Caribbean Sea View Cottage

10/10 Excellent
"Questo cottage è un gioiello circondato da un giardino lussureggiante, dove puoi godere della massima privacy e sicurezza essendo all'interno di un grande spazio recintato con un cancello automatico per accedervi con l'auto. L'interno del cottage corrisponde alle foto, ampi spazi, letto comodo e cucina completamente attrezzata. La vista dal balcone è mozzafiato, il posto ideale per fare colazione o sorseggiare un bicchiere di vino al tramonto. A proposito visto che festeggiavamo il nostro 20 anniversario di matrimonio, ci hanno fatto trovare una bottiglia di vino italiano in frigo, molto apprezzato.Non abbiamo incontrato i proprietari poichè erano all'estero, ci ha accolto Stella che ci ha dato tutte le prime informazioni.Noleggiare la loro auto è stata una grande comodità, ci hanno anche inviato un taxi per prelevarci all'aeroporto a loro spese.Oana è stata super reattiva a tutte le nostre domande e richieste e ci ha dato un sacco di suggerimenti (molto validi) su cosa fare, ristoranti, ecc. Non perdete una visita alla piantagione di Mr. Grant, un'esperienza davvero interessante. Abbiamo avuto un problema con la lavatrice, Oana ha inviato un tecnico il giorno stesso che ha risolto il problema, ottimo servizio! Se posso dare un suggerimento, dotare il cottage di un piccolo forno micro onde e un hoover. Oana e Flo, state facendo un grande lavoro, avanti così ed in bocca al lupo per la vostra attività! Con affetto e gratitudine. Matteo & Lisa"

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at Keyonna Beach was magical from start to finish. Daniel and Rocky welcomed us warmly — Rocky handled every resort need seamlessly, and Daniel even followed up to help with room options. The grounds are meticulously kept, a true slice of Antigua paradise. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were excellent every day, along with fantastic drinks and fresh juices (soursop and mango were favorites!). Jean made a delicious fish sandwich at the grill, Raul mixed a fantastic Scooby Snack, and Deon whipped up a wonderful Deep Blue Sea. Meralyne and Kimberly were fantastic servers at dinner. Our room, kept spotless by Tashekia, was a comfortable retreat after each day, and nightly music added the perfect ambiance. Every staff member we encountered was warm and attentive — we've only named a few who stood out, but the entire team made this trip special. Keyonna Beach isn't just a resort, it's a team of genuinely caring people who make you feel like family. We can't wait to return!"

"Alyson and Tony were amazing hosts. They made sure we were well taken care of in every way. From helpful advice in their very well organized welcome booklet, to all the friendly communication whenever we needed it. Would highly recommend staying with them at ANY of their locations as they are perfectly located near all the best beaches and great food. Thank you again for a marvelous stay."

"Nice house, clean, comfortable and a great location. Darkwood Beach is wonderful and an easy walk. Of note, we had some heavy construction equipment working next door during our stay, and the only coffee maker we could find was a small french press. This villa would also benefit from some more comfortable/lounge type seating outside. However, I'd still be happy to stay here again."
