Kapinjala - Reader Reports & Opinion
Guest Report
Derek & Catherine from U.K. visited in September 2010 and awarded 
A magnificently appointed villa with lovely views across the valley and to the sea beyond from our bedroom (complete with 4-poster) and balcony.
We spent hours whiling the time away in the pool or on the sofas drinking rum punch, gazing at the vista and watching the wildlife below. A great spot to watch sunsets too.
The villa has all mod cons, a well kitted out kitchen & spacious living areas - I couldn't think of a home comfort that hadn't been catered for by the owners.
It's a good base from which to visit beaches and restaurants. You do need a car to get around the island and make the most of your visit.
The welcome meal and drink is a nice touch after a long journey, as is the seemingly endless supply of towels around the pool.
A marvellous place to relax and unwind, and pretty good value too.

We spent 4 nights and 5 days at Kapinjala and throughly enjoyed ourselves. We found it very relaxing and tranquil with the views out over the ocean beautiful. Most of our time spent there was on the back porch lounging in the chairs and swimming in the infinity pool. We found it difficult to leave once our time was up and we plan to come back in the near future. I highly recommend Kapinjala to those looking for a quite luxurious villa in the Caribbean.

Our group of three couples, two adult daughters and one small child thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kapinjala. Marlon and his crew of merry men met us and our copious luggage (wedding gifts, household items, and a bicycle for the groom) at the airport Saturday evening and transported us to Kapinjala - what a site! We couldn't see the water at that time of night but could hear the surf from the fabulous deck. A fabulous meal was waiting for us thanks to Sonia who had taken great pains to ensure there was no MSG in anything as we had one person terribly allergic to it in our party.
During our visit we got pretty good and climbing back up from the beach - a good workout for the quads. We also had family and friends staying at Soleil - just two steep hills away so earned every holiday calorie.
Each spacious bedroom has its own bathroom and balcony so there was private space anytime anyone needed it. My husband and I stayed in the downstairs room. It was great - and now has hanging space which was added in the bathroom so we had lots of room for our clothes.
A rental car is essential. Nothing looks far on a map but a map really doesn't show the hills and curves and really narrow roads. Getting to Plymouth or any other community is not really pedestrian friendly. We did go for a walk along the Mot Mot trail and it is great.
Kapinjala is well secured - but only if you follow the rules and keep the gates locked at all times. You are also advised to lock the house doors and grates at night and when away. It is a bit of a pain but we certainly never had any incidents.
We did experience a couple of nearby bush fires during our visit - apparently common in the area in the dry season. Generally once they get to the valley they stop as things are greener there. This year was particularly dry so they got a bit closer. Marlon called the fire department and made sure we were safe and then had the pool staff and housekeeper there the next day to clean up the ash and soot.
If you arrive on a Saturday - be aware that there is very little open on a Sunday in the way of grocery stores or restaurants.
We would book Kapinjala again if we had enough people going at the same time - and we will certainly go back to Tobago.

Another fantastic stay at Kapinjala. The quality and location of the villa is exceptional and our stay was very enjoyable.
Marlon was very helpful this time and the villa was kept in good order by Sonja.
Highly recommended!
Thank you

I had seen photos of Kapinjala and visited the website before my holiday but I was still taken aback when I arrived. The position is beautiful and there is everything you could possibly need in the house. It was an effort to drag ourselves away every day to see more of the island. I have never been on holiday before when I have got up at 6:30 every morning - to enjoy the calm and that first swim of the day to the edge of the infinity pool. It was perfect for a relaxing holiday.
