Villa Kaya

A year ago we found this lovely gem and we did not hesitate to return. Villa Kaya suits our needs perfectly and provides the ideal setting to enjoy our last few days in Grenada. Mia, the hotel manager welcomed us back with open arms. We arrived on Grenada’s Independence Day holiday and as we waited for our room to be ready Mia offered us some juice, cake and Grenada’s national dish called Oil down, a nice little treat. Shortly after, we settled into the Seashell villa like we had never left! The bed is so comfortable, I wish we could take it home! During this stay we experienced quite a few rain showers and it was lovely observing them from the dry and comfort of the huge covered deck area of the Seashell villa. Once again we enjoyed taking out the paddle boards in the bay and stopping for lunch and rum punch at La Plywood beach bar. The iRocker inflatable paddle boards and paddles are now on their second year and are holding up well although they are beginning to show signs of wear and tear. The breakfast spread was lovingly prepared by Agatha and it was nice to chat and catch up. Housekeeping by Karina and Madonna is exceptional and everything is spotless. Kalim helped us with our bags upon leaving and ensured we were comfortable as we waited for our taxi. Thank you Mia and your team for another wonderful stay, an experience that feels like a home away from home!

Wonderful stay at Villa Kaya. The staff was friendly & would always ask if we needed anything. Beautiful beach close by (walking distance) as well as a few restaurants/bar. Try the roti if you’ve never had one! Oil down was excellent as well. Would also like to mention Kamal Campbell (473) 457-4803 as our daily driver was exceptional!!

Another lovely sojourn at Villa Kaya. If you are looking for peace and quiet this is definitely the place. Mia and her team can’t do enough to ensure you enjoy your stay. Super comfy bed and good breakfast. A short still to BBC and Grande Anse beach. Will certainly return.

Excellent small hotel in a wonderful location. We were in the Driftwood , a very large room with a sofa and very comfortable king size bed. There is almost a whole wall of windows with a sliding door and a fantastic view of BBC beach. Everything is new and up to date, small kitchenette and plenty of electrical outlets. The staff are the greatest asset. Maia greeted us warmly and did everything she could to make sure we had what we needed, restaurant reservations etc. Agatha made a great breakfast every morning and Karina was our excellent and friendly housekeeper. It is a very short walk to BBC beach, with calm water and excellent swimming. Not crowded, except when cruise passengers arrive! Laluna restaurant will pick up guests and return them. Lovely restaurant with excellent food. Mount Cinnamon just down the hill also has very good restaurants. Wish we could have stayed longer and will definitely be back.

We loved our stay at Villa Kaya. The rooms are bright and modern overlooking the bay with incredible views of the sunset and scenery more generally. The grounds were lush and they clearly take pride in both the interior and external design. Incredibly friendly staff, especially Mia, who could not do enough to be helpful and accommodating. Fantastic location next to BBC beach and bars/restaurants. Free transport to the Laluna Boutique hotel and restaurant which is also great for a special meal / cocktails. Very much appreciated the free use of the paddle boards also. I truly believe this gem deserves the 5 star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review. In terms of feedback. The club house which is open 24hrs is a great concept. There are no televisions in the room so this is where you would watch TV. It also runs an honesty bar where you help yourself and declare what you have drunk. We went out most evenings or chilled in our room, but on occasion we wanted to catch the news/watch a film and the room was in use every evening by some long term guests who had adopted it as their private living room each evening. On my last night, out of curiosity I asked if they were in there each evening and they simply said yes. On one occasion they both had their feet on the only other two chairs we could sit on near the TV and did not offer to move them. We could only use the room of an evening on our first eve when we got there early as we were so tired. The couple arrived and looked surprised to see us and from that day they were there in good time each evening until late at night. This is not the villa’s fault, I just add this for future guests, especially longer term guests to be mindful and if you know you’ve hogged the room three eves in a row, as an example, maybe offer it over if other guests come in to use it. But apart from that niggle. It was perfect.

We have recently returned from an 11 night stay at Villa Kaya. We stayed in Beach Glass a beautifully appointed villa style suite with amazing panoramic views of Morne Rouge beach, the bay and the hills beyond. The villa itself, the communal areas, gardens and grounds are all meticulously maintained. We looked forward to breakfast each morning (prepared by Agatha), it was Caribbean style with a combination of fresh fruit, yogurt, cold meat, smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, omelette, homemade bread and pastries. There is an airconditioned breakfast room, or as we preferred to do, you can eat outside under a large, covered dining terrace. All the staff were so helpful and genuinely pleased to have us as their guests. Mia (the manager) ensured that we had everything that we needed and checked in with us every morning to see if we needed assistance with anything at all. She organised taxis, restaurant bookings and car hire. She gave us lots of information about where to eat and places to visit. Villa Kaya is set into a hillside and as such has steps on different levels, which was not a problem for us but may need extra consideration if you have limited mobility. We loved the setting/location of Villa Kaya which was a short walk to Morne Rouge beach and a 15 minute stroll to Grand Anse beach. This meant that nearby restaurants or those on the beach could easily be reached on foot. We will definitely return and have no hesitation in recommending it to the more independent traveller who wants to experience sensibly priced, high quality, small scale, individual accommodation with attentive staff in a beautiful location.
