Guest Report

[Richard Cayton]

Accomadations at Birdie's Nest were excellent. There was nothing there we were wanting for as far as furnishing go. Everything you would need for a stay at a guest house was supplied. Everything worked, nothing was broken. The place was clean and comfortable, kinda of like your place on the beach or lake would be. We stayed at a downstairs apartment, but you could sit on the front porch in furnished lawn chairs and watch the ocean all day if you wanted to. The yard is small, but alive with native flora I suppose. The birds and butterflies seemed to like it. Our host Prince was very accomodating. He arranged everything from the air tickets, ground transportation, restuarant choices, and set us up with a tour of the coastine by boat complete with snorkeling and a barbeque. He also made sure we caught the return flight as we were maybe running a little late. We only spent two days and two nights there as I had to get back to my job in Trinidad, but that week-end was great. I had to get back to work to rest.LOL This place is not that big. If you're looking for the big resort with all the perks like swimming pool, casino, attached restuarant, wait staff all around, then this isn't it. If you want a nice place on the beach (about 50 yards away) that's quiet, comfortable and very affordable, that you can use as a base for touring the island, than this is the place. Besides, Birdie arranged for a lady to come in the morning to cook breakfast for us, whatever we wanted. You just don't get that kind of service anywhere. Like I said, our visit was short and sweet, but very nice, and I hope to do it again before I get out of Trinidad, and we highly recommend this place. One word of caution, reserve early, ask questions, - this place goes quick just by word of mouth.
