BEST HOTEL IN TOBAGO - I STAY HERE 4 TIMES A YEAR !!
Where do I start? When my husband I first visited this resort over 2 years ago attended the breakfast buffet where we first a young lady named Carla . She stood out from the rest of the staff as she was well-put together, kind and pleasant and very attentive to our needs. I remember her always passing our table 7 -8 x asking if needed anything and if everything was ok.
I AM VERY BIG ON CUSTOMER SERVICE.
Since then, we have visited Magdalena Grand Hotel almost every 2 -3 months. We stay no where else on the island. This now our 10th stay at this hotel !!
Fast forward 6 months.....we had the pleasure of meeting the additional staff in the Breakfast buffet. I MUST mention their names as they too are nothing less than fantastic.
VICTORIA....Rochelle ( Nick name DOUGLA ) ...and of course IZACHIA.
How do these 3 outstanding young ladies always remember our names? LOL!!
My husband and I travel all the time. We have visited many restaurants and hotels in the past. However, let me tell you why I am so impressed with these 3 ladies. THEY WORK AS A TEAM NOT AS INDIVIDUALS.
Where Rochelle would greet us pleasantly at the front as we arrive for breakfast, Izachia would clean the table and pick up dishes, while Victoria would ask us if we needed more fresh grapefruit juice and get it for us. There also some staff that did a fantastic job as well but I cannot remember their names...and for that I do apologize.
"THAT IS WHY THIS MY HOME AWAY FROM HOME." With all the staff combined, this makes us feel like family ...not a guest.
Now...here's the icing on the cake. One morning, I stated that there was nothing on the breakfast buffet that I felt like eating. The girls suggested that they would speak the breakfast chef to see if she could prepare a special dish for me. Her name was AVRIL.
Not only did AVRIL personally come out from the back of the kitchen to personally talk to me at the table, she had asked me what I felt like eating. She gave me some suggestions....and then made me EXACTLY what I asked....with restaurant quality.
I was stunned !!
We immediately went upstairs to our room and booked our next vacation at the Magdalena Hotel with the Reservations department ....no questions asked.
Thank you EVERYONE for making our stay so enjoyable and making us feel like family.
Yours Truly,
Ann-Marie

Needs some change
A little disappointing considering the potential this place has. Room was ok. Elevator down. Water damage.Restaurant average. Service was average and not the best swimming beach either. Probably not my go to on my next Tobago visit.

Great, good, bad - has loads of potential
London, United Kingdom
This hotel definitely has the wow factor as you drive up, same with the reception, however there are a few cons:
Some lazy staff serving outside on the patio
The room - rusting bin, tiled floor looked like outside tiles, broken handle to flush toilet, broken dial in shower (I would say it need a bit of tlc). The breakfast was quite disappointing, though I've heard so much about it.The bartenders upstairs to the far right of the reception really could do with some training in customer service and mixology.
PROS;
Victoria who served on the patio is AHmazzzing! She went above and beyond. We wanted hot chocolate, one young lady simply said, we do not have any. We asked Victoria and she made it happen, EVERY morning! I also loved that the food an bev manager do a walk around saying hello and helping the guests.
Adanna and Nigel at the pool bar was also a fab duo! We also LOVED the guy who played the steel-pan on Sunday, we wished we had booked another night just to stay and chill. I would stay at this hotel again simply because of the pool area, Victoria, Adanna, Nigel and the hope that better will be done in the rooms.

EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE - MAID SERVICE AMAZING !
Toronto, Ontario
i have traveled to many different islands. Magdalena has the best all around customer service where the General Manager Vinod, actually gets involved to make sure your accommodations in nothing less than perfect. He actually takes the time to respond to your emails and requests almost immediately or at the very least within 24 hrs. I have never had a problem with checking in and my favourite room #339 has ALWAYS been available. I'm impressed that he always remembers our names. This makes you fell like family....and you wonder why I stay at this hotel 4 x a year??
What I so impressed about Vinod is his attention to detail, cleanliness and customer service.
Now...there;s nothing worse than having a nice vacation but then having bad night sleep on the bed !
Well...along comes "SUPER WOMAN" MARTHA to the rescue.
This classy woman in house keeping has an answer for everything. After the service clean my room ( which has always been exceptional), my wife and I had back aches from the mattress.Martha, took time away from her lunch break to come personally to my room, flip the mattress ON HER OWN and suggested the we allow her to put 2 extra padding below the bed sheets to help the problem !
WOW ! WOW !! WOW !!
MARTHA ! MARTHA !
The result : The sleep my wife and I had on any vacation in the last 2 years!
Leave it to the professionals.
This is just the type of service you will receive at this hotel.
Another note, everyone in the hotel is ALWAYS HAPPY AND SMILING ! I thought maybe everyone was just "High" on something LOL!!!!
Actually, its just that everyone under the General Manager Vinod really loves their job.
THEIR FRONT DESK MANAGER HOLLIS IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF THAT. My wife's back was hurting, Hollis somehow found out ....brought her a reclining lawn chair and put it on our hotel room balcony so she can relax her back.......without her or I even asking !!
We NEVER even asked for this ! He actually cared enough to do that for my wife. My wife STARTED CRYING, shocked that someone at this hotel that she hardly even knew....would take the time and have the consideration and respect to do that for her.
If you want a classy, beautiful safe, hotel with excellent customer service, where the staff ACTUALLY care about you as a guest..then Magdalena Grand is the #1 Hotel in Tobago.

A confusing place that seems somewhat lost
Hampshire, England
This was our third time staying and maybe our last.
While the staff overall were good and the food was very tasty and varied each day, the overall level of service was odd. Things either moved at fast pace or no pace at all. We had a couple of problems with check in and getting drinks and food while waiting to get our room, which took ages. This was despite making prior contact and asking to check in at 12'ish midday. To get into the room at 9pm was not good despite there been other rooms free.
The price does certainly does not represent value for money and the reason why I have scored it 3 out of 5 is because some staff were excellent and the minus of 2 for those that were too lazy to do anything or be helpful.

Whilst Antigua is a popular choice to many, the little island of Tobago is its less notorious counterpart, showcasing the authentic side of Caribbean life. In Antigua you will find glorious white sand beaches and a great selection of karaoke...
For those wanting to escape the towns and cities and enjoy a more quiet way of life and enjoy mother nature, then Grenada and Tobago is the perfect twin-centre holiday for you. In Grenada, step away from the beach to...
