It's been too long overdue since I was meant to write this so here goes. Buzo has never actually let me down. It is the one Italian restaurant in Trinidad that culminates both strong and subtle flavors. When I lived in Trinidad it would be a once a month minimum takeout or go to restaurant as their mushroom pastas, pizzas in addition to even their steak was always exceptionally crafted and delicious. Highly recommend trying the Vigna pizza which cheerfully balances the blue cheese flavor profile with grape and their original Buzo pizza as well. Can't wait to visit again!

Went for my mother’s birthday. My parents and fiancé had the steak and it was the best steak they’ve had locally. I myself am vegetarian and had the tempura portobello mushrooms which were amazing and the ravioli which was so rich. Our waitress was most accommodating, friendly and service on point. The infrastructure itself is modern/rustic and so beautiful.

The Best Italian Cuisine in Port of Spain! This is, without a doubt, my favorite restaurant in Port of Spain! The food is consistently outstanding, especially their pastas and pizzas. One standout dish is their pasta with mushrooms and cream—it’s rich, and flavour! The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it ideal for various occasions, whether it’s a romantic dinner, a casual outing with colleagues, or a special celebration. While the restaurant is on the pricier side, the quality of the food and the overall experience make it well worth the splurge. Recommendation: The service, although friendly and professional, can be a bit slow at times. If they could streamline this, it would elevate the dining experience even further. Pro tip: Make a reservation to secure your spot, especially during peak hours, as it’s a popular choice for both locals and visitors. If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine with a touch of sophistication, this is the place to be!

Buzo is fine dining. The staff is so polite and well-trained. The food is delicious. However, no matter how many dishes I try, my favorite is the Buzo pizza. Im not sure if its their signature dish, but WOW. It's a flat dough pizza without tomato paste, yet smothered in goat cheese and argula leaves. I can eat the whole thing. Lol. The staff actually listens to your needs and can cater to fussy teenagers. One of mine wanted Chicken Alfredo, which was not on the menu, and the chef prepared it. That's great service. I will definitely go back. And I recommend Buzo to everyone who wants a great food experience. Ohhhhh I forgot their desserts. We tried Gelato and affogato. Decadent 🍧🍨🍦🍦

Had my birthday dinner at this restaurant on Saturday night. The food was good, but not amazing. Beautiful ambiance, very friendly and engaging staff.

Above expectations! Went for my birthday. The menu was not pages long but very complete for any preference in Italian food or meats/steaks. Pricing was a bit on the high side especially for steaks. But note the food tastes great. Having eaten at lots of Italian restaurants globally this is top 10 category so hence you get what you pay for. There’s roadside parking plus their own parking lot a few doors down. There’s security at the lot and also among the street for your safety. Big plus on this. The service was not exceptional though. 1 waiter was excellent while another was seemingly forced to be tolerant to us. Lots of waiters and waitresses so you can call on anyone, not just the initial one. Asked where the bathroom was and was guided directly to it. The decor and atmosphere is perfect. Not overdone but elegant and well thought out. Someone had a 2 or 3 year old there and not a peep from the kid. Attentive parents though. Must go for the food, ambience and an overall great experience!

This is one hell of a great great experience. You will not regret your time going there! From the moment that you walk in, you are greeted in a personal, friendly, warm, welcoming manner by the hostess and wait-staff. I was politely guided to my table and the menu provided for me, within a few minutes later I was attended to by my server who asked what I would like to drink and brought me back a drink with Jack Daniels honey that tasted so good I already did not mind spending the money that I knew I was going to spend yet to come. After a few sips, our server returned and asked if we were ready to order our dishes. He was very, very helpful in his suggestion and showed that he understood the menu and had great experience that could be relied upon coming to any new food establishment. When our dishes arrived I was so satisfied with the visual aspect of it that I already felt anticipation building for the taste, and what great wonderful Symphony of taste it was (view pictures). I have absolutely only good review and praise for the preparation of the of the two dishes the taste and textures were Worthy of absolutely every Star that I can give them and I promised myself that I (we) will be back to try yet even more dishes at Buzo. Thank you for making my gf birthday a smashing hit!!!!!

Came with a reunion group (40 of us from various Caribbean islands, US and Canada). Ordered mostly fish or chicken with sides of fried rice, breadfruit casserole, stewed beans, veggies. Everything was delicious, all agreed. Service was great. Right on the ocean in a rustic setting. We had a reservation and ordered ahead (recommended). Highly recommend that you make the trip to Speyside to sample the food. Thank you Jemma

Great local Tobago food. Stewed fish was delicious and breadfruit pie was scrumptious. Good service and reasonable price. Lovely sea views.

It is very tasty, and it is a tree house. Quite expensive but worth trying. Would need to save up, but it would be great to try the lobster. We could not finish the meal, so they boxed up the leftovers to take away. They accept UK credit cards

The drive was well worth it. The scenery is very calming and the breadfruit pie and cucumber salad were unique and delightful. You can easy cover a meal and take dip in the sea right next to the property. You even get one or two birds coming in to keep you company. A great little place for a unique Tobago flavour.

Beautiful views and authentic homecooked trinbagonian dishes served up in a rustic "treehouse" overlooking beautiful views of the sea. Family style meals - order your main/protein and they take care of the rest! Fried rice, callalloo, pies.. all the sides are brought to your table. While some of the food we found to be a bit under seasoned and lacking flavour, the pies definitely did not disappoint and I'd go back just for those! One of the best mac pies I've ever had and cassava pie was amazing! Apparently the breadfruit pie is the real star here and unfortunately it wasn't available when we came, but we weren't let down given how good the other 2 were. Service was friendly and the view were stunning. We listened to the waves and watched pelicans fishing as we waited for our meal, and we would have gone for a swim if the weather was a bit nicer. Overall a great spot to have some local cuisine with a beautiful backdrop, and definitely worth a stop if you come by this side of the island!

Great place for lunch. Best time to enjoy the sea view in this tree house restaurant. Good value local dishes with meals including several sides. Fish and chicken were nice and the lobster ordered by other tables looked amazing.

Real Creole food! So good you’d want to lick the plate! The customer service was really good as well and for food being cooked to order on the spot they bring the food in a good timing. Loved our experience here! Be sure to include on your visit to Tobago! Well worth it!

Went for a birthday dinner with my partner..ambience is lovely.. outdoor seating...lighting gives a very romantic vibe. Food we ordered taste good and wait time was not too long , however I would have liked a more extensive menu..Definitely more chicken options needed. Waiters were very pleasant. Overall not a bad experience.

On entry, Seahorse Restaurant and Bar immediately sets the tone for what feels like a high-class fine dining experience. The ambiance is undeniably beautiful — warm lighting, rustic wooden architecture, and dining under the stars with the soothing sound of waves in the background. It creates an incredibly romantic atmosphere that could rival top-tier coastal restaurants. Unfortunately, while the setting is outstanding, the dining experience itself did not live up to expectations. Service was mediocre, rating about 5/10, and felt inattentive compared to what one would expect from such a premium establishment. The appetizers were fair (6/10), but both the main courses (4/10) and desserts (5/10) were underwhelming, lacking refinement and consistency. The restaurant does offer a kids’ menu, which is a plus for families, but even here the attention to detail fell short — chipped plates were served, detracting from the overall dining experience. Despite being a seemingly busy restaurant with a breathtaking setting, the overall impression was average. Seahorse certainly has the ambiance of a fine dining restaurant, but the food quality and service did not align with its image. With improvements in consistency, service standards, and presentation, it has the potential to truly match its stunning location. Overall Rating: 5/10 – Worth a visit for the atmosphere, but not for the fine dining quality one might expect.

First time visiting the restaurant for dinner and it was a pleasure. Arrived and was promptly greeted and seated in less that 5 minutes. Beautiful ambiance, along with the sounds of sea waves gently crashing as the restaurant is adjacent to the beach. Nice selection of couples seating, children friendly as there were a couple families and even a large group dined. Seated on the upstairs veranda, a warm and cheerful young man was our server for the evening. Tho I can't remember his name, he was quite pleasant and informative on the menu and recommend the perfect cocktails. Food was on point and very timely. Quality and quantity of the appetizers and entrees were well enough that dessert had to be skipped this time. Surely not the last visit along will full recommendations.

Such a romantic setting! My husband and I loved the ambiance, service, food and the dessert !!!! The sound of the waves and the soothing music set the tone for an amazing romantic dinner! Thank you Seahorse Restaurant staff!

Dined here after almost a decade abroad and it is still simply stunning. Fabulous location with the waves breaking in the background.. a seafood crepe so lovely it can bring a tear to your eye and a staff that remembers you by name! Oh and the wine list is almost as decadent as the opportunity to dine under the stars enjoying island breeze?! Yes Sea Horse Inn - you continue to be outstanding. An absolute must visit in Tobago. And the charm of the restaurant continues to beckon us to return… seriously, no matter how far away we may travel, Sea Horse Inn with its ambiance, staff and simply yummy menu - will always be home.

The food and ambiance was phenomenal. Wait staff were very pleasant although we felt rushed. We were constantly told the last order needed to be in the kitchen by 9:30pm. We were even asked to order desserts midway through the meal.

Food was decent. Better than most food places in Tobago but by global standards just above average. Service was good and friendly for the most part.

For food, we tried the pork wontons, the ODA and TSUKI sushi rolls, the SENSHI bowl, and the Teriyaki salmon. The highlights were definitely the pork wontons and the salmon as both were well-seasoned and flavorful. The TSUKI roll was great as well. Everything else was just okay. The shrimp in the Senshi bowl was quite rubbery, and the salmon surprisingly hit the table cold. If you prefer hot entrées, this might not be the best fit. Food: 3/5 As for the atmosphere, the Japanese décor was aesthetically pleasing, but the indoor layout and music could use some improvement. We were seated in a smaller room that felt cramped and poorly lit, and the music was so loud it was difficult to hold a conversation. I’d give the indoor atmosphere 3/5 (though I’d like to try the outdoor seating next time). Service was fine overall, and the staff was pleasant. However, I have to take off one star because my Senshi bowl order was mixed up. I had asked for no onions and no plantain, but still received plantain in my dish. This may have been because the music was so loud the server couldn’t hear me clearly. Service:4/5 Overall, tasty food with a couple of standouts, great drinks, and nice décor but the indoor atmosphere and temperature of the entrées might not be for everyone.

The food and drinks were delicious but the service was a bit too slow for my liking. We enjoyed our meals. The only complaint was the wanton. Everything else was delicious. Highly recommended. 👍🏽

A great place for sushi! The experience here is always enjoyable. Our server Jose was attentive and responsive, he was also extremely knowledgeable about the menu answering questions and giving suggestions. The portions were generous and the sushi bowl was a hit! My one thing is the menu is very limited for non-sushi eaters but it does have a few options. It should also be noted that there is both indoor and outdoor seating but we opted to sit inside. They also have quite a few specials for drinks and sushi so be sure to check them out.

My bestie and I recently had my annual celebratory birthday lunch/dinner at Samurai. First of all, this it was her first time experiencing eating sushi, and well I'm a little more experienced but it was a first at this restaurant. The ambience was picturesque with esthetically pleasing; Grounded in nature, its Japanese based design is simple and yet effective at setting a mood. The service from our host and steward was excellent. We were well attended to and most satisfied with the quality and level of professionalism. Food, oh yes the food! Well, my friend for sure was hesitant at first with all the stigma about raw fish but it's safe to say she's a converted sushi eater and most likely will try it again based on her experience at Samurai. Especially the Crispy Shrimp and Crispy California rolls, they are semi-cooked. I particularly liked the overall experience. The sushi was sumptuous and fulling, and my complimentary birthday ice-cream just topped off the celebration.

*Disappointing Experience at Samurai* I visited Samurai expecting to enjoy good Japanese food, but unfortunately, the service was a complete disaster. Despite having available tables inside the restaurant, we were seated outside, where we noticed a spider web on the lamp above our table. The staff was unfriendly and lacked communication. *Issues with the order and service* We had the misfortune of being attended by 5 different staff members, which added to the chaos. We ordered passion fruit juice, but they didn't have it. Then, we ordered two pineapple juices and one cranberry juice, but they brought one pineapple juice and a beer that we didn't order. The sushi rolls and ramen arrived at different times, making the experience even more uncomfortable. To make matters worse, the sushi arrived without utensils, sauce, or napkins. *Lack of attention* When it started raining, no one approached us to ask if we were okay. The waitress showed a unpleasant attitude and there was no effective communication. *The food, the only positive* Although the food was tasty, the poor service ruined the entire experience. We didn't deserve that treatment, especially considering we paid for our food. *Conclusion* My experience at Samurai was very bad. It seems that the treatment depends on the person's appearance. I hope they improve their service to offer a more pleasant experience to their customers. *Rating:* 1/5 stars

Had a Godzilla roll. It was disappointing. For rolls that will have teriyaki sauce/ or garlic sauce, at least they can provide a small packet for to go orders. Only soy sauce was given and I don’t really eat soy sauce. The roll on the whole was mid. Wouldn’t purchase again.

I had a really good time here. It was a wonderful new experience for me. The drink that I ordered (cucumber lemonade with mint) was fantastic. The only issue I had was the Miso soup because it was brought to me when it was warm. I ordered the chicken curry nanban noodles in a bowl and it was good. It really was a curry dish. The service at the restaurant was really nice, the waiter and waitress who served me were very courteous a d responsive. I really appreciated their services. The atmosphere was remarkably good, a singer was brought in and he brought wonderful vibes by singing some old school and new school jams mostly blues and indie rock. Samurai restaurant is a good place to go and I would recommend it because of their professionalism and memorable setting.

Each time I visit Tobago I usually go eat at La Cantina. However this time I found the pizzas a bit tasteless. At least service was good and I was happy with my drinks. I got a Sorel Rhum Punch and a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. Until next time la Cantina.

Let's start by saying they have the Best Italian Pizzas by Far.... The restaurant can definitely do with some upgrade to uplift the Ambiance and their Service was extremely slow. Had to wait a little bit long for simple things like beers. But overall it's always a good experience at La Cantina Tobago.

The food and service is always exceptional when I go to la cantina. However the outdoor section comes with tiny friends that buzz around your food and tried to suck your blood. From mosquitoes, moths to flies. They had it. Next time I am walking with my bug repellant. The food was soooooo great I didn't even get a chance to take a pic. I just snapped the drinks.

It was my first time visiting Tobago with my partner, and we decided to stop by La Cantina — and honestly, I was amazed! From start to finish, it was a 10/10 experience. The pizzas were absolutely delicious, each one full of flavor and cooked to perfection. The staff were some of the friendliest I’ve ever met — so welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. I truly believe the gentleman who attended to us was the manager, and if so, he’s doing an excellent job. His professionalism and warmth made the whole dining experience unforgettable. I’d recommend La Cantina to anyone visiting Tobago — it’s one of those places that leaves you smiling long after you’ve left. I was wowed, and I can’t wait to go back! 💕🍕🌴

La Cantina has a nice and casual ambiance and friendly staff, but I found the pizza to be just average. The ingredients seemed okay, but the flavor and texture didn’t quite stand out compared to other places. Ingredients a bit sparse. It's a decent spot if you’re in the area. Parking is available, and there are outdoor and indoor dining options

Service and pizza quality have definitely dropped since management change. The best pizza in Tobago still. Would recommend but it's not as it used to be long ago.

Wanted a milkshake and La Cantina came up as an option in the Store Bay area (Cones and Coffee was closed..). Can't rate their pizza even though that's their main offering, but milkshake was a disappointment. Too watery to be considered an ice cream based product. Chocolate tasted okay, but Papa Smurf you definitely can skip...

I had lunch here. It's regular Indian food but more expensive and the cocktail drinks tasted like there wasn't any alcohol in them. The dessert was delicious and I loved the presentation! I would say the food isn't worth it, but I'm willing to return to try the afternoon tea. Ambience is lovely and service was good.

You walk into an experience! Some very attentive and knowledgeable staff. Interaction from the door with the young lady was note worthy. Food is reasonably priced for the level of culinary art tou received on your plate. We were offered a sort of pre appetizer as we waited on our orders. The menu does a great job of explaining most meal items and you can also ask questions. They have a few tasting options on the menu which is awesome. The Mint Chutney is divine! 2 person table was a bit tiny but the servers handled well. My partner and I were both satisfied with our meals. Meals are visually impactful so is the overall space. Edible Flowers and beautiful colours on every plate! Ambience was taken up a notch with live violin! If I had to nitpick my only wish was that the naan was served in a way that better kept its freshness.

Top of the line, flavorful cuisine. Food took a while to appear but it was worth the wait. My only disappointment was the dessert. It fell short of my high expectations after such a sumptuous meal.

The food was delicious! Authentic Indian food that can only be found in Trinidad and Tobago. It was nice to have a security guard direct us and escort us to our parking area. The same security guard was also there when we exited the restaurant. We try a variety of items on their menu and our children also and enjoyed the experience. They also have live music. The food is excellent !

The Meena House is the epitome of elegance and classy dining. The service is magnificent, the staff is extremely pleasant and efficient. The ambience is amazing. Will definitely visit again and recommend.

You want an upscale date night for you and hubby. Definitely go here. The food was amazing!!!!

Authentic Indian food. Great ambiance and presentation of food. Service was slow for a week night.

Had the coconut cheesecake here years ago and went back recently for lunch. Hands down the best food I had in Tobago, and the cheesecake still ranks as my #1. Service and ambience is excellent.

We enjoyed out night here. The food is top tier and worthy of prestigious food awards. For appetizers we had callaloo soup & jerk fish with plantains. Main courses were the Barrel eye fish with creole sauce and Barracuda fish with butter & garlic sauce. Both served with ochra rice and seasonal vegetables. For dessert we shared cheese caked topped with coconut flakes...yum. The portions were more than enough. $200 US for a party of 3 that also includes drinks. 2/3 had Stag Beers while the other opted for juice. Our host of the night who we believe to be the owner (we didn't ask) was attentive and very pleasant. She was also accommodating and entertaining. That same energy was shared with other guests as well. We shall return.

The food was excellent, fresh, and well-prepared. The service was good, and the lovely veranda provided welcome respite from the afternoon sun. We will definitely return.

Our last lunch in Tobago at The Fish Pot was the perfect send-off! We couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the first bite of their freshly prepared hamburgers, we knew we were in for something special. The fish with pasta, topped with an unforgettable alfredo sauce, was a highlight – genuinely a "best I've tasted" moment. The service was a joy, attentive without being intrusive, and the restaurant's relaxed atmosphere, enhanced by the gentle sea breeze, made for an idyllic lunch setting. Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy a meal at The Fish Pot; it's a must-try for both lunch and dinner!

I had such a wonderful lunch with my husband. Customer service was top notch. It was spotlessly clean and well aerated , with a pleasant view. Staff came on to check on us if we needed anything. The food was well presented and delicious . Highly recommend this place.

Excellent food, my wife and I came here based off of a recommendation from my sister. I had the barracuda & my wife had the steak. Hands down some of the best food in Tobago.

Quaint place. The staff is engaging and friendly. It has an open feeling with a clear view of the outdoors. The food is quite good with reasonable portions.

We spontaneously decided to have lunch at this restaurant. It was the right decision. Our waiter was very friendly and patient with our group of 8 adults. We ordered different meals and all was very good and reasonably priced. A restaurant I will certainly return to in the future.

The first time dining here was good. We will go back. Parking was ok, busy shopping center. There is no restroom within the restaurant, which is not ideal (have to wall down to a shared RR). The restaurant was well decorated and clean. Seat yourself style. The food portions were great. Green sauce was too sweet, but red and white were tasty. Kids' meals were a great value. The main negative was that their tortillas didn't taste fresh (kinda dry).

Food was tasty but service was a bit lackluster. Our drinks were empty the entire time unless we asked for refills and we were brought two bowls of chips and salsa for 8 people which was gone in just a few minutes and again we weren’t brought more until we asked. This place looks like a fast service restaurant but you actually are seated and waited on. Food was good, nothing to write home about.

The food was super excellent. Great taste, texture, flavor, and the super delicious. The store was very clean, service was outstanding! Super friendly too. All I can is WOW... this restaurant has the wow factor! I loved it! The food was exquisite and delicious! It's hard to find a restaurant like this even in Texas. I have posting reviews for awhile now and I can say big five for this restaurant. Thank you!

For Mexican food in St. George, this place wasn’t too bad. They have some of the typical entrees that you might expect at most Mexican restaurants. There is a lot of seating, including outdoor shaded seating. The staff seemed eager to seat us and take our order, which was great. I wouldn’t say it’s the best, but definitely decent dishes to eat. It appeared to be about $15-$20/person based on the menu. I would try this place again.

The food came quick, great service, delicious chips and salsa, and the best white/queso sauce I have ever tasted in this town. I would eat here again. We got the Carne Asada fries, Torta, Chile Relleno, and Chimichanga.

This place was awesome. Tony was great and took great care of us. The kids menu was perfect. They had tons of gluten free options. The chips are even fried in a separate fryer. Would 100% recommend!

The entire table with side dishes were stone cold, garlic bread hard as a crouton, mushrooms that are supposed to be eaten hot are like they are straight out the fridge, the meats were all seasoned the same so they tasted the same just different textures.. some had no salt while others were over salty like the ocean there was no inbetween, the only meat I will give as amazing is the bacon wrapped chicken. Good experience to go once, the atmosphere is very very very very nice with live music playing when i went and the service was impeccable however i will not be returning as I can get more flavor and higher quality food on the avenue.

There's a wide variety of side dishes and salads. The meat selection includes steak cuts, lamb, chicken and sausages. The customer service was excellent, the staff members were friendly and helpful. This restaurant is great for those that have a big appetite and can handle loads of meat being served in intervals sizzling off the grill. The drinks were also great and I loved their carrot cake. Definitely recommend for a birthday or special occasion. The restaurant week special was a steal of a deal.

Great ambience, great service, the food was delicious some meats are a bit salty but most were on point and cooked just how you prefer it. Servers were very polite and courteous. The chefs came out to ensure everything was to our liking. The drinks were also well made and the deserts are delicious. They were also very accommodating for kids. The prices are high, as to be expected of places of this caliber.

It was amazing 10/10 And in my opinion I didn't find some meats to taste to my liking but it was unbelievably great overall

Tonight is our last night in Trinidad, we decided to go eat at Texas De Brazil. We are here celebrating our anniversary. It was myself, my husband and our friend Sherwin. It was his first time so, you know, he was in for a treat. 🙂 From the moment, we walked in the door, we were given excellent service. The manager, Christian, came up to greet us and made sure we were ready to be seated. Once, at the table, our server Joseph was very kind, knowledgeable and served us promptly. He explained to Sherwin, how the process works and went to get our drink orders. The food was delicious, hot and fresh. Christian is a true gentleman and assisted me with my plate and pulled out my chair. During the course of dinner our anniversary was mentioned and that it was our first time here. The service became even better. 🙂 We received Champagne and wonderful well wishes. They took wonderful care of us. Christian was so kind to give us a tour of Rizzoni's Italian restaurant below. It is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for making our last night in Trinidad one of the best. 🙂

It was my first time and my best restaurant experience for this year so far... great service ,great atmosphere and good food..... Fully recommended for all to try atleast once...

Staff are great - very attentive and courteous - and food was really good!

Whenever I come to Tobago, I make it a point to come to Kariwak at least for breakfast. The home made yogurt and fried fish with toast are my favorites and their cocoa tea is simply the BEST. Also, if you’re looking to have a solo retreat in nature but want to be steps away from the action in Crown Point, I highly recommend their garden rooms, which are quiet and put you in direct contact with the plants. The free yoga offering is a nice touch and the staff are all really lovely humans. It’s a 5 - 10 minute walk from the airport and about a 15 minute walk to all the restaurants in Crown Point so there’s no real need to rent a car unless you want to explore further afield.

We visited this charming little spot twice, first for early evening drinks, which were excellent. We returned the next day for breakfast, which was just okay, with the portions on the smaller side, though the service was good. All in all, we’d definitely return for drinks and would be open to trying lunch or dinner. The space is beautiful, so we’re also curious to see what the rooms are like, it may make for an interesting stay. They take cards and cash.

A beautiful Oasis in the midst of a commercial tourist hub. Rooms have a great balance of rustic and more standard hotel room fittings. The grounds are beautiful and give an island comfort. The restaurant has great ambience, the dinner menu wasn't intimidating but quite encouraging. The Fish meal we had was quite delicious, simple but well put together ingredients. The Iced Tea is a must try! The slice of Spice Cake was also very pleasant. My only complaint was that the meal was too expensive especially considering portion sizes. Feeling like I was being made to pay for the ambience and brand of the establishment.

Thee best costumer service , I arrived early at 1030am, check in was at 2pm and they had the room ready for me at 1055am . Really good complimentary breakfast , beautiful real wood huts , good wi fi and free yoga in the morning and free shuttles . 3rd time here and I will be back . Recommend to all thank you Kariwak.

We were very disappointed by our experience. We had first booked a trip on Expedia in April but had to postpone as I got sick. We were able to get all other bookings rescheduled free of cost but this wasn't possible at Kariwak as it was through Expedia. We contacted them to see if we could get a discounted rebooking directly. They offered a very small discount for our trip in May. We ended up booking the stay. When we arrived we were disappointed that they weren't even able to give us the Garden room which we had first booked for in April. When your hotel is mostly empty, it would have been a good gesture to offer the better room for guests who had paid twice. Not necessary but a good gesture. The hospitality at the hotel seemed very fake and not welcoming. Like nobody actually wanted to work there. Our experience only got worse after. While the room and surroundings were beautiful, places where they cost cut were very visible to see. 1. They don't have shampoo offered in the rooms. When we asked for it, they only said that they never give shampoo. In a beach town, you need shampoo, especially when you have a pool in the hotel. 2. What's even worse is that they only give you free water bottles when you check in. Not for any other day you've booked. I've never seen that practice anywhere else. 3. Their "free" breakfast was sooo bad. The crispy tuna was bland and then there's toast and some yoghurt+granola. No variety, no self-serve option. For the amount you pay, it's not worth it. 4. They don't have free coffee sachets in the rooms. And the last thing that really annoyed us was that they have this ledge above the bed that stops you from sitting up in bed. We whacked our heads on it multiple times when we were going to lie down. It's a health hazard. Overall, it's just better to book a stay in an apartment nearby than spend to stay here.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Kariwak. The location is quite convenient to the Airport, the beach and other restaurants and businesses. Kariwak also offers shuttle service to the beach. Kariwak is very beautiful both in the rooms and outside. The AC was very powerful, rooms were clean and no complaints with the water pressure. Outside was very relaxing, beautiful for taking pictures or relaxing by the pool or jacuzzi. They also have yoga and massages. The customer service was excellent. From Ingrid who picked up my family and I at the Airport. Josh our handsome bartender who was quite accommodating for breakfast and lunch. A very special hats off to Joel the all rounder who made our stay even more memorable accommodating my niece on her special day, organizing the staff to sing Happy Birthday for her 😁. Thank you Kariwak, we'll definitely be back.

My stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The rooms were spacious and beautiful, the compound was clean and well-kept. I don’t necessarily have an issue with the hotel not providing free teas and coffees in bedrooms because their prices are affordable and you can avail yourself to such items at the hotel restaurant for free. There is an area to relax in the garden with hammocks with the jacuzzi/pool nearby. The breakfast was decent, it included fish, eggs, toast, fruit, yoghurt and granola. The only criticism I have is that the hotel staff DO NOT answer the telephone/landline. Despite this, the staff members that I encountered and met were super helpful, kind, welcoming and warm. They extended themselves to assist and accommodate us as best as they could. I would definitely return again.

Quick and efficient. My mom required assistance and they were great to her. She was very happy. She was had a Trini passport. I have a US passport and I came through very quickly, no problems coming into Trinidad 🇹🇹 Security was very good about cars picking folks up. They don’t stress you out like they can sometimes at JFK. I’ll visit Piarco again. 🤪

I’ve traveled through Piarco International Airport on many occasions and here’s what you can expect. The airport offers paid parking and Wi-Fi, though the coverage isn’t available in all areas. Immigration and customs can sometimes take a bit of time, but once you’re through, the waiting areas are comfortable and well-equipped with restrooms and water fountains for refilling bottles. It’s wise to head to the boarding area a bit earlier, as security lines can get long. Duty free shopping is a bit pricey, but you can find some cost effective alcohol options. The airport also has a variety of dining options like Rituals, KFC, Royal Castle, Subway, Starbucks, and souvenir shops.

If “slow” was an Olympic event, POS Airport would take gold every time. The airport itself is clean, well-organized, with plenty of duty-free shopping, food, and beverages—and that’s where the positives end. This is after travelling here 3 times. Getting through this airport is painfully inefficient. It took me two hours just to get from the plane to outside the airport. Everything and everyone moved at a crawl, with no clear reason why. And don’t get me started on check-in for departure—Lord Jesus, it felt like I was walking backwards the entire time. Trinidad, you must do better. Airports are the first impression for visitors and the last memory for returning customers, and right now the experience leaves much to be desired...

Super-efficient and well-run airport. Toronto Pearson airport should learn from this airport

This is one of the airport I have seen that fast food restaurants are not hard to spot. From Starbucks to local multiple restaurants. Domestic gates are always busy. International gates are so quiet. It's like passengers comes get on flights then nobody but downstairs at the domestic gates is very busy. Domestic flights are 24hrs no closing which I like. When I had 22hrs layover at this airport. I literally stayed at the airport no joke. Will I do that again. Yes!...one thing though, if you come early for your international flight you have to wait 2hrs close to international flight departure then you can be allowed to go through security (which just 2 steps away from boarding gates) then you can go to the gates and board the international flight. Upstairs is clean, quiet, much like no fun but downstairs now that's where u get all the actions... Lol...Also there are little shop by each gates so you can buy some souvenirs before u get on the flight. Now that's business at it's best.

Very clean airport. This is Caribbean airlines HUB. Even though you go through 2 security check points, you are randomly pulled out of the line once your destination is international. I was there long enough to see them not treat Caribbean destination travelers the same way. I mean full body pat down and rummaging through your carry on. I wish this airport had more restaurants. There are a few coffee shops and souvenir shops. Parking is a nightmare, it doesn’t matter what day it is or what time of the day it is. The roads surrounding the airport is abysmal. Good luck!

A beautiful airport — to depart from, midday, when there’s hardly any flights. Fast and friendly check-in, efficient security. Arriving however in the afternoon was a different story. XXL lines, poor signage for transit passengers and the staff navigating the lines show very different treatment to crew/officials than to regular visitors. Since international arrivals need to complete paperwork (both sides) it’s a slow and tedious process. Lots of shopping opportunities— for arrivals and departures. Plenty of eateries before and after security too. Taxis operate at fixed rates and there’s even a food court.

On arrival into Tobago, passport control took 1.5 hours, and our suitcases still weren’t out for another half an hour after that. When departing, you queue for bag drop and security outside in the heat. I personally found security brisk and rude. Then we were told we couldn’t even buy water as the flight was already boarding, despite there being close to 100 people in the security queue for the same flight behind us. I hope the new airport is an improvement as it was a shame to start and end our wonderful time in Tobago with this experience

Compared to some other smaller airports in the Caribbean, this airport is a lot better one. It had a food court with several choices before the security and one small shop after the security, self check in kiosks, and rental car return offices conveniently located right next door to the airport building. The security screening was well organized and efficient. I only had to take off my bangles. All airport employees and Caribbean airlines people were friendly and professional. Travelers should allow extra time to travel as delays seem to be common.

Currently sat in departure lounge and there are two shops. Duty free with half empty shelves and products have been marked up so much I might aswell go home a buy it. The other shop that sells food and drinks is closed!!! Its 4.30pm on a Friday and the departure lounge is busy with hungry and thirsty travellers. Tells you all you need to know about folks in tobago imo

Small airport as expected with minimal food and comfort accommodations. They make you take out ALL your cables, plugs, phones, cameras etc and some lady yelled at me for going to the disabled bathroom while boarding was ongoing. Keep in mind no disabled person was anywhere in sight. That was her job...

It's small and check-in is sort of outdoors, curbside. It's clean and the staff is very friendly. There's a few restaurants across the street a bank also. Taxis are available right outside on the curb. The waiting room is clean. Not a bad airport at all...it has a tropical feel

Tobago A Unique Social Vacation Experience – part 1 Looking for a different vacation experience where there are no maddening hordes of tourist and mega resorts, then the Caribbean island of Tobago may be the destination for you.  Tobago is part of a twin island nation of Trinidad & Tobago with Trinidad being main island  and location of the country’s capital.  This island is  not overdeveloped and this is something positive, who said skyscrapers and developed urban landscape makes a good society and pleasant place to live or visit.  If locals are not happy with their lives then tourist will not have a memorable social interaction with them and, after all is this social interaction the key to a great vacation experience, ie a heartfelt experience. As a comparison I have visited Bahamas and their main island is so built up with mega resorts, its like disneyland.  As much as 5 mega cruise ships at once arrive each morning and the island is overrun with tourist, this makes the local feel isolated and, additionally most local rarely profit from this as big business and corporations make most of the money.  The atmosphere is socially cold and the locals are no more than a display for the tourists and, there is very little social interaction with locals, its all a very orchestrated amusement park sort of situation. On the underhand, Tobago has smaller scale hotels and quite a large number of guest houses, bed & breakfast or apartments for rent.  Locals play a large part in providing services and catering to the visitors to the island such as,  ground transportation/tours, kite-boarding and beach activity rentals, adventure guides and restaurants.  The restaurants here are of the mom and pop types family run offering a  delicious dining experience with character of the owners and staff, and  of course the restauranteurs  will be glad to be social with you. The opinions and sentiment expressed in this article are based  on positive feedback from foreigners who visited Tobago and, naturally as Trinidadian I want to convey one of these affirmatory stories from  my Ukrainian friend. I had recommended Tobago to my Ukrainian friend as a new destination for his solo kite boarding trip and here is his experience.  After exiting the Tobago airport he started walking, loaded with his kite-board and luggage,  towards some nearby guesthouses which he discovered beforehand back home online.  A local man stopped his car to greet him and,  no doubt the local must have sensed the frustration in my friend who was lugging heavy baggage’s and trying to find an affordable lodgings.  After some good rapport the local offered to drive him and show some potential lodgings near the area.  The local man went above and beyond to be helpful and my friend eventually located a suitable room in a guesthouse within walking distance to the famous pigeon point beach. The local before leaving invited my friend to a BBQ party taking place later that week.  It was this social interaction with locals that re-occured throughout his stay in Tobago. My friend made many comparisons to Ukrainian village life and Tobago living.  If you are open to rapport, respectful and friendly, you will meet many people that will help make your stay enjoyable. Stay tuned for part 2...

Pleasant environment. Short walk from check in to gates. Staff and security are very welcoming
