Guest Report

[Monique Tjon a Koy]

We hit the jackpot!! We stayed in the best villa on the island. If you need rest and quiet and want to be surrounded by peacefulness and beautiful panoramic scenery: choose the PINK HOUSE. We fell in love with the house the moment we stepped in. The first thing you see is the ocean thru the lovely arch shaped doors, which by the way remain open day and night. The villa has everything you ask for, from a fully equipped kitchen, fridge with icemaker, dishwasher and even a cafetierre to make coffee the Italian way to a bathtub and great books to read and not to forget the washer and dryer.
The big suite on the 1st floor is just fantastic. When we lay down in the bed we could just look at the stars at night. The big veranda around the suite was an icing on the cake and also those doors remained open day and night and the view is stunning. The overall feeling for the house was one of light, openness, tranquility and comfort. I had spent close to 40 hrs on the internet to find ourselves a nice place and it paid off. We spent 2 weeks in Tobago and the 1st week in the Pink House and we decided to enjoy the villa and the great swimming pool to the full, which meant we postponed our sightseeing, tours en even beaches to the following week which we would spent in another accommodation. We only left the house if we didn’t feel like cooking and going down the mountain into Black Rock was just a little over 5 min drive to nice restaurants. The fancy ones were just 10 min away. Worth to mention is also that the house was clean and what we particularly liked is the fact that the covers of the couches were washed before every new guest comes in, as well as all the carpets. It really gives you a “clean” feeling. Guess what: there is so much breeze that there is no need at all for an air-conditioning and Best of all: No Mosquito’s. Believe me that is worth a lot. We just hated to leave after 8 days and we can only compliment the owner Sandra with her beautiful house. We met her and she was so sweet and helpful and gave us the best service ever. When we arrived at noon Susan the manager picked us up from the airport, but since check in is at 3.00 pm she took us to a beautiful condominium where we could rest until the house was ready for us. Sandra also reminded us that we could eat whatever fruits were on the premises. At that time lime and bananas, the mangos were not ripened. Since there is a blender available make sure you make some nice smoothies, we had lots of them at breakfast. Oh by the way, you can have breakfast inside the house at the dining table, but we sat outside on the spacious porch/veranda looking over the swimming pool to the forest and ocean.
We just had such a fantastic and comfortable time in the Pink House that we wanted everyone to know that it is worth every penny. We left totally relaxed and happy and if we ever come back to Tobago it will only be to the Pink House.
