Our stay was ok, it wasn't too bad, but it wasn't as good as I expected. The problems I had was that the bathtub drains weren't cleaned properly so there was a smell in the bath room. Then it is close to the airport's runway so we had a fun time listening to all the planes land and take of.....even... more

My friend and I stayed at the Tropkist hotel in Tobago for 5 days in Nov. 2008. The hotel is very unsanitary and very very poorly managed. My friend's bedsheets were stained with what looked like blood, my blankets were dirty as well. The shower in the room kept clogging, the towels were dingy and ragged, the curtains were falling... more

My boyfriend and I had planned to tour the island of Tobago but once we passed through the fishing village of Castara we knew we would stay there for the duration of our holiday. We stayed in one of the lovely spacious studios downstairs, great panoramic views from the veranda and good quality amenities. As a young couple Castara suited... more

Good points: -pool was nice, though chilly -room was lovely -hotel was really nice, and very clean -food was good -tobago is a gorgeous place Bad points: -water was so rough & waves were so big at all times that swimming was near impossible. we had to taxi to other beaches. -staff (except for one wonderful woman at the front... more

We stayed at Manta Lodge for a week; 11 dives with experienced divemasters and captain; all dive sites were within 10 minutes of the hotel. Silton, the captain, Arthur the divemaster and Kester, our guide, are experienced, patient and fun. Japanese Gardens, Bookends, Goat Island Dream, Coral Garden, Cathedral, Angel Reef and John Rock were among our dives. We arranged... more

I shan't go on at length and in many ways this wasn't a bad experience, just overall disappointing. To reiterate other reviews, this is miles from being the best resort in the Caribbean! By way of benchmark, we've stayed at Palm Island, Galley Bay & Blue Waters (Antigua), Coral Reef (Barbados) all of which I would return to and happily... more

My son and I stayed at Candles for a weekend recently. Tho we're Trinidadians we this was my son's 1st visit and the owner Andrew was very helpful in telling us where we can ahng out and giving up maps so we did not get lost and stuff, he is an absolutely pleasant person. The accommodations were excellent and we'd... more

This is a wonderful oasis in a crowded area. Best points - the friendly and helpful staff, the excellent and reasonably priced food and drinks and the great room (we were in the garden area, where I think the rooms are bigger than those near the pool). There is also a nice area with hammocks to relax in and the... more

Reading some of the previous reviews makes me wonder what some people expect from a holiday, be it diving or not. This is Tobago, not London and things work differently in Tobago. Having lived there some years ago, I know, and I wouldn't have it any different. Cockroaches? My goodness, this is the tropics - and cockroaches are tropical creatures.... more

The hotel grounds are beautiful , it has a very stunning and impressive entrance. We rented out a 2 bedroom suite with kitchen , living room , and breakfast area included.....NOT WORTH THE PRICE AT ALL . The hotel rooms are old , the bed sheets were old. The towels provided in the shower were old and dingy and had... more

a 2 week stay at the Tropikist. Found the Hotel Rooms to be basic but clean, and considering what we paid just £35.00 for two of us for bed and breakfast per night we wern't disapointed. As the the Irish Girls who were staying in the rooms downstairs said the hotel does need to be updated. As we only stayed... more

Amazing hotel. Gillian (the owner) and her husband were super friendly and super helpful. I stayed with my sister and brother in the cottage and there was no one in the other apartments so we were allowed free reign of the upstairs and the pool. The cottage has an amazing deck with a grill. The beach is just a short... more

We decided to visit this resort principally due to it marketing itself as the best in the Caribbean. Having returned I re read the reviews and felt I must have been in a different resort. I will give you the facts and you can make your own decision from there. Positives: Weather The transfer from the airport is 2 minutes... more

I have stayed at this hotel during the Trinidad Carnival season for a few days in 2006, 2007 and 2008. It is a beautiful hotel! The grounds are well kept. It is one of the more exepnsive hotels on the island but it is worth it. Used to be a Hilton but it was bought out by VHL. Room: I... more

Worst holiday ever. We all suffered with sickness & diahorrea for most of the time. I think this was due to the poor level of cleanliness. Paid for fully inclusive but couldnt eat or drink. Put us off completely. Complained but didnt want to know. more

We have just returned coco reef . We had a fantastic time, this is our second visit and would recommend it to anyone.The food is ecellent, the rooms are spotless,the lagoon is great for snorkeling and the staff are friendly and helpful especially antonio the duty manager who is a specialist in printer repairs. more

All expectations exceded, had a great week, only a couple of minutes to that beach! Standing in the sea watching the catch being landed by the locals (great people, very friendly) waiting for the sunset and a Ray swam by curling its wings up to pass, magical moment, you gotta go! more

I write this review as somebody who takes 2/3 holidays a year and relys heavily on trip advisor for unbiased reviews. I can only comment on my own experience however I spoke to many guests while at the hotel who will not go back. Some of these were first time visitors and surprisingly some had been many times before and... more
