Guest Report

[Judith Tait]

Birdie’s Nest, Tobago

“Prince”, our friendly and helpful host aims to offer his guests “perfection”, and in the Tobago setting, he is there. This report confirms all the positives in the other “My Tobago” reports, but adds a final thought as a challenge to the danger of complacency!
We have just come to the end of 2 blissfully relaxed and comfortable weeks, in which we self catered and chose not to use car hire, so we challenged the facilities and the locale of Black Rock to their fullest extent.
The 100% positives include the infinity pool with its silky water, the endless supply of piping hot water, the comfortable bed, and the peace of the complex and its surrounds overlooking a deserted beach. The feeders in the garden brought many of Tobago’s birds to the doorstep. The apartment was immaculately clean and well provided, including TV and radio with BBC channels.
Prince provides his own map to Black Rock which locates shops and places to eat and drink which we found indispensable during our first days. We enjoyed one meal out at Fishpot. The basic food stuffs are to be had in Black Rock, but we found it necessary to take the bus to Scarborough for extra “variety”.
We also took the bus to Charlottesville which is a long and winding drive, and did not seem to offer any more attractive beaches or views than the one at the bottom of the garden, or in Stonehaven Bay.
So, to close. Our final thought.....the kitchen needs a lime crusher for our Rum Punches! Prince has promised this will be supplied.
