The Palms Villa Resort offers brand new, luxury accommodations on one of the island's most idyllic locations. Just minutes from beaches on either side, this hilltop estate offers the tranquillity and beauty of unspoiled rainforest while still being conveniently located close to all amenities and sites. http://www.caribbeanmag.com/search/hotels/Trinidad_and_Tobago/palmsresort/hotel/300/5/ en-us Copyright 1998 e-TravelMedia.com/CaribbeanMag.com Tue, 14 Feb 2012 15:17:55 EST Each villa has an oversized teak verandah on both floors. The ground floor verandah has a living and dining area overlooking the pool, while the second floor verandah offers spectacular panoramic views of the forest and valley below. By maximizing the verandahs, The Palms takes full advantage of outdoor living. One can wine n' dine or simply take in nature at its best. Each villa has its own full size, private pool and soaker pool for lounging the days away. Complete with a poolside BBQ to cook up some local dishes, how else would you want to spend your vacation? AMENITIES: Each villa has three large, air-conditioned bedrooms with full en-suite facilities, private full-size pool, and can comfortably accommodate parties of six. The verandahs offer panoramic views not only of the richly landscaped 10-acre estate itself, but of the rainforest and valleys surrounding it. There are fans and air-conditioning throughout each villa. SECURITY AND PRIVACY The 10-acre estate is in a secured area, complete with entrance gates, security personnel, and Resort Manager on site. But this is more for piece of mind than security issues as Tobago is renowned for its friendly climate and exceptionally low crime rate. Each villa with its own pool is surrounded by tropical landscaping to create an element of privacy from neighbours while the rainforest and lush valleys themselves surround the 10-acre estate, offering seclusion from neighbouring properties. Each villa is equipped with its own personal safe. CHILDREN The Palms is child-friendly but we suggest usual precautions around the pool area. There are teak balustrades around the verandahs on both floors and banister rails on the stairs. Babysitting services, cots and cribs can be arranged through the Manager's Office. ACTIVITIES: WATERFALLS, TRAILS AND HIKING Walking and hiking on Tobago gives wonderful insight into this beautiful countryside that has been protected for over 200 years. The climate and incredible views, coupled with uniqur wildlife make Tobago one of the best hiking areas in the islands. As hiking and trailing is possible for all ability levels and ages, everyone can enjoy what the island has to offer.
