Large family reunion over the Xmas week. The footprints team, led by Marian and wonderfully assisted by her son Corey, did a superb job. Everyone was totally at ease and had a wonderful time. Its a place with fabulous privacy and quiet. It also has spectacular views. The footprints team couldn't do enough to be helpful and accomodating. Wonderful memories of Tobago thanks in very large part to them.

We stayed at the Footprints Resort for one week and it was quite an experience. I loved the setting and the look of the restaurant right from the start. The rooms didn't look like European/North American standard at all, but everything was always clean - and I never had my own hammock before. The staff was very nice and helpful and the food was great. And it truely lived up to its name "Eco" Resort with all the animals around the hotel (and the frog in the open shower).

We stayed at Footprints as the second part of our honeymoon in June, aiming for total seclusion in beautiful and comfortable surroundings. The resort has fantastic potential and it is in a stunning setting. However, the accommodation was very disappointing, grubby and dirty, badly maintained and managed. We actually ended up leaving a couple of days early to finish our honeymoon in much more inviting surroundings.

We have just returned from two days at Footprints Eco Resort in Tobago. We were booked to stay at another spot nearby and had headed out to explore before arriving at our intended destination. We saw the sign for Footprints and drove down to have a look...and within minutes changed our plans so that we could remain at this wonderful place.

Footprints has clearly seen better days. In the short 7 or so years since it was built it has certainly deteriorated. The upkeep on a place like that must be extensive, and it certainly is in need of more maintenance. And there are many, many nicer beaches in Tobago. And much more to do in other resorts.

But we will go back to Footprints. The four units facing the bay are wonderful, with spectacular views, privacy, and a hammock outside our door. Our king sized bed was very comfortable. We loved the bathtub/shower with the little garden right by the tub. We slept to the sound of the waves crashing on the beach. We helped Kirk to pull back the "retractable" roof in the dining area to watch the moon and stars as we ate. We had a drink in the sea water hot tub and watched the sunset. And we ate wonderfully cooked fish, curries, dahl, and home made ice cream.

The atmosphere is completely low key and relaxed. There is no pretention whatsoever. Privacy, intimacy, water, birds, stars....what more could you want for a short stay.
