Stayed in February. Will keep the review brief. Staff's excellent. The beach and view are excellent. Rooms could use some TLC so they feel a bit more opulent. Attention to details is kind of lagging. Lighting's also really bright and not as soft as one would hope. Lunches were excellent, breakfasts were very good. Dinners were hit and miss. Bar staff: please, for the love of god, stop putting plastic straws in every dang drink. We're adults. We have lips that can drink drinks. The amount of garbage we produced with our drinks on a daily basis made us feel really awful. We'd ask for "NFS" ("no f'ing straws") and 75% of the time, straws. Really hope y'all reflect and stop being as wasteful. Otherwise...great stay, great staff, really relaxing, would recommend BUT they should put a little more attention to details and refresh the rooms a bit.

My wife and I found Keyonna to be an excellent place for a private, restful vacation. The beach is gorgeous and good for light swimming. Our cottage was attractive and very comfortable. The plunge pool was fun when we just needed to get wet and cool off. Keyonna’s grounds are beautiful--so many royal palms!--and the staff was uniformly competent and attentive. And the food at the restaurant was outstanding. There were many different choices at every meal, and nearly everything was really delicious. We particularly enjoyed eating the Caribbean specialties and watching the local birds on the bushes and trees in and around the open-air restaurant.

All of the staff and facilities were truly amazing! The food and atmosphere made our week truly relaxing. The plunge pool and beach were both great amenities that made our honeymoon week unforgettable. We would stay here again with pleasure, 10 out of 10. All of the staff went out of their way to consistently check on us and make sure we had everything we needed at all time.

I cannot believe I never reviewed Keyonna! This was the most amazing trip of our lives (although we are not by any stretch world travelers.) We stayed in a Beachfront Sanctuary Cottage (#26) and had just the most incredible time. I loved both the pool and the Caribbean Sea. The Bali beds are amazing and it just feels so private - like you have your own tiny piece of the island all to yourself. The staff are incredible, very kind and accommodating. We did the beach dinner and it was literally the second best day of our lives (first was our wedding). Caheem was amazing! The entire trip was like something out of time. It's hard to express how perfect it was but from the outdoor showers, to our own little pool and Bali bed to the incredibly well-prepared meals, the trip was just phenomenal. Since we left a year ago, I've tried to find another island we could explore that would offer similar accommodations and nothing else comes close. So, we decided to go back! We need to finish a few renovations at home but I'm already planning for a trip in two years. Keyonna, you stole our hearts and gave us the best 10th anniversary that anyone could ever ask for! And a final note: if you get up at around 1 a.m., you can see the Southern Cross. A shoutout to David Crosby here: we know why we came that way.

return visit, always a great experience . Booked 10 nights in plunge pool cottage (33) literally decking was in sun the whole day, lovely to dip into own pool to cool off. You also have own Bali bed and loungers on the pristine beach as an alternative. All food/drink is all inclusive but not buffet, it is cooked to order. Plenty of choices for all meals, folks who complain regarding portion size need to eat less , portions are fine. I think 42 rooms now at resort but always felt very tranquil, no queuing for tables for dining. The beach is superb and clean. The resort and rooms are rustic with plenty of fauna and nature going on. As we were returners , we had special welcome from staff who were there previously , some staff turnover had taken place , but that happens everywhere . The resort is "fogged" for mossies around 4 days a week at 17:00pm The entertainment was of good quality , varying styles of musicians always good. There's yoga , I borrowed a mat to keep in my room for sessions , aqua aerobics , darts and a small book area for past times. Beautiful location for sunsets from the resort . The staff here are a huge plus , very engaging and available . would definitely recommend.

Just back from an amazing two weeks at Keyonna. Our stay started with a private transfer which we booked through the hotel. Danielle was right on time and very friendly. From the moment we arrived at Keyonna, we were greeted by Aurelius who helped with our bags, gave our room tour and assisted with anything we needed throughout our stay. Our room was ready after a very short wait and I could not have been happier with our Beachfront Sanctuary cottage with plunge pool in a great location, with plenty of privacy. I did hear the infamous rooster crowing early in the morning but for me, it became background noise quickly and was kind of part of the ambience! For those who mind it, I’ve heard earplugs can be supplied and, in my opinion, it’s more than worth it for the added privacy where our cottage was. Yes, there are mosquitoes and sand flies as others have mentioned but this was never any problem in the room and outside. I rarely had an issue as long as I used the provided OFF spray. This we really did not find to be much different than at any other resort or hotel with lush grounds. They do fog 2-3 times per week around 5pm and it definitely helps. A couple bug bites were well worth it to be there. We were on the beach daily with the exception of two day tours we did, one on the sailboat Jabberwocky which was a beautiful day on the water with a great crew. The other, a land tour with Ted, from Tours By Locals which was the most informative, interesting and fun tour I’ve ever had and it gave us a much better understanding of of life on the island,. Most days, I was very happy to wake around 5, swim my laps in the main pool which is beautifully maintained and always has dry towels. After that, a leisurely breakfast then a day of swimming in the ocean & plunge pool, walks on the gorgeous beach, lounging and reading. Lunch in the restaurant is great, with a very nice menu for both vegetarians and carnivores or beachside at our Bali bed with a grill menu. The dinner menu changes nightly and there are always daily specials at breakfast, lunch and dinner. The beach dinner - we’ve done one at many different resorts - was by far the nicest. From the decorating of the beach and table to the excellent food options, vegetarian too, we thoroughly enjoyed having dinner under the stars. Thank you Ceon, for a wonderful evening. The beach is public as are ALL beaches on Antigua. We never encountered any problems with that. The beach is never crowded. Occasionally a family might enjoy a spot on the 1 mile Long Beach but it was never an issue. Being fair skinned, I always seek shade and having our own Bali bed, loungers in the shade and a shaded deck made for a sunburn free two weeks. The live music nightly was so much fun and varied from a pianist and a few excellent bands playing great dance music from reggae to pop. The singers all had beautiful voices. The staff at Keyonna are the nicest, most genuine people we’ve probably ever met at a resort. Over the course of our time there, we always felt at home and like we were among family. Tipping is not required or even expected but we were happy to always leave something for the excellent service always provided. Just to mention a few… #SendyAnn, Lydia and Aurelius - always available at reception for check in, planning activities, hiring taxis or a dance or two, SendyAnn- we had so much fun!! Aurelius, thank you for always checking in with us and accommodating my many requests! The room was perfect & Scott loved the coffee! ;-) #Ami, Deshaun & Devaughn our beach waitstaff- always quick with something to eat or a drink whether on your Bali bed, loungers or even deck. These guys work so hard and are always smiling and so helpful throughout the stay. Thanks again! #Jocelyn, Kimberly & Lakesha -I had three amazing massages, one of which was a couples massage. The other two Swedish and left each feeling great, my back pain relieved. #Chef Hensley Price, Lyndon, Pastry Chef Kito, Maria, GerryLee, Nicole, Kimberley, Ceon, Darina & Sheldon- all wonderful restaurant staff from the chefs to managers and floor staff, so very welcoming and accommodating . I am a vegetarian and often struggle to find a variety of nice meals, even in restaurants at home. The chefs were amazing, constantly changing meals up so I never really even repeated a meal during the two weeks. Pastry chef Kito - thank you for the rock cakes on my last day!! :-) I found a nice recipe and made some my second day home. While they were good, your’s were better and so very light and crispy, like all your pastries which were a pleasure to wake up to every morning. Sheldon - thanks from Scott for the taste of pepper pot! #The yoga instructor - I never did get her name but we did three yoga classes while there, they’re offered every Monday and Thursday and my husband and I both really enjoyed them. The instructor has a great way of describing poses and suggesting adjustments to allow all different ability levels, including me as still a beginner.

The beach in front of our private room is open to the public. The beach was loud and full of kids, families and people wandering off the street. So if you are looking for tranquility look elsewhere. On a positive note, the staff were very friendly!

My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of spending 5 fantastic days at Keyonna. The reviewers who used the word "rustic" were spot on! The resort had a great relaxed vibe thanks to the great staff who provided top notch service. We especially loved having our own bali bed and lounges. Thanks to Tevin who was always quick with a drink. Our room was spacious and clean (#59) and just feet away from the beach. The food was above average for an all inclusive. Would highly recommend this resort for couples who are looking to just relax and take in the beauty of Antigua.

We had such an amazing time on our honeymoon here! It couldn't have been better, for real. The food was amazing, the room, the service, the beach... I mean... everything was so great. What a dream experience, we'll never forget it. Shout out to Tevin, our server, he's legit! They genuinely care about giving a top notch experience. And the beach grill? Wow.. I'm a Texas grill freak with high standards and they really know what they're doing. Also, whoever the pastry chef was, props... I'm fat now after a week there, it was too good!

This resort is breathtaking. From the stunning views to the impeccable service, we felt like we were in paradise the moment we stepped onto the property. We went here for our honeymoon, looking for a location that was private, rustic, and romantic. Keyonna Beach Resort delivered far beyond what we even imagined! Everything about the location itself is made to feel romantic and it works so well - stunning beach views of crystal blue water, personalized service, and an inviting atmosphere that includes couples massages, yoga, and more to help you unwind. We stayed in a Beachfront Sanctuary room which I cannot recommend enough if you’re looking for seclusion and uninterrupted relaxation. But what TRULY makes this resort unique is not the all inclusive aspects or beachfront location, which can be found in many places. What sets Keyonna apart is the service. We were BLOWN AWAY by the staff and their dedication to hospitality. Restaurant Supervisor Odeal learned our breakfast orders after 1 day, and for the rest of the trip, would bring us fresh juice, smoothies, coffee and fruit every morning before taking our order! Each member of the staff, from Daniel who checked us in to Amir who often brought us our drinks and food from the grill, brought such positivity to every moment! Finally, I can’t end this review without mentioning Chef Hensley Pryce. Chef Hensley’s rotating menus provided us with the freshest and most authentic Caribbean cuisine we could have hoped for. We raved about EVERY SINGLE MEAL and are still talking about it a week after we left. I could go on! But trust me, if you’re looking for the perfect honeymoon getaway, this is it!
