I have rated this 5* although there are a couple of things to be made aware of.
Before this trip I didn’t want to come back to the Caribbean due to the lack of service in several places I have been.
This place has changed my mind, research and more research is what’s needed.
The rooms are dated but perfectly ok and large.
The gym (I am a frequent flyer), is very dated with half of the machines not working correctly and the pulley cables of the machine weights have stretched making them poor to use.
Then the rest, the staff were fabulous, attentive and there are plenty of them, making sure you feel well looked after.
The food was fabulous, I didn’t not have one meal that was anything but great. Some reviews say there isn’t much on offer, I found it to be plentifully on choice. The food, plates and serving spoons all kept covered which gives you peace of mind.
The grounds are beautiful, it is dry season so the grass isn’t very green but the gardens are well looked after.
The beach is stunning and right in front of the hotel.
The on site dive centre (eco dive) is great, I reviewed them separately.
Thanks to all the staff for making our holiday so enjoyable, I understand why so many people I spoke to while here come back year after year.

I have traveled to over 40 countries in my lifetime and stayed in various hotels in those countries but ABSOLUTELY NONE compares to Coyaba Beach Resort in Grenada in terms of Hospitality, Good Food and most of all WONDERFUL STAFF! From the warm yet fun greeting by Ms. Lystra and her crew at the front desk, to the staff in the restaurants, to Roderick and the Grounds staff, the friendliness and hospitality at the Resort was unsurpassed. If you desire true friendly real genuine Caribbean Hospitality i can think of no better place than Coyaba Beach Resort, Grand Anse, St. Georges, Grenada.

This is a small family owned and run hotel and has a family feel. We were pleased with our choice because we’d wanted to get a feeling for Grenada and not just stay in a standard hotel that could be anywhere. The hotel grounds felt very spacious and gave the impression not many people were staying there, although at meal times you realised there were more people than you thought.

Staff - there were so many staff all of which were friendly, and even more so when you engaged them in conversation

Food - more choice than expected and large portions. Lunch a la carte at the pool side restaurant served pizzas, burgers, sandwiches and chips, fish and chips. Evening meal was a la carte on 5 nights out of 7, there were two menus, one changed daily and one stayed the same. We had plenty of choice without having to choose any ‘premium options’ (we were on standard all inclusive)

Drinks - excellent choice, over 20 alcoholic cocktails and 10 non alcoholic cocktails to choose from on standard all inclusive. House wine was very drinkable. Children asked for milkshakes which weren’t even on the menu and these were made for them. Staff were very good at asking if you would like more drinks. It was a very civilised resort, no one seemed to drink too much despite the drinks being free flowing if you wanted them.

Beach - we loved being able to sit on the beach behind the fence in the resort. There was constant security at the beach entrance so if we’d needed someone to carry our sun loungers onto the main beach there would have been someone willing to help. The beach was not too busy with locals and felt safe.

Gardens - exceeded our expectations, very well kept and attracted a variety of birds.
Gardeners were friendly.

On-site dive centre (Eco Dive) - the sea was a bit rougher than we’d expected so we only took a kayak out once, but we did do a scuba diving trip which was excellent

Seaweed - there was seaweed for 48 hours during our trip, this was cleared up after it had finished washing up on the beach. A previous reviewer complained about this but they neglected to mention it was Easter weekend, Grenada was hosting the Carifta games that weekend and seaweed is a rare occurrence on Grand Anse so it is likely they are not as accustomed to clearing it up as other resorts around the world.

Rooms - as other people have said the rooms are dated but we purposely did not choose a modern chain hotel because we wanted a more traditional Caribbean experience, so this was fine for us. Aircon was excellent.

Trips - we arrived on Good Friday and anticipated that given it was a bank holiday weekend we may need to make arrangements for trips etc in advance of our arrival at the hotel, this worked well and we arranged Scuba Diving with the on-site EcoDive centre for Easter Sunday and an island tour for the Tuesday (a previous reviewer blamed the hotel for their bookings desk not being fully open over the bank holiday weekend, they should have realised it was Easter and planned ahead!)

All in all a perfect hotel choice for us and we’d recommend it (unless you are just going for a smart hotel room)
