Tropikist is an excellent hotel. First, the entire staff, from management to security to the wait staff, is accommodating and considerate. Malaika Taylor, the guest relations administrator, is efficient and helpful. Although the flights to Tobago are at strange and inconvenient times, the hotel staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and pleasant.
Second, our room faced the ocean, allowing us to enjoy the soothing sound of the waves. The view was fantastic; one unique aspect of Tobago is the abundance of birds. Tropikist features lush greenery, with trees teeming with thousands of birds, creating a symphony of beautiful sounds. The combination of the waves and the birds produced an unbelievably soothing soundtrack to our stay.
The food was delightful. It wasn't your typical all-inclusive salad bar; while the selection was more petite, everything was fresh and flavorful, including unique offerings like soups and homemade bread.
There were a few cabanas on the beach, where we spent some time. Although the beach was small, it was adequate. My wife didn't enjoy it much due to the waves, so we visited a public beach just a seven-minute walk away. There, we found shops and places renting chairs and beach umbrellas.
Overall, if you're looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation, Tropikist is the perfect choice.
