Turtle Beach by Rex Resorts, Tobago

We visited the Turtle Baech Resort from 17 - 24 May 2008. Before going, I had read some of the feedback on the web and was a wee bit worried. BUT......our experience was absolutley wonderful. The rooms were very clean, the bathrooms tired, but everything worked well. The food was splendid and the views from the rooms, to die for. The beach was clean, sea bathing safe and most enjoyable and we were fortunate enough to see turtles coming up to lay their eggs at night. The hotel staff, and indeed everyone we met on Tobago (both visitors and residents) were great people, so polite and friendly with interesting stories. We would go back to the island and the hotel again and again, if we could. Every part of the week and the environment made it a very special holiday to remember with great pleasure.

This was a fantastic holiday!The staff was so nice and so friendly which made the holiday more relaxing, we went here lastyear for 2 weeks in september 2007 we also got marreid over here it was very special.We were also very lucky to see some little baby turtles coming out of the sand which was so amazing.The beach was very private and very relaxing the local peopl were very nice too!I think this would suite any couples, over all this holiday was fantastic and we couldnt of wished for a better place to get married we are hopefully going back to the same place next year for our wedding anniversary.

visted turtle beach 8.03.08 to the 22nd 03.We had a ball.Ok the hotel ineeds a coat of paint but the beach is great.Saw 4 turtle laying there eggs on the beach.The staff have alot to put up with as Rex resort will not spend the money on the hotel so they get the back lash from those guest who want 5star at three star prices.I loved it,the food was good and hot at what ever time you went into the restuarant,which i have never had at any other alinclusive hotel I`ve stayed at in the world.You must have a pair of shoes made by henry who is on the main beech if you do tell miss tian send her love and best wishes.There is a non smoking policy in operation,but you can smoke by the beach wall on the far side of the pool.These people also run the turtle watch who make surer the turtle are safe on the beach when they lay their eggs and protect them form the hunters who still eat and use the shell,most add that these people are not from tobago.Frankie, smithy an daryal are just a few who care about their island.Go and enjoy but if not happy remember it is not the staff fault but rex resorts for not spending the money on the hotel.I will be going back soon as Iam missing the place and people already.Sunday school outing is a must .Not the sunday school we know this is in Bucco.the best bar for music is just up the hill that if the disco to much.Could go on for ever so I `ll finsh now .

We stayed at this hotel during the first two weeks in May 07. It is comfortable. The staff are friendly and helpful. The location is marvellous and we were fortunate to see two leather back turtles laying their eggs right on the beach. The food is good with a good variety using mainly local produce. The decor is a bit tired and we were told it was to be redecorated this summer. The staff are extremely honest. When I lost my engagement ring on the day of my departure, I reported it to the reception and to the Housekeeper, thinking it was probably gone for good. A few days after my return home I had a email from the Hotel saying that a guest had handed in my ring. Fortunately we have relatives living on the island who were coming to England the next week and they were able to collect it. I wonder how many hotels in UK have such honest staff?
