This was my second time staying here. Overall it’s a good hotel. The staff was very inviting, not as much bugs as I expected and the food was really good. I even got two massages which were really good. The only things I can complain about is the stairs down to the beach, my God! I also didn’t have a phone in my room. Other than that, it’s a very peaceful experience.

This hotel is a home away from home. With friendly staff, comfortable rooms, scenic views and private beach. My partner and I really enjoyed ourselves tremendously. The restaurant was great . And the shops that were nearby were convenient. Our time was well spent . Will definitely recommend coming back . Even if its as a single female independent traveller. The massages at the spa were most divine do have one while your there. I left a google map review with photos please view my comment there.

Loved the views but not the sliding doors.
Fantastic setting and room overlooking gardens, pool and sea vew over to Trinidad. Room rather tired in places, and balcony sliding (pull, shove, wrestle) doors not working well, difficulty to open near impossible to fully close. Be warned, lot and lots of steps. Breakfast not bad but more cerals please.

The staff at the resort was wonderful, but we were quite disappointed with the conditions of the resort. We booked a balcony room, but the sink did not work. The staff moved us to a new room while we were at dinner, but they moved us to a first floor room. The entire resort seemed very dated and in disrepair, though it was clean. The views are limited, especially in first or second floor rooms, and the beach is quite small but very cute and scenic. The menu at the restaurant was large, but the food was fairly mediocre and the service was quite slow. Overall, I am surprised that the reviews are so high for this place, as we did not have that experience. Again, staff were terrific and responsive, but this place needs a big update.

Dear Mistythank you for the review although it is not quite factual. All our rooms enjoy a wonderful view of the Sea, your claim that the sink in the bathroom did work is wrong - you simply did not figure out how the faucet works! That is a bit surprising to us as we did not think we have to provide a manual. There are many types of faucets and we understand that this might be confusing for some. We use - what is called- a "ball faucet". This is a washer-less faucet with an interior slotted ball assembly controlling the flow of hot and cold water.... it has a single handle (!) which you tilt to the left or right to get hot or cold water. We are really sorry if this threw you off balance.

Despite losing an entire night because we arrived the next day, the room was not ready. Upon entering the room, it was as pictured on the advertisement. The furniture was older and the beds was not comfortable. The Superior penthouse suite did not appear to be rented for some time because the facilities were rusted with lots of lime scale. The patio doors did not lock; however, they did resolve the issue by sending a maintenance person to adjust the doors. The pool that was closest to the room was out of commission for the entire stay. The room lacked a working television that provided local channel access. Be prepared to subscribe to a streaming service if you want to watch television. The refrigerator did not get cold unless you put the items in the freezer. The steps that headed down to the pool were either infested with ants and termites or were narrow and very steep which was a safety hazard. In regards to the complimentary breakfast and dinner, this was by far the most disappointing. There were not many local traditional foods and the dinner options were limited. Many items advertised on the menu were unavailable. The food was sub-par and had a non Caribbean taste.

When we arrived at the property the entrance to the lobby wasnt well lit, however you could see cobwebs hanging from the light fixtures as if no maintenance was done in this hotel in months. We informed the receptionist that the pictures of the hotel was false from those on the websites. They offered no apologies and tried to check us in. I refused and went to another hotel.
Response from Ryan on Jun 2, 2023
Dear Jaredthank you for taking the time to post a review even though it does not reflect the reality of our hotel property. You claim to have seen cobwebs on the light fixtures at the reception area and wrongly conclude that no maintenance has been done for months. A very basic knowledge of nature would have told you that it takes even the smallest spider only a few minutes to build a web . Amazing! Isn't it? You also claim that the pictures of our website are "false". That of course is also wrong - all the pictures of the hotel were shot by our local professional photographer - no filters were used and no photoshop applied. If these two "claims" were sufficient for you not to check-in at Bacolet Beach Club then we would like to express our gratitude to you for going somewhere else.

Staff were great and accomodating especially Tessa who shuttled us from the airport. The view from the room was beautiful, the room was clean but needs some updating, no place for soap in the shower and lightning very low in bathroom.Our sliding door didn't close and maintenence was alerted right away but he couldn't fix while we were there so we had lizards popping in to say hi. Overall it was a good experience the food in the restaurant was good...although I don't have a preference for salami, and baked beans for breakfast I enjored dinner. I wish everyone the best and hope to see you all the best

Dear Mr Raghosingh Your poor rating is somewhat surprising since you made it known to all of our staff that you had a great 2-nights' stay at our beautiful hotel. Your odd claims of "doors being unsafe" and "incident with the kids" -without elaborating- do require some clarification from our side.Please, allow us to help your memory and enlighten the readers of this platform. After you checked into one of our Tower Suites you and your wife decided to go out for dinner and leave your three teenagers at home. Your sixteen-year old teenager used the SECURITY lock to close the hotel room's door from the inside. Upon your return all your kids were fast asleep and therefore not able to open your door. It took quite some time until your 16 year old woke up to let you back into the room. The security lock did what it meant to do - it secured the door! It is hard to comprehend why you would call the door "unsafe". As a Trinidadian you surely know how a security lock works. It also surprises us that you would blame the hotel for your failure of parental guidance ("incident with kids"). If you tell your 16-year old to close the door from the inside, you should have explained to your teenager to unlock when you are back from dining. You could also have applied common sense and use the key of the hotel room and lock the door yourself when you leave the room! Last, all our hotel rooms open to the Sea overlooking our beautiful "private" bay. The only 'noise' you can hear are soft waves from the Ocean and some exotic birds in the morning.RyanFront Desk

Our room was clean, no problems there. Staff were courteous as well. Pools were beautiful. Didn't realize to get to the beach required walking down 55 steps.....that was not worth it. Had I know I would have booked somewhere else without a beach, since we didn't use the beach. The restaurant though leaves a lot to be desired. I paid for the breakfast and dinner to be included, however the options for choices for dinner were limited and I wasn't informed of this before. The food and drinks were overall mediocre.

Dear Crystalwe are really sorry to hear that you didn't want to go down the steps to the beach which is part of the hotel's beautiful crescent shaped, private sandy bay. You really missed out - besides walking a few steps every day helps to keep one's spirit high and .... personal weight under control. Our restaurant receives usually highest praise from hotel guests and guests from the outside. We are proud to say that Cafe Havana is probably the most popular restaurant on the island. Sometimes it helps to focus on the quality of food - rather than on quantity. Kind regards,The Management

This beach resort/club provided the exact respite I was needing. The staff is competent and friendly, with many vacation amenities. I traveled with my teenage daughter and two of her friends - the rooms were well designed, the view from our verandah was the ocean, and there were three pools and a restaurant with a very capable cook. I will recommend this property to anyone who is thinking about vacationing in Tobago.

We took a day trip to Tobago. I found the property on Expedia and booked it. The room was nice, clean and had air conditioning, so that was my main concern. The pool was nice and there was a small private beach. The room was perfect for us and we enjoyed our stay. I would definitely recomend to anyone looking to enjoy a quiet, beautiful stay in this magical place...

I had a wonderful time at Bacolet Beach club. From airport pick up to my return home, the customer service was on point. Kudos to Tessa and Kelcia!! When I arrived there were a few hiccups such as no TV remote and the kettle was not working. These were promptly rectified by Kelcia. The room was clean prior to arrival and was cleaned everyday. Beds were well-made and bathroom was clean and well maintained. The meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) were delicious with great options. I was happy about the breakfast changes each morning. Tessa, thanks for being so accommodating by allowing us to stay out longer while holding our lunches until we returned. This was a pleasant vacation. Only thing is that the room wi-fi needs to be upgraded as it was poor at times. Overall, it was a good experience and I will definitely return!!!!!!

This resort was dilapidated and is in desperate need of a facelift. I am usually a glass half full rather than half empty type of person who tries to look for the positive in every situation. However, based on my experience I will not recommend this location to anyone. My party of 4 booked 2 Bay Rooms with breakfast included for 3 nights. We were placed in 2 rooms upon arrival but encountered the following issues in the rooms. Rodent and cockroach faeces in cupboards, drawers, and corners of the room, the bed linen was covered in mildew, stained, and had a bad odour. Also, the bathroom fixtures were faulty (only boiling hot water in one shower, whilst the other only had cold water). After 2 hrs of waiting, we were moved to 2 other rooms. However, these rooms also had issues. The bed linens and pillows had a bad odour, big brown stains were visible on the pillows which were clearly unwashed, broken bathroom fixtures (shower handle detached). A pair of pliers was given to us by the repair guy to open and close the shower. Also, no channels on TV. Only YouTube is available if you do not have a subscription to a video service like Netflix, Disney Plus etc. Construction (jack hammer) noise was also a problem during the day. The resort was also poorly lit at night. Breakfast left much to be desired for. The private beach is beautiful. This resort has great potential, but it is in desperate need of a facelift and proper maintenance.

Dear Marvinit is really needless to say that your review is packed with untruths and quite obviously the result that you did not read the cancellation policy and became extremely furious when our friendly receptionist calmly explained to you that there is a 1-night cancellation fee. Until then you had absolutely no complaint about the hotel - after realizing that there is a fee attached to it you decided to go online to spread your fake news. We believe bookers can look through your fake comment.

Rough on the edges
When in Tobago don't expect a 5 star experience, it is what it is. The Beach club is a good place to stay with great views of the ocean. The staff is great and very helpful. The restaurant is also very accommodating with great food and a free breakfast. The room was clean but showing its age with a sliding door ready to fall off its rails. The mattress was rock hard and I had trouble sleeping. The TV was not connected to anything but I had my computer and Sling for entertainment. Basically don't go to Tobago for the hotel rooms, but for everything else you planed on.
