Hotels Near Topaz Beach in Tobago

We have just had the most wonderful holiday at Grafton Beach Resort the staff are amazing they can't do enough for you. It was quiet when we were there and all food was cooked fresh if you didn't fancy anything they would do you something else. My favourites were the chilli shrimps and seafood pasta but all the meals were excellent. The rooms were good sized the beds are comfortable. The most beautiful island with lovely people everyone speaks and it is very safe. Thank you so much Grafton Beach for a fantastic holiday

Where do I begin to praise the Bacolet Beach Club? It was my first visit there, but it most certainly won't be my last! A friend had visited earlier this year, and she was so excited about what it had to offer, she asked if I wanted to go back there with her. I'm now hooked too, and can't wait for my next stay. From the moment we were collected from the airport by Thessa Marie Samuya, (who is in charge of much of the every day running of the hotel) to the time we left, nothing was too much trouble. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the rooms, and the friendliness of the staff. Everyone had a smile and a genuine desire to make certain we enjoyed ourselves. That is, whether we were on the premises, or going out to any of the locations. I was keen to buy some Toboggan chocolate, and Ricky, one of the very helpful staff members, was delighted to drive us to a place where the chocolate was made on the premises. I was so happy, and he just beamed because he knew it meant a lot to me to be able to go there. The restaurant was small and intimate, which I liked. I don't like feeling like I'm queuing up for a school dinner in a canteen, so this was lovely! Although the menu didn't change in the two weeks we were there, there was plenty to choose from, so it was fun deciding how much of the menu to explore. The meals were nicely presented, and we were served at our table for lunch and dinner. Breakfast was self-service. There were few things that had supplement add-ons, and even the lobster was next to nothing when added to our bill. Fully Inclusive was definitely a good choice, because all the delicious cocktails were included. There were a lot of steps to take you down to the private beach, but there was a handrail, and if I can manage (I'm in my 70s) then anyone can! The beach was clean, and there was a beach bar at the foot of the steps, so when once down there, one could stay all day if desired. All the girls in the restaurant were warm and friendly. I cant remember all their names, but there was Donna, Bella, Megan and I think Shenesca, but I may have got that spelling wrong! Anyway, they all worked hard to create a great atmosphere and to serve good food. If only I could think of everyone else's names! There were two swimming pools for anyone not keen on the sea, and those were kept spotlessly clean and hygienic too. My room had the most amazing views across the bay, and at the end of each afternoon, before getting ready for dinner, I enjoyed sitting on my balcony and reading my book. The loungers were very nice quality, and easy to sink into. The cleaners made certain the room was left beautifully each day, and if we bumped into each other, there was always a beaming smile and an exchange of a few warm words. Each week there was a welcome BBQ on the beach, and music played to add to the atmosphere. There was also entertainment in the sister hotel across the road. As for Gloria and Reinhold, the owners of the Bacolet Beach Club, well, the

Let's state that a holiday is what YOU make it. To many people (English) expect every single hotel or venue to be the same, well there not live with it. Nowadays you can go on holiday without actually going because of things like this TripAdvisor. Is it a 3 star hotel, it was and it's trying to be but it's about 2.5. The hotel is 1970's design and it shows but not in a bad way. Location is next to the beach perfect. The grounds very well kept. The rooms are very good and well maintained. It even had a 3 pin UK plug that we used via a modern 3 way plus 4 usb adapter, perfect. The pool was the best I've ever been in. The pool staff work daily to keep it maintained. Food... D bay hut/restaurant was absolutely perfect, the staff and chef (Daren and Patrice) catered for my every need as a very fussy eater. The main restaurant was a little different, the food was good but not always to my liking. The staff were sometimes a little to layed back and slightly under trained. Do not use your rep, find Barry on the beach front in the morning for a much better deal, yes you can negotiate prices for an outstanding service and knowledgeable tour (whatever you choose to do). So overall we enjoyed it as we took it as it came and as it was. I would go back to this hotel but only after finding a better deal as we found out people had paid less than we did.
