Dolphin Boutique Villa is your Caribbean home from home, tucked away in a secluded spot across from a uniquely unspoilt beach in upscale Bacolet Point. This stylish, spacious villa, full of the vibrant colours of the Caribbean, has a garden with so many lovely flowers -which makes it perfect for bird-watching-that passers-by ask to take photos.

Once you arrive at Dolphin Villa you will receive a warm welcome from the Tobagonian manager who manages the villa. As you listen to the gentle plashing of the waves and marvel at the sight of hummingbirds and other amazing birds (Tobago has more species than square miles), your cares will be forgotten. Now you are ready to experience the laid-back island vibes and immeasurable beauty of the place.

Chill by the 41' pool, relax on cushioned loungers while watching hummingbirds enjoy the Cape honeysuckle and butterflies fluttering round the zinnias; or just hang out in the hammock, swaying gently to the sound of the surf.

The hustle & bustle of city life is forgotten. No need to rush to the shops. You can book dinner for the first evening; The manager/ chef's fish is legendary (he buys it the same day off a boat at Pigeon Point),so is his red bean stew! Alternatively you can pop to the nearby Havana Bistro, or prepare for yourselves in the huge, superbly equipped, kitchen

Slip into the pool after dark and marvel at the stars and the fire flies. It is 3 minutes to the beach where from March to September you can look for leatherback turtles that nest on Minister Bay beach.. Back from the beach, the Hibiscus room's massage shower will prepare you for a perfect night's sleep.. Next morning wake to the sound of the sea and the birds. An early morning walk on the beach close by is a favourite way to start the day. Relax by the pool all day. Watch the plasma TV or listen to the music system, which has I Pod docking and flash drive so you can enjoy your own music, while sea breezes waft into the villa. Or arrange trips to bird-watch, to the rain-forest, on a glass-bottom boat, or a deep-sea boating expedition-all with the manager's help. No mean angler,as a young man he crewed on a boat that caught a record-breaking Marlin. One group of guests from New Mexico not only marvelled at the relatively cheap cost of deep-sea fishing, but caught 12 Tuna in only 4 hours.

Alternatively, you can enjoy an active life; a round of golf or scuba-diving followed by a beach party, or taste the local night life; or just chill at one of the many fabulous beaches, enjoy a local dish or two, and then swim or snorkel to your heart's content.

Determined to make you fall in love with his beloved island, the manager will do all he can to make you comfortable. Attention is paid to the little things that matter; flowers in your room, candles, coolers, even a sewing kit. Nothing is too much for him- he will do as much or as little as you wish- help with car hire if you want a small run-around , show you the beach, accompany you around on the first day if you would like that. He can advise on the best places to visit and where to eat, and will buy in groceries ready for when you arrive.

Why not come and experience Carnival, or goat and crab races at Easter? There are fishing tournaments, yacht and power boat races to enjoy.Or just stay home by the huge pool and bask in the sun to the sound of the waves and the birds? Or chill while you enjoy the Smart TV.

Reflexology,aromatherapy massage, or other therapies can be arranged for you to enjoy at the villa. After so much pampering, will you ever want to go home?

Owner's reply:
I was delighted to read that you had a fabulous holiday in a tiny piece of paradise and that you really recommend my lovely villa. I was somewhat perplexed by your comment that it was too hot to cook in the kitchen, as there are ceiling & wall fans as well as air-conditioning. What a shame that you thought the fans in the lounge were just circulating hot air-there is usually a breeze from the sea, which wafts through the front double doors when they are open (mosquito doors prevent any unwanted mozzies, even at night) & straight through to the pool at the back. The manager was very pleased that you said you hadn't had such a laid back holiday ever, as he goes to immense trouble to ensure that everything is perfect for guests.

Thankyou Linda for going to the trouble of writing a review 4 months after you stayed!

It's so easy to put one's holiday behind one-but you went the extra mile to make us feel that we had done a good job. Looking forward to seeing you again some time. Marilyn and Kelvin

Very delighted to hear that you loved your holiday at Dolphin Villa. I was especially pleased to see you refer to our isolated and beautiful beach as 'a perfect Caribbean wonderland'. That's just how I feel about it, with all its wildlife and the striking colours of the light at different times of day. Also thrilled that you enjoyed your trip with Newton George. He is a very humble man, despite his international reputation. We can't wait to welcome you back to Dolphin Villa. Best wishes, Marilyn and Kelvin
