Guest Report

[Dawn And Trevor Coote]

We stayed in Coconut Heights, the one-bedroomed apartment at the Beach House, for 8 nights at the end of April. Sadly, there was a previous booking which meant we moved on to other accommodation but we would have happily stayed here for the full 2 weeks of our holiday (and longer given half a chance!).

We had planned to hire a car and see as much as possible but quite frankly we spent most of our days on the verandah looking out over the blue Caribbean sea watching the bananaquits, tanagers, motmots and pelicans. We even saw dolphins. We didn't feel the need to go anywhere, especially after we'd bought a bottle of rum for around £7.50 ...

The apartment is very clean and has a well-equipped kitchen, a dining table to seat 6 easily, good shower and comfortable bed with mosquito net. Carline changed the bed linen and towels every 3 days.

We enjoyed a day with Porridge and the 2 other couples staying at the Beach House visiting Argylle Waterfall, Little Tobago and Charlotteville.

Porridge is what you hope a holiday contact will be but you don't usually get. He is charming, friendly and very helpful. He is happy when he knows you are happy and does what he can to make sure you're having a good time.

One word of caution, take insect repellent which specifically works against sandflies. We were also advised to avoid sitting on the beach up by the trees and bushes but stay closer to the water. We had no problem with mosquitoes, in fact we didn't even see one.

We rarely holiday in the same place twice but we're already talking about dates to go back (especially as I'm sitting in winter clothes looking out of the window at the pouring rain). Try keeping us away!
