but you can’t have them in the evening. The rooms, very tired, we can live with that if they are clean, they were ish! The floor in bathroom or bedroom had a quick sweep, but never mopped. The shower had very little pressure, and looked grubby, we only had a dribble of water out of the sink tap and shower for 3 days, they said they were sorting it! It did come back on but still little pressure. We did get new beds during our stay, that never stayed in one place if you moved about in them. Entertainment was ok, steel band once a week, and a female singer, once too. The pool was ok, but very little shade, a couple of umbrellas, not a good place from lunchtime onwards, unless you had asbestos skin. We have been to the Caribbean many times, this hotel has been the worst we have ever stayed in. No it wasn’t the cheapest, but should have been! This is our opinion of the place, I know that many people go back year after year, to met up with the same friends they have befriended here. Read less

This was my second visit to Grenada, as I was dissatisfied with the service in the hotel that I stayed in, last time, so I decided to try the Coyaba. What a difference! The staff here have obviously been very well trained, without exception, they were all very efficient, helpful and friendly, in the dining room, they were very attentive. The menu changed every day and though there was not a huge choice, the food was good. We enjoyed a variety of cocktails, I would recommend trying the resort's own recipe cocktails. On arrival at the resort we decided to change from bed and breakfast to all-inclusive, I feel that this was a good choice. there were three of us and one thing that puzzled me was that the increase per day was USD70 per person for the two in the double room but USD120 for the person in the single occupancy room, I was aware of this prior to arrival. Does the resort consider this person would consume 171% more than those in the double room? Although the resort shows prices in USD, it actually charges in ECD, I would much prefer for the prices to be shown in ECD, with the rough equivalent to be shown in other currencies. The room was cleaned and the towels replaced every day. The air conditioning system was efficient and kept the room cool. The resort is situated on the beach and we never had any difficulty in finding sunbeds, though at times it was a bit harder to find shade. We spent a lot of time swimming in the warm sea and looking for and photgraphing fish and turtles. I was concerned about boats, especially a speed boad towing and inflatable seating device for tourists, passing very close to where we were swimming. Something need to be done about this, preferably a line of buoys at least 100 metres off shore, which the boats have to keep outside of. I fear a serious accident might occur. If I visit Genada again, I will definitely stay at the Coyaba. Read less
