Beautiful scenery of the ocean, location is stunning. First sight of the hotel is impressionable. Unfortunately when taking a closer look, the only thing this place has going for it is the scenery. I spent several days at the hotel last month which was a little treat to my companion & myself during our 2 weeks in Trinidad. Luckily this was not our first time to the island, so the experiance at the hotel did not ruin our vacation completely.
To put Salybia in nutshell, to rate it 1 star would be generous. Unprofessional, lacks warmth in personality staff- & place alike, we where expecting a spa, not a beauty palour, food nothing special, linen was less than white, no welcome drink, no water in the room. Unexceptable service & standards for the money we paid

I visited the Salibya Beach Resort for a weekend in July, wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of Port of Spain. The weekend left me more stressed than when I got there. The first room I was placed in smelt of an unflushed toilet and the fittings were old and rusted. The second room smelled marginally better (though musty), but had no working air condition and no remote control for the television. When I entered my third room I thought I was there to stay, but then I discovered used towels in the bathroom and a discarded condom packet on my sheet. I was deeply distressed by this and spent the night in a friend's room instead. The food selection for dinner was poor and the supposed spa service was understaffed and overpriced. The staff were indifferent and unhelpful. A weekend getaway it was not and I shall not be returning.

I went to the Salybia Nature Resort & Spa, for a short vacation in March 2004, and the place is absolutely divine! The food is excellent, the service is great and the rooms are to die for! This resort must be placed on every one's 'must visit' list, it compares with the best resorts around the world. And to make it all perfect, the lovely landscaped grounds are just footsteps away from the beach. I will be returning soon.
