We were very dissapointed by the treatment that we had recieved during our stay at the Bijou Des Caraibes.The place was very dusty,there were insects all over,the bathroom was flooding,the aircondition units were dirty and we were greeted by a dead frog laying betwween the bedrooms in the hallway.All this we had put behind us as the host blamed it on the cleaner who she claimed had not been doing her job.What had really upsetted our stay is the story that follows.
The host seemed to be very nice at first but our opionions had changed when a mishap had occured.We stayed in the two bedroom apartment located near the poolside which had a large bedroom and an extremely small bedroom.Being adults the small bedroom did not accompany a comfortable stay.We had asked the host if we could join the beds in that room since they were so small,she agreed.Upon tryin to join the beds,they could not be joined due to the fact that the bed heads were clashing which left a huge gap between the two.We decided to remove the frame and just use the matresses,trying to sleep on the two small beds were very uncomfortable and we were extremly tired form a long day .Having no space in the room for movement,we had to carry out the frames to the bigger bedroom.Upon carrying out the frames the boards slipped out of place.This was normal as these were old fashion beds made out of wood.The beds were made up of 10 pieces of wood (4 large ones and 6 small ones),all the pieces were hooked into place,there was no tools (inluding nails or screws) or excessive force neccessary for the constrution of the bed.We saw no problem with this and made up our minds to make the best of the situation and reconstruct the beds after our stay.The next morning I was awaken by yelling by the host.She had barged in announced and was raising her voice at my two friends who were staying in the next room.I rushed outside to see what was going on.The host,the maid and a man she had brought to fix the beds were all in the kitchen staring at us still dressed in our night clothes.I was so distraught that i did not know what to do.The host had not told us what the problem was,instead she had called the organiser who had booked the stay and complained.We were confused.We are the tenants,when there is a problem she was suppose to come to us and let us know,we had no idea of what was going on.She refused for us to fix it back ourselves so we made way for the builder.Calmly realising that what we had upsetted her,we agreed to pay for the man she brought to fix back the beds,but this did not stop the yelling.She had left the apartment and the builder came into the bedrooms to fix the beds.It took literally 2 minutes to reassemble the beds and the builder did nothing but hand the pieces of wood to us,as he realised there was no work to be done.He left the apartment unpaid realising that he had did nothing and was sent back by host stating that she demanded that he was paid.Without argument we paid him,we just wanted to leave as soon as we could.That was the last we saw of the host,when we left she was not there and we were more than upset by the way we were treated.The reputation of the appartments should surely be tarnished due to the absurd behaviour of the host.

I have been to Tobago several times but I must admit this trip was the best ever and it's not only because of the company I traveled with. We arrived early afternoon in the blazing sun, my boyfriend and I were totally in awe.....the garden was the first thing to catch our attention, it's totally breathtaking, right away I knew we made the right choice. Judy was right there to greet us, she is a total gem, it was like greeting long lost friends. She took my luggage and quickly led us to our one bedroom accommodation, very spacious with everything you could possibly desire. The thing that lingers in my memory is the heart made of petals on the bed....it brought tears to my eyes, I think it was so amazing that she knew this was a romantic get away without me ever indicating when I made reservations.

We only booked three nights here but it was so serene and perfect we stayed (6) six nights instead. I can't swim and I've always avoided swimming pools, but there was no way I was going to avoid lounging in this little paradise, we even had a late night swim after "Sunday School".

The room was cleaned everyday, we never had to request clean sheets or towels. The only things that were removed from the room were the dirty linen and the trash. None of our stuff went missing and this is totally commendable.

Bijou des caraibes is my paradaise in Tobago and there is no way I'm gonna stay anywhere else and Judy has just become an addition to our family.

staff is very helpful. after having picked us up at the airport judge tried to be helpful where possible. after 2 days we left, because we were not feeling like on holidays - room were clean, but very simple and very dark. the rooms offered were in the groundfloor at the back of the house - not in front of the swimmingpool. by staying there i would suggest a car. staff very racomendable, rooms not.

After doing a lot of searching online, we found Bijoux de Caraibes, and booked one bedroom apartment, we stayed there from Sept. 11 to Sept. 15. We made the right decision. It offers high security with a personal alarm system; the apartments are very comfortable and quiet. There is a nice pool and a great garden where you can enjoy talking or reading in the sun or shade. Each apartment has a kitchen equipped with cooking utensils and dishes, fridge, stove, microwave and kettle. The place is clean and quite.
Judy deserves a special mention, she is a very helpful, friendly and peaceful lady, who makes you feel really comfortable in a foreign country, thanks Judy, you are such a special person.
Definitively our stay in Bijoux de Caraibes was a very delightful experience, highly recommend for everyone who likes an easy, comfortable en well-organized stay.
See you,
Desmond and Rusbelys
