blue haven beach

often waves but great fun with board or lilo surfing.very good beach café. loungers available ,free for hotel guests, 50tt for others.

Lovely beach for 'wave jumping'. pleasant and friendly waitress in the beach bar, and reasonably priced food.

The resort above it is dying but the beach is idyllic, where in 1957 Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr filmed the classic “Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison."

Lovely beach area down 124 steps. My first experience with boarding, had a fantastic time.Bar onsite, very friendly, great service.

Beach nice - sea a little rough. Good beach bar and the food was good. There was some seaweed but this was apparently the time of the year

We love the setting of the Blue Haven in Bacolet Bay - this hotel has character beyond the corporate chains. We have stayed many times over the and look forward to our next visit.

The hotel needs a lick of paint but the staff are so friendly and helpful. The location is stunning and the food is good.

small cove excellent swimming and a great beach bar for lunch. beach is clean and there was a lifeguard at weekends

Lovely calm beach. There are sunbeds, a bar with lunch options, and a caretaker that can give you a coconut for a good price and show on how to find them. The Atlantic Coast is generally more ruff with higher waves. This beach has some but they are gental and the beach is not steap or to shallow. Close to Scarborough. For me this was the perfect beach.

the beach is just a few steps down from the hotel, the waves are very big and the sea is generally rough, when the boat comes from trinidad at certain times, it is unsafe to bathe, but the water otherwise, is crystal clear and the sand is bleach brown, the is a bar and a swing set there, the beach doesn't get deep until about quarter mile out, very beautiful place indeed would surely visit again! also, there is no bathroom since the beach is part of the hotel, but there is a pipe that pumps water for you to wash off

Bacolet is one of the beaches that we favour when we visit Tobago. Although it is quite hard to find as you need a car and then need to lug your stuff down the steps. Once you get down onto the beach, you will find a small, quiet beach that you can often have almost to yourself. What makes this beach so ideal to those of us who are hard to please is that the gradient into the water is very shallow, so no suprises and it is usually very clear in summer. The waves vary between very calm to small swells that are perfect for beginner boogie boarders. Very occasionally you get a day when the seaweed washes in so abandon it and go elsewhere. There is a relaxed beach bar serving nice rotis, burgers, chips and fish meals; great for the kids. My other favourite aspect is the fact that there is grass and trees, so you don't have to sit on the sand, you can recline peacefully and still see your family frolicking in the waves within close distance. I have spent many happy days on this beach and highly recommend it. There is also a tap to wash off sand and a changing hut, but who needs to change?

I am amazed how anyone could think this establishment merits anything but a terrible review. This place should be called the Big Problem Beach Bar. We visited it (to my eternal regret) when there were no other customers but, despite there being at least 4 staff, no-one showed any great enthusiasm to serve us. When we did give the waitress our order she asked if we were from the Blue Haven Hotel. I wondered what the knowing look that she gave me was about. I think, on reflection, it was that she thought she didn't have to try too hard, as I subsequently found out the bar was part of the hotel. When the order came part of my husband's was missing and they had to cook up some chips quickly. I had ordered chicken and chips and I knew when I bit into the chicken something was wrong. It was rubbery and tasted very odd and, stupidly, I tried to eat it. Next day I was violently sick and in bed all day. The menu is limited but okay for a place like this but the prices are way over what they should be, probably because of the fact it has a monopoly on the beach. To add insult to injury, on top of the prices they add 10% service charge (what a joke) and 15% VAT. The location at Bacolet Bay is very pretty but if you go there I suggest you confine yourself to ordering drinks. Even these are way overpriced. A cup of tea would cost you 18 Trinidad and Tobagan dollars while a soda was 12TTD. Add the service charge and VAT and you get charged way over twice the price of soda charged at most of the other places at which we at My advice is do not touch this place with a bargepole!!

Just sit, in the shade, order really good food and beverages, and listen to the surf. The occasional bird wanders through to pose for photos......Heaven - absolutely Heaven - or at least a glimpse

yes, great service does exist in Tobago. Albert is top shelf material and one of the reasons we returned for a second time. Thursday nights Steel Pan drummer was excellent. Different menu every night.

excellent spot. hardly used and so most days you will be the only ones there. the beach bar whilst not the cheapest is great. sundays the locals have a very "animated" game of football on the beach for an hour or so - well worth watching!
