Starfish Tobago

The hospitality felt warm and welcoming.

“Disappointed and pricey”

We enjoyed the sea view, the coffee, and Troy the security guard's friendly greetings. Yet some staff were rude; one was aggressive and tried to force me to wear a plastic bracelet for breakfast the day before, even though it wasn’t high season. The room was outdated with dirty floors and pubic hairs on the bathroom floor. The pool water was also dirty and cloudy.

“Nice pool and beach but it's very outdated and is not worth the price.”

I liked the beach, pool, and the food at Bay Grill. Ms. Cindy was welcoming and sweet, as was the receptionist. The rest of the staff were rude and unwelcoming, which upset us; only two people offered good service. The food options were limited, with Bay Grill being the only decent choice.

“It was nice and the staff was nice, especially the breakfast staff.”

The pool area was enjoyable, but the TV in the room was not working.

“Pleasant and relaxing because we went for the bay and the scenery, not the hotel.”

Staff is very friendly and helpful and relatively attentive for a laid-back, slow-paced society. Good energy and good interaction with guests. The location is excellent if you like Courland bay and Turtle beach which one has almost to oneself. And don't forget that turtles nest there!! Gorgeous mornings and evenings on the shore. My son was delighted to see the release of some turtle hatchlings one night. Hotel badly needs investment in upgrading the lobby area and dining facilities. In fact, that section should be totally rebuilt. The pool water was cloudy white which means that something was wrong - nobody entered the pool for 3 days. Hotel took too long to address that. There are also issues beyond the hotel's mandate. On the beach front, both visitors and fishermen leave litter on the shore. Too often there are empty plastic water bottles, beer bottles, shiny wrappers from snack foods, etc., etc. Each morning I picked up garbage as I walked. And when I raised it with the fishermen, some got angry and abusive. That does not augur well for the future. Furthermore, for about 100 metres on the side of the beach towards the fishing jetty at Plymouth point there was discarded, dead, rotting herring which is apparently by-catch from fishermen nets. That is a shock to see in 2026. Wasteful and unsustainable. Surely so much herring or other by-catch should be used to make pet food or as inputs into some other manufacturing process instead of leaving dead fish to rot on the beach. Sad statement about perhaps the wider society, not the hotel. But tourism involves MANY actors. Generally speaking, there is too much garbage on ALL beaches in Tobago. Not a good reflection on the local culture and the tourists who visit. Even Bucco Bay beach had empty plastic bottles, waste plastic of all types, beer & other bottles from alcoholic beverages, etc. But once I got beyond where the humans hang out on Bucco bay, the area was clean. Tobago needs to clean up its act
