Guest Report   

Barbara Kelly from Spain visited in September 2008 and awarded  

WE WERE A GROUP OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY STAYING IN HAWKSBILL HOUSE AND THE OTHER TWO PROPERTIES, YELLOW BIRD AND SAND PEBBLES.

THE REASON FOR OUR STAY WAS THE WEDDING OF MY DAUGHTER.

I LOVED THE HOUSE. IT WAS SO LARGE AND AIRY. ALSO VERY INDEPENDANT IN THE DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE HOUSE.

THE BEDROOMS WERE LOVELY WITH SUPER BATHROOMS AND THE SHOWERS WERE GREAT. THE SOUND OF THE SEA AT NIGHT WAS SO RELAXING.

DOWNSTAIRS I FOUND THE KITCHEN AREA MORE THAN ADEQUATE AND MADE LIFE EASY FOR EATING AND HAVING FRIENDS UP FOR DRINKS. WE DIDN'T EVEN USE THE SPACIOUS SITTING ROOM AREA AS WE SPENT MOST OF OUR TIME ON THE TERRACE FOR MEALS AND SNACKS.

WE SPENT MANY HOURS WATCHING THE ANIMALS IN THE GARDEN, LIZARDS AND BIRDS AND SQUIRRELS.

THE GARDEN AND POOL AREA ARE SO LARGE THAT YOU NEVER FELT OVERCROWDED.

WE HAD THE WEDDING CEREMONY IN THE GARDEN ON THE STEPS OF THE TERRACE. THE POOL AND VEGETATION MADE A PERFECT SETTING FOR THE PHOTOGRAPHS. WE WERE ABOUT 35 PEOPLE ON THE DAY AND IT WAS EASY TO POSE FOR THE PHOTOGRAPHERS, HAVE A PAN MAN PLAYING MUSIC AND ALSO PASS AROUND DRINKS. THE WEDDING PHOTOS ARE PERFECT.

THE SITIUATION OF THE VILLA MADE IT SO EASY TO POP DOWN TO THE BEACH IN TWO MINUTES AND BACK HOME AGAIN. I MUST SAY THE BEACH IS FANTASTIC TOO. WE WOULD GO DOWN EARLY IN THE MORNING FOR A QUICK DIP AND THEN AGAIN UP AND DOWN SEVERAL TIMES A DAY.

IT WAS A DREAM HOLIDAY AND I WOULD LIKE TO REPEAT IT AGAIN. WE WOULDN'T DREAM OF GOING ANYWHERE ELSE TO STAY. IT WAS THE PERFECT VENUE FOR ALL OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

LIZ THE PROPERTY MANAGER MADE OUR STAY EASY AND TOTALLY UNFORGETABLE.

I WILL COME BACK AGAIN ONE DAY IN THE FUTURE.

Guest Report - Hawksbill Villa   

Teague Donahey from U.S.A. visited in May 2008 and awarded  

Hawksbill Villa is even nicer than shown in the marketing photos. It was a pleasant surprise. It is just steps from the beach at Stonehaven Bay, but at the same time there is privacy. The villa has many doors and windows that open wide to let the breezes run through the house. Numerous ceiling fans. The furnishings are excellent. There is a small but well-kept swimming pool. A housekeeper is on hand during the day. There are three villas associated with each other (Hawksbill, Sandpebbles, and Yellowbird), all in the same general location, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend any of them. We were very satisfied.

Guest Report - Hawksbill Villa   

Anneliese Percy from Trinidad visited in April 2008 and awarded  

Our stay at Hawkbill house was exceptional. There isn't anything I would change about the visit. Liz was very attentive and helpful and the housekeeping was fine.

We had a great time and hope to return to Hawksbill sometime soon.

Hassle Free Vacation   

David Bishop from Canada visited in April 2008 and awarded  

This was our second stay with the Westbury's and once again they provided what we wanted. A hassle free vacation !!

In 2007 we stayed at "yellowbird villa" and loved it. When booking for 2008 we were disapointed that yellowbird was already booked so we booked "Hawksbill villa" as second choice BUT after staying at Hawksbill there is no second choice.....both are magnificent.

In 2009 it won't make any difference which one is available.

The Tobago beach villas team offered true customer service. Before arrival I was given the option of being met at the airport or at the villa. I choose the villa. Liz Sloper (team representative) was awaiting our arrival and provided a comprehensive briefing of the features of the villa. It's really nice to feel that your host actually cares that you have a great vacation.

(This somewhat reads like an infomercial BUT I truly feel that in market saturated with 'pretty' advertisments, when someone delivers on what is promised credit for that achievement must be given)

As with most of us, vacation time is limited so every day counts. I would give Tobago beach villas full marks and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Relaxed, private and family friendly accomodation, what more could you wish for.

As for Tobago..........you just can't change beautiful !!
