Starfish Tobago

My first time visiting the island, this was a vacation through a travel agency called "Vacation Connection 868". We booked the all inclusive package and this was the best thing since sliced bread. Highly recommended you visit here if you plan to come here .

I booked a holiday at Starfish Hotel in Trinidad and Tobago for myself, my wife, and 3 daughters, and sadly, the experience was a huge letdown. The food situation was one of the biggest disappointments. The same meals were served every single day with no real variety, and despite what the menu advertised, only about 10% of it was ever available. On top of that, the restaurant often opened an hour later than the times listed, which was frustrating and made planning meals around the day unnecessarily difficult. The facilities were also in terrible shape. The pool was only about 2 feet deep, dirty, and misty, making it unfit for swimming or even lounging around. The jacuzzi was no better — it looked more like a swamp than a place to relax. On top of all this, there was no running water in the shower at one point during the holiday. Instead of moving us to another room quickly, management took their time, leaving my family stuck without such a basic necessity. For a holiday destination, this was completely unacceptable. I will say that the staff were very friendly and did their best with what they had, but it was clear that proper training and management are badly needed. Service was slow and unprofessional, and the team seemed unequipped to handle even basic issues. Overall, my holiday at Starfish Hotel was far below expectations. Between the poor food, unusable facilities, lack of basic comfort, and undertrained staff, I would not recommend booking here. In fact, I would even consider not staying here if someone offered me this place free of charge — I value my happiness and my family’s experience far more than saving money. Trinidad and Tobago is a beautiful place, but sadly this hotel does not do it justice.

It was a reasonable one stop vacation. Calm bathing beach on the hotel shore, beautiful pool (shallow), restaurants, rooms etc. Most staff are very friendly. Some not so friendly (minority). I will come back again and again esp because it was cost effective.

I’m currently staying at Starfish in Tobago, and I’m genuinely disappointed with the condition of the main pool. The water is green and murky, and I couldn’t even see the bottom, a clear indication that it’s not being properly maintained. This isn’t just a cosmetic issue; it’s a health and safety concern. When I brought it up, there didn’t seem to be much urgency from the staff. At a resort of this level, basic maintenance like water quality should be non-negotiable. Guests should never have to question whether a pool is safe to swim in. I hope management takes this feedback seriously this kind of oversight affects the guest experience and the reputation of the resort. Tobago is beautiful, and travelers deserve better when choosing a place to stay.

I stayed here 2 nights with my family and it was the WORST hotel I have EVER stayed at. The food was awful, the rooms were no where close to updated, there wasn’t even an outlet in one of the bedrooms in the room, and the worst thing of all was the hotel staff’s attitude. I have never experienced attitude like this in any hotel. The servers were rolling their eyes right in front of you, completely ignoring you at the entrance to the food wait while you’re waiting. My friend told them what they are doing is wrong and she COMPLETELY IGNORED her and proceeded to give her the most burnt bacon they had, while me (in front of her) got regular cooked one. And don’t even get me started on the bar and the bartenders, I’ve never felt so uncomfortable, unwelcome, unhappy. They their attitude was the worst of all and honestly wondering why you would hire someone like them. I didn’t get his name but he was a darker guy with no hair, moving extremely slow, completely ignores you, makes extremely sloppy drinks(that were all placed in plastic cups) I accidentally spilled a bit on the counter that didn’t harm anyone and he got scarily angry at me. So DO NOT COME TO STARFISH HOTEL. No matter what the other good reviews say
