Trinidad and Tobago Beach Holidays

Unfortunately my family's five day stay was a terrible experience. The hotel is very run down and poorly maintained. And there were issues from the time we arrived. The biggest problem was mosquitoes in and outside our room. I complained to the young receptionist and her first response was very disappointing. I was told that there were some "very important people" including judges expected to arrive and we might not be able to switch rooms. Advice to the young lady: never make a guest feel like they're not important!!!!!! At that point, I called around and found another place to stay so we were prepared to check out. After I told the receptionist we'll be leaving is when she actually started trying to move us. We were moved to the "penthouse suite" which was essentially a larger room with no mosquitoes. Still poorly maintained, fridge didn't work, and the door around the lock is close to breaking off. We stayed but problems continued: Horrible breakfast. Birds were sometimes pecking at the food. So we chose not to eat certain things. Lunch and dinner was excellent though. On the last day, water and electricity went out. They returned after about 20 minutes but then water went again that evening. I went to the same receptionist and told her about the water. Also let her know water went that morning. She told me I should've let them know in the morning and they would've fixed it. Again, young lady, NEVER MAKE A GUEST FEEL AS THOUGH THEY ARE WRONG!!!

Lovely accommodation and tasty food.

A Biohazard Disguised as Luxury: Rodent droppings are only the beginning... Utility Failures: We had zero running water for multiple consecutive nights with no forewarning. When temporarily restored, a dark brown liquid flowed from the taps. A bathroom sink remained completely clogged and backed up with stagnant water our entire stay despite notifying management. Severe Bed Linen Neglect: Due to the water supply issues, our bed linens were never changed during our two-week stay. Worse, the sheets had highly visible stains prior to use, suggesting they were never cleaned before arrival. Biohazards & Pests: We found fresh rodent droppings on kitchen counters and food areas. New cockroaches appeared daily; dead ones were left un-swept. We completely abandoned eating any food at our villa. Outside, a dead animal carcass was left to rot right by our car, emitting a foul odor. Broken Appliances: For one bedroom, the AC was broken was days. The washing machine broke three times; management's solution was to eventually hand us a key to Villa 3 and expect us to haul our wet laundry down the hill ourselves. Do not let the photos of the view fool you. Behind the scenery is a broken, unhygienic, and structurally neglected property run by management that simply does not care. To make it clear what future guests will be getting for their money: you are paying premium luxury rates to be an unpaid maintenance tester for a crumbling villa. Look elsewhere and AVOID BOOKING AT ANY COST
