We had a lovely time in a beautiful Villa…with Sunrises and Sunsets every day…very quiet and very peaceful.

Excellent housekeeper. Great pool. Quiet. Needs a couch and tv in basement suite. A supplied rum cake on arrival was a nice touch.

We spent five days in the beautiful malinda villa. We were pleasantly surprised by some refreshements and groceries provided by the owner. The house is really functional and beautifully furnished. The swimming pool was a pleasure with the kids . Every evening we enjoyed the scenery of the bay .

First impressions upon arrival were the southing sounds of waves crashing and birds chirping through the darkness followed by the pleasant feel of the villa's dark hardwood floor under your feet (The excellent condition of this no doubt aided by the shoes off preference of the owner John). The anticipated view that had to wait until morning did not disappoint and, although I cannot comment on the air-conditioning which was negated by the cooling sea breezes through the night, I can state the facilities on offer were more than adequate for my short stay. The main reason for my short visit to Tobago was to partake in some relaxing golf and I can recommend few better ways to finish a day of fine Caribbean golfing other than sliding back with an icy drink into one of the hardwood plantation chairs overlooking the Atlantic from Malindi’s wrap-around balcony. All in all the property has everything to recommend it to those looking for a quiet getaway and is within reasonable driving distance of Scarborough if something a bit more lively is required. I can also recommend the Plantations Golf Course on the opposite side of Scarborough bay for those interested in such things.

Malindi is a real getaway from it all type place and ticked many boxes for me in its offering of seclusion, vistas and most importantly total comfort.There are many things to like about this colonial style property but my number one favourite thing I think was reclining on one of the easy chairs on the extensive verandah, drinking rum while listening to the gentle chirping of the numerous species of birds frequenting the grounds; those sounds were accompanied by the sounds of the gentle crash of waves breaking on the nearby shore; even watching the ever changing cloud formations rolling by proved endlessly fascinating especially around sunrise and sunset.Although i was part of a small group, i can imagine even a larger group would still be able to find their moments of privacy throughout the large property and grounds especially as there are numerous areas of comfortable seating to be found. And of course when the time is right, getting together to enjoy meals, drinks and good company in the extensive lounge with its high ceilings and beautifiul dark wood furniture could not be bettered.Although Malindi is positioned in a quiet location, it is closely located to all expected amenities such as excellent restaurants serving local food and importantly to me access to stunning local golf courses which I found very affordable. When a more varied evening was needed the main town of Scarborough was not that far away and provided many opportunties to experience Tobago nightlife.I found Malindi to be very clean and well-maintained throughout and there were lots of little touches like the provision of bathroom shower kits, numerous towels, an extensive bookshelf of books along with good access to electronics such as wi-fi and tv channels etc. I met the owner John who impressed me with his enthusiasm to make sure my stay was as comfortable as possible. I was sorry to leave but I know I will be back to experience more of what Malindi had to offer.
