Tobago never disappoints and neither did the Mahogany Villa. It was exactly as advertised, although it far exceeded expectations. It is located about 15 minutes from the airport, is close to several grocery stores, fruit stands, restaurants, bank machines and a 10 minute walk across the golf course to the closest beach. A rental car is recommended.
It is a quiet gated property of 5 villas, with beautifully maintained grounds and a shared pool large enough to swim laps. The villa also has a small plunge pool by the verandah.
The villa itself is very well equipped, with an open style main floor with a large well stocked kitchen. There is a beautiful large master bedroom on the main floor with 2 well appointed bedrooms upstairs, all with ensuite bathrooms. Two sets of large glass double doors open from the inside to a wonderful covered verandah that looks out onto the golf course. It was nicely furnished with a dining table, comfortable loungers, chairs and my favorite, a hammock. We ate all our meals and downed a few rum punches out there, while enjoying the sunset over the golf course.
There were 2 sets of golf clubs made available to us, which we made good use of and enjoyed many hours on the neighbouring golf course.
Mt Irvine beach and Grafton Beach are both closeby. There are so many wonderful places to visit on the island, and many activities available for all ages and interests.
Liz, the property manager, was extremely attentive, and was available to make our stay as perfect as possible, only a phone call away. Germaine, the housekeeper, did a wonderful job looking after the house. Wayne, security and groundskeeper, was on the property every night and part of each day. The staff were very friendly and helpful with anything we needed.
If you are looking for a low key get-away, this is it. We were there for a month, time went too quickly and it was very difficult to leave…… a great holiday!!!
