This was our family's first trip to Tobago and I reckon we hit the jackpot as far as accommodation was concerned. Plantation Villas certainly lived up to its billing and provided a very comfortable base for our holiday. The villa itself was very well fitted and comfortable. The welcome from the staff was warm and helpful and the maid service was brilliant. Ask her to cook an evening meal for you - it was just wonderful and well worth the few extra dollars. The Seahorse restaurant - just a hundred metres along the road - was terrific and we ate there on three occasions - food and service first rate although the prices are nearer european than caribbean. We enjoyed the quiet and relaxing location. The pool was like a warm bath and bar service friendly. For us the fact that the Carribbean is literally a few seconds away was just great. There were no crowds and there was no one trying to sell you trips, craft goods etc etc unlike around the other hotels and apartments. Swimming was very easy and we even managed to see a turtle laying its eggs on the beach one night. Sunsets were spectacular and best viewed after a cocktail. The bird life around the villas was amazing as were the iguanas. The mosquitoes and insects were a wee bit of a nuisance and visitors should bring a good supply of creams and sprays. The island itself was delightful. It was the start of the rainy season when we went so we had some amazing rainstroms which lasted for a few minutes and then disappeared. The temperature however was never below 30 degrees. Because of the location of Plantation Beach, I hired a car for the fortnight - not all that cheap and the driving is , let's say different - and that gave us flexibility. All in all, Plantation Beach was the perfect base for a relaxing, quiet and very enjoyable holiday.

An excellent choice when visiting the lovely Tobago. Instead of being stuck in a hotelroom, you have your very own house. You can buy your own supplies, so there's no long walk down to the bar, if you want a beer or snack.

Furthermore you get your private maid, who does all the cleaning and for a small extra fee makes dinner. Also the maid do the laundry, which means you can return from your vacation with a suticase of clean clothes.

Last, but not least, all the employes are extremely friendly!

The greatest vacation ever!

This is a WONDERFUL property. The service is exceptional and the property's beach is great. Whatever activity you want to do can be arrange easily by Fiona right in the office. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend this property.

Of note; most prices in resturants, pubs and for tours are quoted US dollars however most establishments want to be paid in TT$ at a 6 to 1 ratio as of AUG 2006 (TT$ to US$). This property does not exchange any currency however there is an ATM a short 5 minute stroll into town. If you need to exchange currency do it at the airport (usually not a good rate) or at the bank in Crown Point when you arrive. We found we got the best exchange using the ATM.

Pleased with villa on evening arrival, although rather suprised that a road ran between villas and pool/beach area. Following morning fully appreciated our very comfortable accommodation and the location, view and especially the arrival of Shirley who was to look after us magnificently for the next 10 days.
We were fortunate in having what we thought was the best located villa (the ones at the top of the property were close to the main road and quite a climb on foot)and had the pool facilities mainly to ourselves.
Stonehaven beach although not as picturesque as some Caribbean beaches soon became a great favourite with very good swimming (no jelly fish/seaweed) and plenty of activity - fishermen hauling in their nets in the morning, but nobody pushing their wares.
Proximity to Golf Course, other beaches and shops a great bonus, especially as eating out was very disappointing, and either Shirley or our cooking made this a perfect family holiday home.
