What a trerrible and disappointing experience. After searching online from the UK, I booked the Golden Thistle (GT) as a nice Christmas cool-down session for myself, my welch husband and Trini mum and nephew. While the front off staff was lovely (Jamie), the fact remains that like so many places in Tobago, the GT is nothing more than a home... more

We staid at Golden Thistle for two weeks. The location was perfect, not far from airport. Walking distance to the shops, beach and resturants. Every morning we had a good and filling breakfast, served in a very relaxing outdoor dining room. The garden just outside our door was beautiful, with banana trees growing all around. We had a great time... more

My boyfriend and I work very hard, so anytime finances permits, we hop across to Tobago to relax. We decided to go across for the long Republic Day weekend and the only place available was this Hotel. Getting there was easy, it's close to the airport. We arrived and was met by the receptionist who was very friendly, we signed... more

My husband and I never had a honeymoon so this was our first trip together. The service was excellent, the food was great. The location is one of the best things about this place. It is close to most of the popular spots and walking distance to the airport. The bedrooms were clean and neat, spacious yet cosy. The ambiance... more

We totally enjoyed our stay at the beautiful Golden Thistle Hotel, the only complaint we had was that our time was too short! There were luscious banana trees growing all around the property that gave it that rainforest look. We loved the layout of the hotel and of course the closeness to the beach. The beautiful plants and trees and... more

What a huge disappointment! I visited Golden Thistle almost 10 years ago and my stay there was pleasant enough so I decided to book there again for a family getaway. First of all you cannot book here by credit card but have to make a bank deposit which is very inconvenient in this day and age. When I arrived I... more

I have been to Tobago for the last ten years, and this facility is the worst I ever stayed in. When we checked in on Carnival Friday night, my two sisters, my two year old son and I were given a room to the back with NO window. It was smelly and cramped. When we asked why this room, they... more

The fact that no one we asked knew the location of the place suggested that it was not one of the nicest places in Tobago. We had to drive down a mud track to find the hotel but at first glance it didn't seem so bad. Tobago itself is such a paradise but this hotel made my stay very unpleasant.... more
