Yolande\'s is not one of the most popular guest houses/apartments in Tobago and I wonder why as my entire experience here was lovely.
Yolande is very accommodating , warm and readily answers questions. I know this because I ask a lot of questions before staying anywhere as I want to ensure that I will be comfortable during my stay. Unlike other service providers, Yolande answered my questions in a cordial and professional manner without a hint of annoyance.
Upon my arrival, there was a certain level of calm that I felt as the grounds are well kept and picturesque. Yolande greeted me and showed me to my room immediately and even asked whether I liked it or not and made a little joke about the amount of questions I asked. (\"Ah making sure yuh like it because you made sure and asked all your questions before you came,\" she said with a smile.)
I stayed in the deluxe room, with the king sized bed and jacuzzi, and I must say it was a beautiful room especially considering the cost of 500TTD a night. The mattress was comfortable and allowed for a good night\'s rest. The jacuzzi and bathroom were clean and welcoming.
In fact, the room was clean and modern. I am the type of person who on vacation stays in at some points to relax and watch television, in my experience staying at various places in Tobago that offer cable television, the stations are not only very limited but many times, most of them don\'t show properly or are grainy.
Yolande has DirectTv and though you don\'t have access to all the stations there are enough for you to find something that you desire to watch, that is if television is part of your vacation.
Yolande\'s is located very close to Store Bay one of the island\'s top tourist attractions as at Store Bay you can get glass bottom boats that take you to the Nylon Pool, No Man\'s Land and snorkelling at Bucco Reef and Coral Village. Further Dex and Yolande\'s is located near a mini mart, Pizza Boys, Church\'s Chicken and the bar and grill, Drunken Joe\'s. All in all getting something to eat would not be an issue.
My only complaint is that the WiFi signal wasn\'t very strong in my room and was very slow, however, this hardly bothered me as I was so comfortable and had access to free WIFI at various locations on the island.
Before leaving, Yolande allowed us to see what the Standard Room looks like, these rooms are cheaper but were also clean and modern with a kitchenette. There isn\'t a kitchenette in the deluxe room, but there are, a mini fridge, microwave and kettle.
I highly recommend Yolande\'s to anyone looking for an economical but comfortable stay.
PS. I took this pictures right before leaving so they do not represent how I met the room. For example, the make up stains on the the hand towels were due to my use.
