Magdalena Grand Beach & Golf Resort

I stayed at this hotel for three days. Renovations in the lobby area were taking place but this did not affect our experience. The rooms were clean but dated and there was a water challenge which was sorted out a few hours later. The staff were excellent, Mr Tefano and Mr Moore were very helpful and courteous . We were given a very late check out which is unheard of in the hotel industry. The lily ponds were something to behold, as well as the grounds and pools which are well- maintained. The birds and the ducks were also a lovely part of the experience. I think we got great value for our money. We were treated so well I will not hesitate to stay at this hotel when next I visit Tobago.

As a disabled person who uses a mobility scooter, I am always very wiery going somewhere new because I am never sure if the facility will accomodate my extra needs. I had no need to worry, when I arrived at The Magdalena Resort I was warmly greated by Stefano who quickly began to help assemble my mobility scooter. He then showed me round and identified the ramps to access different areas, of which there were plenty. There was were no area I was unable to access and the lifts allowed plenty of room for my scooter which is not always the case. I later took myself, alone, around all of the grounds of the gated community which gave me the independance that is so important to me. The food consisted of local dishes with plenty of fresh produce and Nigel the barman served an excellent Rum Punch, making it just to my taste. Nothing was too much for the staff, I would definitely stay there again and recommend it highly to anybody with mobility difficulties.

I spent two weeks at the Magdalena Grand Hotel and Golf Resort in Tobago and wanted to share my thoughts it turned out to be a really enjoyable stay. The resort sits along the Atlantic coast, which means you get wide ocean views and constant sea breeze. The beach in front of the hotel is public and open, but it’s not ideal for swimming because the water can get rough. The beach isn’t managed by the hotel. Even so, it’s great for a walk or for sitting quietly and watching the waves. The resort grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. Reginald stood out he takes immense pride in his work of maintaining the pool and surrounding areas. Everything looks neat and cared for, from the gardens to the walkways. My room was spotless, and cleaned daily, the bed was really comfortable with quality bedding. Some areas are being refurbished, which is normal for hotels this close to the sea and strong sun. The upgrades don’t interfere with the stay, and it’s clear the hotel is investing in keeping the property fresh. The best part of the stay was the staff. They’re warm, professional, and genuinely friendly, from the check in with Hollis, and those at the front desk. You feel taken care of in every part of the hotel. Donna, Diamond, and Natisha were wonderful at Salaka and the breakfast buffet. They always greeted guests with a smile and remembered preferences after the first day. Susan and Lysette, who supervise food and beverage, do an excellent job keeping everything running smoothly and making sure the service is consistent. Nigel at the pool bar kept things fun and relaxed, serving drinks with personality and professionalism. Kevin and Adanna at the Robinson Crusoe bar were also great! Really friendly, attentive, and easy to talk to. Lisa at the concierge desk was always ready to help, no matter the question. Tamara at the pro shop made sure the golf experience went smoothly. The golf course itself is a highlight. It’s challenging but beautiful, surrounded by greenery and plenty of wildlife, including birds and even Caiman. It’s one of those courses that feels both peaceful and exciting to play, again all the grounds team worked relentlessly The food across the resort was consistently good. Kalina’s served flavorful local dishes in generous portions, and the buffet breakfast had something for everyone—fresh fruit, local options, and the usual breakfast favorites, with amazing omelette made by Rachel Overall, the Magdalena Grand is a comfortable, well-run resort with a team of people who make you feel genuinely welcome. The grounds are lovely, the rooms are clean, and the service is top-notch. Even with some refurbishment underway and a wild Atlantic beach, the resort has a calm, friendly atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and enjoy your stay. I would definitely return.
