We have the most wonderful memories of our stay at Hibiscus Heights. My then-fiance, now-husband and I booked it for our wedding trip, to accommodate us and many of our family and friends. Our group could not have been happier! The villa was perfect because there were plenty of spacious gathering areas but it also allowed for people to have comfortable privacy when desired. We loved Pleasant Prospect, from our previous Tobago trip, and those in our group fell in love with the village immediately as well. There are plenty of restaurants of all types just below the villa, the best beaches right down the street, and people so friendly that you can't help making friends that are hard to leave at the end of the trip.
Gill and Paul, the owners of the property who live on site on the middle level of the villa are absolutely wonderful. They were incredibly helpful with our rehearsal dinner (and many other details) just because they are kind and loving people--not because they had any responsibility or obligation for it. Very much in tune with the island overall.
We took the master bedroom upstairs for our honeymoon suite, and had friends and family in the other rooms as well as in the one-bedroom apartment below and the separate cottage. Everyone absolutely loved their rooms and the whole feel of the place. It was truly paradise--luxurious and homey at the same time. The huge wrap-around balcony upstairs was the main gathering place for us and even for our guests staying in other places...we had our rehearsal dinner there before the wedding along with several other meals and endless hours of birdwatching and relaxation. The pool was a great place to refresh and relax as well. But those views from the balcony--wow!
Waking up to the sounds of the tropical birds was absolute bliss. Watching the cocricos, blue taningers, motmots, banaquits and all the rest as they would try to pluck at the popos (small mangoes) on the tree reaching up by our balcony was endless entertainment. It was like visiting a bird sanctuary but we were living in it. I had never appreciated birds like this until Hibiscus Heights. We really enjoyed bananas and other fruit from the trees right there on the property, as well as the gorgeous tropical flowers all around us.
The one bedroom apartment in the middle level is really cute and spacious, with its own little front porch. The cottage below is also really adorable, with a good sized enclosed patio, very lush and tropical. As I said, everyone was thrilled with their rooms, there was not a thing to complain about. If you're really out of shape though, you may not like the hill or the stairs, but for most of us it was worth the little climb to be at such a striking vantage point where we could see the coastline and hear the ocean from our rooms and balcony.
We usually like to explore different places and areas but in this case we know that our top choice will be to return to Hibiscus Heights as soon as the opportunity arises!
