TOBAGO Have spent 5 nights at this otherwise good hotel with friendly staff. Last day I saw that they have turtles in a very small pool/yard under the stairs to the 1st floor. This is directly against good animal ethics and rhymes very badly with the protection of turtles on the island in general. I will contact our travelagency and hopefully help to stop this!

We enjoyed our stay at this Resort. From our welcome to the service. The manager was very nice, warm and helpful. The room that was initially booked wasn't to our liking for the occasion...birthday/anniversary. The host upgraded us to a 1st class view and we even got birthday balloons and a bottle of wine. There was also a jacuzzi for us to use where it's facing the beach.These units are fully equipped so you can cook or bake if you wish to. There's a mini mart and ice cream shop etc in walking distance. This resort is right on the beach so you can go swimming everyday.We definitely be back.

This hotel have 6-7 turtles in a small dark container with a small amount of water and some dirty rocks. This is not OK! You can se beautiful turtles every where on this island. So why will you keep these poor animals in a small prison making their life a living hell. The goldfishes doesn’t have a great life either. Unfortunately this ruined an otherwise really nice stay with friendly and helpful staff. I will not return to this hotel, nor will my friends or anybody who appreciate wild life and nature. Nor those who are against animal cruelty!!! Not before the turtles are brought back to their natural habitat or to a place with suitable conditions. Please take actions and give these turtle their life back.

We just spent two wonderful weeks at the naturalist!2 adults and 2 children under 6. Our room was small but had everything we needed. It was cleaned daily and had a great little kitchen. We cooked all our meals except breakfast either in the kitchen or on the grill outside. We chose to bring and eat our meals in the common area. The included breakfast every morning was a real treat! We were steps from the beach. We will be back for sure!

Once you don't ever have to deal directly with Ancil, Naturalist is a great stay. If you ever had the unfortunate circumstance to have interacted with that individual I sympathize. Would have given 5 stars if my booking experience wasn't ruined by that rude and disgusting individual. Not sure if he treats all his guests in that deplorable manner, or reserves that attitude for Trinis only. Also not sure if he's the owner or a manager, nor do I care.. to anyone looking to book, call the front desk staff they are most friendly and the only saving grace in this review together with the comfortable and clean room.

Review of Hotel X:My experience at Hotel X was unfortunately far from satisfactory. We had booked a room with a sea view and received confirmation of our booking, but upon arrival at the hotel, we were assigned a room overlooking the garden instead. The staff claimed that this was the only available room for the price range we had paid for.What exacerbated our experience was primarily the unfriendly attitude of the staff throughout our stay. We did not feel welcomed or well taken care of. Additionally, the cleaning staff missed cleaning our room several times during our stay, making our experience even more inconvenient.In summary, despite having expectations based on the confirmed booking of a room with a sea view, we were disappointed not to receive it and by the unfriendly service from the staff. I would not recommend Hotel to other travelers.

Always a special visit when we come here. Ancle is such a great host, always there if you need him. The views of this beautiful little village are amazing. I love cooking meals in my room while gazing at the ocean n sand right at my back door. My little piece of paradise

I spent 5 perfect days with my family (8 people) at Naturalist. We stayed at Wahoo, Snapper and King Fish. Wahoo has a hot tub that we used every night. It has a beautiful view and is very private. The view from the patio is amazing! We watched the fishermen and the beautiful sea. The King Fish condo has an outdoor shower and a bird feeder on the patio. We saw 10 species of hummingbirds. Wonderful. Rooms are clean, daily housekeeping. Breakfast was very good. The owner Ancle is very helpful. If you like to snorkel, swim behind the reef on the right side. There is a small, deserted beach and lots of coral and fish. If you are not a good swimmer, you can walk there by the path past the church up in Castara. I highly recommend the Naturalist Beach Resort. Thanks Ancle.
