“Post Carnival Serenity”

Caribes.

We definitely will be returning to stay with our new friends in Tobago, because we have found our JEWEL IN THE CARIBBEAN!! Post Carnival Serenity


We have been to Tobago several times and have always stayed at touristy resort type accommodations. This was the first time we have stayed in a villa and the first time we have booked directly online after researching the internet.

After a week of Carnival Fetes, and two days of chipping through Port of Spain, we arrived at Bijou des Caribes early one morning. The first thing we noticed upon
Arrival was the inviting swimming pool with beautiful flowers surrounding it. Bijou des Caribes is a very private and secluded villa high on Mount Irvine. We were met by a very cheerful staff that made us feel very comfortable, welcome and at home.

The first thing we did was take a swim in the pool. Imagine soaking in the pool with the hot mid day Caribbean sun above you, looking out across the blue Caribbean ocean at the Nylon pool…WOW, just AMAZING!!

Later that day we met Judith for the first time, and first impressions set the tone for our vacation. We had read in previous reviews that you are treated as a close personal guest by Judith, her family and staff. Now we can confidently say that that was our experience from day one. Very personable and genuinely caring would best describe our experience with Judith and her staff. We were introduced to two great young guys, Damien and Yves, who for a very reasonable rate showed us Tobago, drove to the grocery or just limed at the beach with us. Damien and Yves were very punctual, professional, courteous and friendly. Exactly what we experienced at Bijou des

“A wonderful place with wonderful hosts.”

Everything went smooth - from the booking to the leaving where we got a ride to the airport by the wonderful hostess Judith Gemmet.

We arrived a bit late to the Crown Point airport where Judy had arranged a taxi that picked us up. Since the Bijou des Caraibes has self-contained studios with full kichen facillities the taxi driver stopped at a local supermarket and we picked up some snacks and beer for the evening.

Judith and her husband helped us with pretty much everything - from giving us lif to various beaches and into the crown point area to help finding a good resturant for breakfast (since we didnt shop enough breakfast the first evening).

The Bijou des Caraibes is a gated villa which offers high security with a personal alarm-system for each studio, fully equipped kichenettes, very clean and laundry service. It's in walking distance to the Stone Haven Bay Beach and the Mnt. Irvine golf court. The rooms has pretty much everything you can ask for: Cable TV, AC, Microwave, Phone, etc.

And with Judith as the hostess you will feel like you're at home. Her husband, Yvon, has now added wireless lan with internet so you can chat with your friends and family and use your webcam POOLSIDE. He also takes care of the pool as if it was a child.
