"Villa was perfect .....loved the pool and jacuzzi. Location was excellent with fantastic view. Judy (local manager) was very efficient and kind, as were Carlton and Christiana who look after the house and garden. We had a wonderful stay and did not want to leave ...... would definitely recommend and love to return. "
L. Ferguson, UK, March 2010

"We had another lovely time in Tobago and the weather this year was perfect - a steady 32 degrees every day and no rain. Everyone needed rain for the ground and the well's but we were quite happy! Villa LaHay was perfect for us again and we had some friends and family out at the beginning and then we were on our own for 2 weeks relaxing. We were very well looked after by Christiana and Carlton again and they were able to solve any problems we had. Again we had a wonderful time and if possible would try to go again next year."
A. and D. Manners, Spain, February 2010

"Peaceful retreat, awesome views, great furniture & lighting on the main floor. Without heating pool maintained 88 degree temps in the last two weeks of January. Best grocery store, turn left before Mi Shells restaurant and it's on the right (gourmet supermarket). Best typical bar with water view, Bago's on the corner on the way to Pigeon point (open at lunch time, sometimes has local food) and lunch restaurant (when open) WYSIWYG (same road, no view). "

"We stayed at LaHay in mid-December. We found the villa to be perfectly located. We saw whales and dolphins out at sea from our balcony. The fruit trees on the property were great. The house manager was on the ball - and took care of any request that we had for her. The place is totally comfortable, although I would not recommend it for anyone who has trouble with stairs - there is no bathroom on the main level - so there is a lot of up and down throughout the day. Some of the amenities seem a little worn (sheets, bedding, kitchen utensils) - if I was going to stay there for more than a week and cook my own meals I would definitely either bring my own pans or pick one up at the store. I don't want to complain because Linda and Thomas were very accommodating and so were their staff. My son loved it, and so did we. We are saving up now for a return trip to Tobago. It was practically a perfect vacation."

"I stayed at the Villa for 3 nights and 4 days, and I did not want to leave. We had a great time."
T. Harracksingh, Trindad, September 2009

"We had a great time at Tobago. The house was excellent. We enjoyed the swimming pool and the jacuzzi very much. Judy, the gardner and the housekeeper are very nice persons and treated us excellent. You have a beautiful house which is in great condition clean and spacious. We felt comfortable and enjoyed the fresh air and to our surprise we did not have any problems with insects or mosquitoes. We enjoyed the house so much that we really had to make a great effort to go visit other places. The kitchen area is excellent."
A. Perez, Trinidad, August 2009

"We rent a house in Tobago every year for a week and this year we chose Villa Lahay which was perfect for our holiday needs. It has a fantastic view of the Mt Irvine golf course, the ocean and the Nylon Pool from the main living area, and is a short walk or drive from two very nice beaches - Grange Bay and Mt Irvine Beach. Getting to other beaches and tourist parts of Tobago however would require a car.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating and any problems we had were dealt with as quickly as possible. We were even able to arrange for the housekeeper not to come as often as she usually does so that we had our privacy. The bedrooms at the villa were large and comfortable, but although there is a great balcony between the two upstairs bedrooms, it would be fantastic if the windows in the bedrooms faced the view. The bathrooms upstairs were very small, and the fact that there was no bathroom on the main living floor meant that  we had to be either running upstairs or downstairs to take children to the bathroom. This though was only a minor issue.
As Linda and Thomas advertised, this house is not designed for the elderly or people with disabilities because of the number of stairs. Our small children quickly mastered the stairs, but it was necessary to leave a few extra lights on at night in case one of them got up and walked between the two upstairs rooms.
The pool and jacuzzi were great for the times before and after the beach, and the large yard with its mature fruit trees afforded our kids room to explore. The large open plan living-dining room is lovely for relaxing and enjoying a beautiful sunset.
There are a few updates that can probably be done, but for value for money, comfort and location, Villa Lahay is great. Linda and Thomas were very responsive to queries and made the rental process very simple for us. We will definitely be back."

"Cool, wonderful, relaxing, loving the view."
D. Gonzales and S.Flores, Arina Trinidad, June 2009

"Pool, jacuzzi and land scaping make and gives such a homely feeling. Didn't even reach further than Mt. Irvine Bay and MTV Real World house."
Bernhard Paty and family, Trinidad, June 2009

"Second time here. Needs music on main floor evening to night socialising. But, pros outweight cons. Still as lovely as last time even with the pool moved. Memories to last a lifetime. Peace love and next year for sure."

"It was great fun."

"Beautiful villa, will come again. "
"Put a washroom on the Ground Floor and a radio in the house. Better ventilation in 2nd bedroom. Extend the size of showers. More towels and less staff presence."
Anisa, Trinidad, March 2009
Owner's Comment: We have looked into the feasibility of installing a wash room on the Ground Floor but it is not possible (there are 4 washrooms already in the villa).  The A/C and ceiling fan should be sufficient to keep the 2nd bedroom at a comfortable temperature during the night - we have had no problems. A micro stereo/radio will be installed on our next visit - meanwhile the DVD plays CD's and there is of course the TV.  We will look into the possibility of increasing the size of the showers when next refurbished. More towels - just ask the Housekeeper for more!! Linda and Thomas

"Hallo Linda und Thomas! Die Tage in eurem Haus waren einfach super und unvergesslich- das schönste was wir besher auf Tobago gesehen haben. Christiana, der Gärtner und Judy haben ihr bestes gegeben- wir können nur Danke sagen. Ein unvergessener Traum " We came as stranger- and we went as friends."

"Wonderful staying here. Paradise will deffinetly come again"
Irma, England, July 2008

"Our experience at Villa LaHay was great! Thomas and Judy were very accomodating and were available always for any questions we had. The property and view were gorgeous! We especially loved the fresh fruit every day, it was delicious! The only thing I would change would be maybe not to have the housekeeper every day. We personally like a lot of privacy when we take a vacation and having someone in the house for 4 hours a day might be a little much. Other than that I would highly reccomend this Villa to anyone. We had a beautiful vacation!"
