Birdie's Nest - Reader Reports & Opinion

Nice Rooms Much Space Lonely Beach - Beautiful!!!   

Marion Uckert from Germany visited in February 2007 and awarded  

We have stayed at Birdie's Nest during the beginning of our holidays in February 2007 and it was a really nice start! The rooms are very convenient, we had a kitchen and really enough space for our luggage and the very best is the location directly at the sea! In the morning you have a beautiful look from you window to the deep blue sea and in the evening you can sit on the veranda and watch the pelikans on their way back to where they sleep. The beach is huge and sometimes we were really alone there.

Our host Prince Robinson was very friendly and gave us some good advice where to go and what to visit. The village is nice, there are some shops and the steel drum factory of "Katzenjammer".

The most impressive experience we made at the end of the beach (near Plymouth) where fishermen were pulling out the net together with tourists from the nearby hotel in the early evening. It was a good catch and they threw a large and a small manta ray and some blowfish back to the sea. Dozens of pelikans and frigate birds were diving into the water and catching fish out of the fishermen's net – smashing!

We will not give the maximum 5 stars because: Unfortunately there are some construction works going on in the neighbourhood so that a walk on the beach is disturbed by concrete blocks lying in the sea. Directly at Birdie's Nest there is a kind of a sand heap you have to climb when coming back from the beach. But generelly it is a really marvellous place to be! To go to Fort Bennet and watch the sunset with a cool Carib in your hand – that's Caribbean feeling!

The Perfect Place To Get Away!!!

Me and my fiancé stayed here for just 6 nights (I night lost due to the flight being delayed) but it´s one of the best holidays I´ve had. We were picked up from the airport on time, and Prince (our host) took us shopping on the way home. Sadly the shops were closed as we arrived on a Sunday evening but Prince had already brought us the essentials which were: fruit, bread, butter, cheese and water.

The apartment we stayed in (number 2 I think), although the smallest, was huge! We had AC in the bedroom and some funky lamps that came on when you touched them!!

The biggest bonus for me was the tour that Prince gave us. He took us around the whole island explaining many features, monuments and why the beaches had their names. He also arranged a snorkel dive off the coast of Speyside where we got to see a large reef and many fish. We were asked if there was anything else we wanted to see and we also ended up going to the Botanical Gardens which were completely covered in Christmas lights! All in all great value for money and very interesting.

The holiday as a whole was perfect, the empty beach on our doorstep and the hot sunny weather made staying at the house easy to do. The water is warm and refreshing and the rocks nearby are great to explore.

This is a perfect place to get away, with Prince being the friendliest guy I know and all the help he gave made it one to remember.

Simply Perfect

I have vacationed at Birdie's nest since it came into creation, and i must say it is even more beautiful every year. When i read the reviews i thought to myself imust add something.

As mentioned above prince was there at the port every time i have stayed in tobago and i choose to stay nowhere else. It is private secure and comfortable.

Its a home away from home, with a beach suitable for long walks and the water is always wonderful. the sunset is impeccable and so is the sunrise if you get up early enough to see it.

I always recommend this guesthouse to anyone who wants to stay in tobago, it is affordable and perfect for a getaway. If you think you will get lost in tobago have no fear sigla is there to help you find all the interesting spots and locations in tobago and he is just a phone call away.

Turtles, the beach, sunsets and sunrise, snorkelling and even fishing is a fun way to spend a vacation. also if you don't feel like cooking fast food is alwats available, just a 15 minute drive if so much. There are also restaurants available close by, if i continue i will never finish just take my advice Birdie's Nest is the place to be.

Ten Out Of Ten For Birdie's Nest   

Anne Tierney from U.K. visited in June 2006 and awarded  

I have just stayed in Birdie's Nest for two weeks and had a lovely time. The location is fantastic – right on the beach, and perfect for turtle watching at night. The bedrooms were lovely and had COLD air conditioning, essential after the heat of the day. The bathrooms had hot and cold running water, huge showers, and the living area was comfortable. Bedlinen was changed every five nights, which meant that the beds were always comfortable to get into.

The owner, Prince Robinson, and his mother could not have been nicer and looked after us well.

Thank you very much for a fantastic time.

Wish Were There!

This was our 2nd trip to Tobago and as before, we got exactly what we wanted out of it. We only spent 1 week at the Birdie's nest but once we got there, we did not want to come home.

The top floor accomodation was lovely and spacious. Good kitchen, american fridge, lots of fans, nice size bedrooms (there are 2)with quiet air conditioning,comfortable furniture,And very clean.

Prince Robinson and his lovely mom made us feel very welcome and he has a good sense of humour :) It was so nice waking up to peace and quiet and the sound of the ocean (o ye! And the parrot next door that thinks its a rooster..really!)

Black Rock is the perfect location to get to either side of the island, there is a store on every corner for fresh local veg & fruit amongst other things, and Penny Savers is within driving distance for more familiar food.

But anyway back to Birdie's nest... We are booked for 2 weeks next year and we are there already :)If you are looking for peace and quiet, have some time to wile away the hours doing nothing but reading, swimming, cocktails, sun.... well you get the picture....

Enjoy
