SPBC review
Posted: Fri May 20, 2005 8:42 am
It's a 9 out of 10, with one point deducted because nothing is perfect.
Even though there was some construction going on while we were there May 6-13, who can fault a resort for expansion? Also, the workers stuck to the schedule apparently set by the SPBC owner, which meant most of the noise was happening while guests were out an about.
Pool: Great for a dip, but nothing you'd spend all day sitting around. Try the slide! Also, incredible ocean view.
Bar (Clubhouse): The best sunset in Tobago, they say. They were right, and the staff was friendly and had a good sense of humor. Also, who lines up a billiard shot with the Caribbean Sea perched just over the ball? SPBC pool players, that's who. Finally, can you say "beach-bar hammock"?
Restaurant: Well, we never went. Its hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Rooms: Our studio was spacious for two people. Clean and comfortable, with remote-control air-conditioning, TV and a full kitchen (stove/oven, blender, toaster, coffee maker and all the dishes and untensils you'd need). Cleaning staff was friendly and accommodating.
Laundry service: Affordable and same-day. Go early.
Hot tubs: 3 of them, all of differing degrees C (F). Nice places to unwind at night.
Activities: A host of activites are planned, from Charlotteville/Speyside trips, to Scarborough shopping to rainforest tours. We won a scuba diving trip in a raffle our first day. What's not to like about that?
Frontier Divers: Try them, you'll like them. They're on-site. Ask for Big Doggy. Our first time scuba diving was a pleasure and not stressful.
Location: You can walk to Store Bay in 7 minutes; it's close to Flaming Dragon Chinese restarant, Ru-B-Lou's, Tropikist's ocean-view bar, the airport; and a taxi to Pigeon Point takes less than 10 minutes.
We'll be back as soon as we can make it.
Thanks, Sandy Point Beach Club. We had a great trip.
