    A Gem in Buccoo with Spectacular View of the Beach

    Superb location. It is convenient for those going for boat tours. A short boardwalk will lead you to the Buccoo Beach to swim and for sunset. We appreciate that we were upgraded to the family room at no extra cost with our own kitchen and living room. There is a big balcony where you can eat and enjoy the spectacular view of the beach. The room had adequate cabinet and hanger for clothes, a study table, and strong aircon and Wi-Fi. We didn’t use much of the kitchen except for breakfast. Electric kettle, microwave, toaster, 4 burner stove and a big fridge was provided. A private parking space for our rental car was available. A pastry shop, a small convenient store, coffee shop, and bar restaurants were nearby to walk. Luke was very helpful, pleasant, and accomodating. He helped us with our heavy luggage. We were referred to Miss Penny for car rental and shuttle services, and she was very helpful and reliable. I would highly recommend this place to stay in Tobago.

    While we loved the location, I would not consider it family friendly for those with younger children. It was also fairly noisy at night, so light sleepers beware.

    We loved the location, which was right on the bay. Our room was very clean and well furnished. The balcony was a great place to spend the day as it was almost always shady. We were pleasantly surprised at the caliber of the restaurants close to the guest house. The bakery up the road was great for breakfasts every morning.

    Loved the location, 2 minute walk to the beach and buccoo turned out to be our favourite beach on the island. Room was clean and cosy, airco worked perfectly, shower was hot, house was nice and the staff was just amazing! Super sweet and helpful, even drove us all the way to the ferry for free ❤️

    The beds are decent, but aren't the MOST comfortable. Saying that, they didn't negatively impact our quality of sleep. Be mindful of keeping food items in your room, because of ants. I mainly kept everything in the communal kitchen, but somehow, ants still found us. I don't like chemical bug sprays, so we just accepted them-obviously it wasn't an enormous amount, as I would have drawn the line there😊 We also only ate in the communal area, which is something I likely would have done anyway, but definitely enforced to ensure there was no evidence of food in the room. Growing up on an island, I'm used to seeing this sort of thing-especially when the weather is warmer. If you're like me and don't like chemical sprays, just pack some diatomaceous earth or essential oils like peppermint, tea tree, citronella or lavender.

    Prime location; just a few minutes walk from Buccoo Beach. The view of the beach from the property is lovely, even from the lower patio (the view upstairs is even better). Whilst the units are spacious and comfortable, when we were on the property, we spent a great deal of time in the communal kitchen and living space, as I prefer to cook most of our meals and the facilities to do so we're great and also because the areas felt SO homey. We also spent quite a bit of time outdoors on our patio and the communal patio upstairs, which has a mini library (my children made food use of it). You don't need to go outdoors to hear the waves crashing on the shore, but combining the audio WITH the visual can't be beat! Great spot if you plan on attending 'Sunday School;' no, it isn't Church for children, but more like a neighborhood party, with various food vendors, music, live steel pan performances + good vibes. Sunday evenings can get quite loud because of Sunday School and the music can play until late, BUT, it didn't keep ANY of my children awake once we were ready to settle in for the night. The units, communal areas + gardens are well tended to. The staff are AMAZING! I'd say Ms. Penny is the manager of the property; overseeing bookings, cleaning the rooms, laundry services, arranging meals if needed, transportation arrangements + ensuring guest needs in general are taken care of. A very hard worker + warm soul. Chris, I'd say, is the handyman of the property, ensuring things are in working order, tending to the gardens, preparing DELICIOUS meals upon request, child whisperer (all 3 of my children LOVE Chris and affectionately refer to him as 'Mr. Chris) + I'm sure he does even more than this, but this is just what I witnessed whilst on the property. He is a very kind + giving person and ensured my children also had a lovely experience.
