We stayed at the cayena beach club through are timeshare with Interval International. We were hesitant at first because the photos on the internet are not very appealing, but we went anyway..We travelled with a couple of friends and once we arrived at the hotel we were met by friendly employees and the hotel turned out to be amazing! The photos do not show how nice the rooms are in reality. We had room 109 which had a KIng size bed with a view of the ocean and your nice big backyard for private tanning..The room was HUGE! and was very clean and the staff came in every day and filled your fridge with drinks, which is needed with the Bar u have in your room as well.

The overall property of the cayena beach club is very nice and is private, which is also nice to have while on vacation..The peddlers are not allowed to solicite on the private beach. I actually saw one being arrested cause he tried to sell some items on our beach. There is a nice outside restaurant to eat breakfast in the morning overlooking the ocean, in turn opens as an a la carte lunch menu, which is very good.. You can goto to the Lti property and use their pools and there is a nice lunch barbecue that serves Hamburgs and hot dogs and chicken..You can walk to the adjoining LTI property in minutes which is nice and that is where all the entertainment is and the shopping..

We had a very nice time, would go back! Nice to know that you are safe on vacation in third world country. I recommend to bring some 1 dollar bills to use for tipping! There is shoping on the beach just off the LTI property, but they are hard to bargain with cause everything is $25 to start and go from there-U will see! I would not recommend any shopping especially alcohol you can get it cheaper at the duty Free shop at the airport.

We did the speedboat and snorkeling tour..We had a nice time..But i would recommend to book with the reception desk to do any tours-Worth it not to try and save a few bucks..Overall you will save yourself time and hassle if u do..Because when u purchace tours outside of the resort the are not affilited and they are not organized and will be taken for a ride..

Very nice place enjoy Paradise!

My friend and I were walking down the beach from the other hotel when we were staying at when a Cayena employee, as he identified himself, Juan Carlos came up to us with an offer. He asked if we were interested in seeing this NEW hotel that was opened last year and take a tour; if we liked it we would get a 50% off the price for booking direct. I was very hesitant at first and asked if it was a timeshare presentation, he said no. Then my friend asked why were they doing that promotion, he said because occupancy was low and that they are trying to promote the resort; 5 stars he said and the tour would take about 45mins.

Ok, so we decided it was just 5 mins away and another couple staying at the Bahia were also coming along. Before we left I told them we needed to get back to our hotel by 11:00 and the other couple also said they had a snorkeling tour at 11:45 that needed to return for as well.

Juan Carlos then delivered us to the hotel. We asked if he was staying with us and if a boat would be available to take us back. He said yes there are 3 boats. Ok, so we went to reception, filled out a form then a skeevy guy took us upstairs to the bar/restaurant and started the sales banter. I stopped him and asked when we would be taking a tour of the grounds since we wanted to see the hotel and asked again if it was a timeshare presentation. He said no and went on to ask questions about how many weeks we vacation etc. At this point I am getting annoyed as I see where it is leading and then we emphasize that time was of an essence and he was wasting it with those questions; we wanted the tour of the property we were promised. He also pulled out an interval book and that is when I knew it was a time share presentation and told him we were not interested.

When he realised that we wanted out he got very upset and asked us to write down on a paper that we had to leave. That took all of 35mins!! Time to leave and there is no boat, we were told it is on it's way. An hour later no boat to take us back and the other couple had finished their sales pitch and joined us to wait. I was very upset at this time as the employees pretended to be calling the captain of the boat. So I made my way back to reception to talk with the guy who took our info, he said he calls the boat and we should wait. Well I had to raise my voice to get anything done, which I was even madder for. They wanted to get me away from reception since other guests started chiming in about their complaints !! In order to get me to move they said the boat was coming soon.. so I started to make a scene on the beach when there was no boat, as they kept lying to us for an hour and a half! The other couple missed their tour as well. Eventually fed up of me one of the employees, walked up the beach and asked another company with a boat to take us back.

We never got our tour of the hotel! I did manage to get some exterior photos and it looks ok, 3 star at best. I was just mad I got duped, wasted a morning with con sales men and staff that lied!!! I would never want to stay at this hotel with bad business practices such as what happened to me and the three other people I was with!

We paid $200 to change our flight & leave Cayena Beach Club 3 days early. Although the grounds are beautiful, nothing could make up for the fair service. We were eaten alive by bed bugs/mites. We went on an ATV tour with Adventure Extreme...recomended by the Staff at Cayena Beach Club. During the ATV tour, we were harrassed by the local peddlars, our friends had their sun glasses stolen & I was bitten by a dog. You couldn't pay me enough to come back. The staff is not helpful & push you to buy a timeshare the entire time you are there. Everyone always has their hand out but no one ever has any change for a $20, $10 or $5...heaven forbid you bring larger bills, & forget about Travellers Cheques.

We just returned from our trip on May 3, 2008 from the Cayenna Beach Club. We went to the resort to have a romantic elopement style wedding. The main LTI property staff, Sylvie coordinated our wedding and it was wonderful. She did a fantastic job. They day we arrived we met with her that afternoon and she had all the finer details lined out and we only had to make minor choices. These choices were made easy as she had sample photos to review. She also worked on our schedule. Within minutes the event was finalized and we were off to have some fun. She made me feel comfortable that everything would go off without a problem. The spa treatment that came with our wedding package was wonderful. All the staff at the Metamorphis spa were friendly courteous and it was such a relaxing atmosphere. The massage therapists were very attentive and professional. The day of the wedding one of the ladies spent a great deal of time on my pedicure, manicure and hair. When I left the spa I felt totally ready for the big moment. There was no stress with the wedding preparations or ceremony. The ceremony was on the beach and was the setting that I had invisioned in my mind for so long. The band that came played native music and they were so fun, happy and added so much to the ceremony. The ceremony was the intimate but yet formal affair that I had wanted.

Now for the review of the resort. Cayena was beautiful, we had a great room which the view from the patio was like a postcard. We could hear the ocean at night. Cayena was private and small and completely relaxing. The restaurant in Cayenna was wonderful with a staff that could produce amazing food. Everyone on staff at the bar and restaurant were concerned about each guest and you truly felt like a guest. Antonia, Newton, Lenora and Pascel quickly learned what you liked and provided those options daily. They were an amazing team. The lunch options were always fresh presented so well and the taste heavenly. We could not decide which of the two meals were our favorite as breakfast had its on special qualities also.

Being able to access LTI property was nice so that we could go to the bars or restaurants on that side. The sea food restaurant was our favorite. The selections were fresh and grilled to perfection. The Trattoria served pizza that was fresh made to order and just the right size for one person.

The internation buffet had so many choices and everthing that we had was great and it allowed much experimentation with different foods that we can not get a home. All the staff were more than happy to answer any questions that you had on food names, preparations or just about the resort. I felt as if everyone liked working there and they were sharing their home with us.

We also did the zip line excursion and the office staff were very helpful in booking that trip and it was fun. However, it was very strenuous and not for those afraid of heights. The tour guide was very informative on the trip and showed us markets, cocoa plantations, fruits and more.

Neither of us were sick from anything that we ate or drank during this trip. Overall I would say this trip was perfect for us and we cannot wait to go back. This is definitely a place that we would return to. We also want to thank everyone for making our wedding and honeymoon such a special time.

We did experience one negative and that was the cost of the photographs. They were very expensive and did not follow the prices posted on the website. However, we were there one full week and that is the only negative that we had.
