Kariwak Village and Holistic Haven

I went back in December 2022. I’d like to go back sometime soon and here’s why. Staff:All of the staff and the owner were nothing but amazing and lovely. They always did above and beyond especially for the Christmas celebrations. Hotel room:The room itself was so unique and cool! And every single day it was cleaned to perfection. Food:The food they’ve provided us with especially for breakfast was always made fresh to order and was so delicious. Airport: The airport is walking distance from the hotel. No car needed to get there! Area: For restaurants, shops and the beach, all were walking distance as well from the hotel. I’d like to give a shout out to the staff again. They really made the trip to to Tobago the best and unforgettable experience.

My stay at Kariwak was incredible! The word that keeps coming to mind is “oasis”, as it truly is a little oasis. The environment is peaceful and nurturing, and I wished my stay there could have been a longer one.||The food was most enjoyable. I would even say that Kariwak’s food is the best that I have experienced on the island, and having dined there on a few other occasions, it was refreshing to see that they have maintained a very high standard of cuisine.||The members of staff are friendly, courteous and efficient. Julien is professional and very pleasant. All in all, my stay was wonderful and I really look forward to having the opportunity to stay there again in the not too distant future. It really was a very pleasant and satisfying experience!

The ambiance was captivating, we enjoyed the pool and hot tub as well as the service and hospitality was warm and inviting. What caught my attention was the staff being so friendly and willing. I'll be visiting again soon with my kids and I'm pretty sure they will love every moment spent at Kariwak Village.

I had the pleasure of returning to Kariwak for a couple of nights. I was in Tobago to meet family but due to flight timings from the UK had to spend a day solo before they arrived. ||As a lone female traveller there was nowhere else I would have considered.||Kariwak is not only a beautiful and relaxing environment, it is also super convenient from the airport (a five minute walk), close by to the beach (although I ended up just basking by the beautiful pool) and near to a whole heap of restaurants and eateries. ||I chose to take all my meals on site in the famously delicious restaurant. The menu is small because it’s prepared with care and is unbelievably delicious. The hotel is known throughout T&T for its excellent food. The food came out hot, quick and tasty. ||I had a cabana style room near the pool which was perfect for me as I could easily access the bar, restaurant and pool. The room was perfectly appointed - simple but comfortable. I was grateful for a break from the tech and gadgets - I get more than enough of those at home! ||There’s a touch of the old school retro to this place, you feel like you’re in a movie from the 70s as you recline sipping a cocktail and listening to the bananaquits. ||The staff were incredibly attentive. Julian in particular was a real star - super courteous and welcoming, as well as keen to make sure I felt comfortable as a solo traveller. He also makes a mean cocktail! ||Before I went I was so sad to see some of the negative reviews on here. I didn’t believe they could be true and having visited again I can assure you they aren’t! Kariwak remains one of the best places to stay in Tobago period.||Some advice: you’re in one of the most beautiful countries in the world, relax into it, enjoy the moment and don’t trouble yourself looking for faults! If you are a super particular traveller - unfortunately there isn’t anywhere in Tobago that will offer a 7 star hotel standard but that’s what makes it SO SPECIAL!||🌞

This was our first visit to Tobago - and what a superb experience! The village is a haven of calm and tranquillity. Our room was clean and comfortable, situated right beside the warm pool. We swam before breakfast and dinner. The meals were excellent and the staff were all welcoming and helpful. The location couldn't have been better - it was a few minutes from the airport yet we weren't troubled by noise.

A really lovely place to stay in the crown point area.||We stayed in a garden room which was set in the colourful and well designed gardens. The room was quiet and spotless with plenty of room. Plus a nice patio. ||Location wise it’s a 5 minute walk to store bay and there is a free shuttle to the amazing pigeon point. ||We are in the restaurant three times and the food was good each time. Lovely flavours and particularly enjoyed the soups and fish dishes. The staff were all helpful and friendly. Based on our experience the criticism and the restaurant and service seems very unfair. It is very laid back but that is part of the charm. ||Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again - recommend!

My wife and I spent our anniversary there this weekend and it was great with excellent service would highly recommended to family and friends

This hotel was perfect for me and my friends. It was not all inclusive so you did not feel the need to over indulge and the location was walking distance from all the action of the Crown Point strip but far enough away from it for peace and quiet. It is an older hotel but the rooms were very clean and well maintained. I personally liked the nostalgic feel of it being older. Walking distance away from Store Bay which is the local beach with lots of shopping and restaurant options. It is also a short drive away from Pigeon Point and this hotel provided drop off and pick up to those two beaches which was super convenient. We had the option for breakfast which I highly recommend taking the breakfast option. It was really healthy and delicious. I felt very safe and welcomed at this hotel. Thank you to Mr Alan and his friendly staff who took very good care of us. I will be back next Feb. With love from Toronto-Carla
