The Coyaba Beach Resort is not only one of the best resorts in Montego Bay, but also in the whole of Jamaica. In fact in my opinion one of the best small luxury resorts in the Caribbean.
We were looking for a cheap Montego Bay package, and a vacation for a family of three to Montego Bay, and The Coyaba Beach Resort more than filled the bill.
Our daughter is only eight and so we needed a decent size room which we certainly got at Coyaba. The room was very spacious with two large beds, overlooking the beach. We were on the third floor, with good views, but heard that the first floor had a lot of traffic noise from the road. It rained on one of the days we were there, and the TV wasn't great, but we were able to get a video for our daughter.
We managed to find what was called a cheap Montego Bay Vacation package, pay for four nights and get the fifth one free, and that made it a good deal especially as it was all inclusive.
Anyway the room was good, but the fridge wasn't stocked unless we asked room service. The same was true for things like shampoo and shower gel, although to be fair, when we called, they arrived quickly.
The pool area was nice, and we didn't struggle at all for sun beds even although the resort was pretty full. There was however a mysterious shortage of towels and something called beach towel cards which were quite frustrating. Waiter service around the pool was almost non existent, unless the pool area was quiet.
The beach looks great from the photos, but it is definitely a man made beach.
There really wasn't anything for my daughter to do, but she tends to want to be with us, so that wasn't a problem, although the lack of choice of food at lunch time for her could have been a problem, lucky she likes burgers!!
The breakfast eggs were good and the chicken and pork dishes at dinner.
Overall we enjoyed our stay at the Coyaba Beach Resort. I can't really say it is the best Montego Bay Resort, but it is small, relatively intimate, and privately owned. It can justify being one of the top small luxury resorts in the Caribbean, but I'm not sure I would have been so happy had we paid the full price, but it was OK for a vacation for a family of three to Montego Bay
