This hotel is the sister hotel of Bacolet Beach Hotel and sits on top of a little hill. Each room overlooks the sea and boasts old French plantation architecture. There is a 24 hour infinity pool - not massive but a decent size for chilling out with a glass of wine. A short 1 minute walk from the pool takes... More

I booked this hotel online for the "Tobago Jazz experience" in Tobago which was a blast! The hotel itself however was extremely disappointing. Far from what the online photos depict, the hotel seems to be run by people who have no idea how to run a hotel. Check in time is 1 pm and I arrived at the hotel at... More

A quiet, old fashioned retreat which would particularly appeal to the romantically inclined and those seeking peace and tranquillity. It has a charm all of its own and much to offer besides. It shares facilities with the Bacolet Beach Club, a more modern development on the seaward side of the quiet coastal road, and so Half Moon Blue is set... More

I stayed here with my wife in January 2013. We chose this hotel because of the low price, however we learned quickly that you get what you pay for. Based on the other reviews its true that this hotel is very far from any of the attractions such as Pigeon point and Star bay. We had to take cabs everywhere... More

We stayed only one night - it was 5 minutes cab from the ferry, we were worn out and we smiled the second we saw it, funky unexpected decor, fantastic staff. It is on a steep hill across the 12 foot road from the elegant sister hotel and at the bottom is a little cove beach. Our room was at... More

Tobago is a very beautiful small island with many beautiful highlights in the north, so to make the most of this very good hotel - hire a car / bring an umbrella for the tropical storms and strong sun! Hotel rooms lovely with breeze kissed veranda, comfortable 4 poster with mosquito net (needed at times) wonderful large shower abundant hot... More

Personal is very nice, room with wood floor, BFast very good, Wonderful swiming pools, with an access to the beach. Very close to Scarborough, but the location is very quiet. A nice place to stay. The restaurant is a bit expensive for dinner, but very good. You can rent a car from the hotel, which is very convenient.

Huge room next to the pool with 4 poster bed and flower petals everywhere. Clean & comfortable. Easy walk to secluded inlet (provided you don't mind a few steps). Lovely setting - especially for couples. Very helpful staff. Located in a residential area so very quite but also a bit of a hike to town center/restaurants, etc. Stuck going to... More

Booked three nights three days at HMB only stayed one night. The room was dusty and had spiderwebs which was a big turnoff. My wife and I arrived around 8:30pm checked out the next morning. It can be a nice place but it needs updating and renovating. The staff were extremely pleasant, no complaints in this area at all and... More

I got a Junior Suite for the night. The room itself was spacious and extremely clean with high ceiling and a... More
