Magdalena Grand Beach & Golf Resort

I had my wedding renewal there. Ria and Wanda was the best hosts . All my wants and needs were met. I would recommend this venue for all your celebrations.

The staff at magdalena grand went over and beyond to ensure my family and I had a great experience. The environment is welcoming just like the ambience, will definitely use their services again because of their impeccable standard.Keep up the great work

We travelled for just over a month in the Caribbean region and this hotel was hands down the worst, despite being the most expensive that we stayed in. From the moment we arrived, there was nobody to assist with our luggage, and our room, or at least half of it was only ready at 5pm. The other side was still being cleaned at snails pace. The hot tub was empty and filthy. When we asked about, we were told to call engineering. The hotel has danger tape all over with many areas out of bounds. There was an intolerable stench from the seaweed, and we were advised on check in to keep the sliding doors closed at all times. Not their fault but not in the brochure either. My son’s bed was rusted and had rubbish underneath it. The tvs didn’t work until maintenance came to fix them. It has ‘beach resort’ in the name but there is no beach. Black sand and seaweed only. We had no water for the first 3 days! At all, for the last 2, we had no warm water. The staff could not care less. The one exception was the Crusoe bar. The staff there were excellent. The hotel looks like it was once a grand place but now, I would not stay at this hotel for free.

I recently stayed at the Magdalena Grand Resort & Spa in Tobago, and unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. The resort is clearly falling apart and nowhere near the standard it claims to be. Our room was in very poor condition, and to make matters worse, it was infested with ants — even on the beds. We also experienced a power outage during a storm, which, while not the resort’s fault, highlighted how unprepared they are. T&TEC had power restored in about an hour, but there was no communication or assistance from the resort staff during that time. Basic amenities were a constant struggle. Something as simple as getting ice required walking all the way to the pool bar with a bucket that literally fell apart at the bottom. At breakfast, they actually ran out of eggs and cheese at the omelette station — and staff admitted they had to track down the head chef just to get permission to buy more eggs. Even the employees said it was embarrassing, which speaks volumes. On top of this, the overwhelming smell of seaweed around the property (though not entirely their fault) made the atmosphere unpleasant.

We arrived at what seemed to be a beautifully well graphed hotel. Check in was fast, no problem there, the buffet was plentiful, tasted great and the waiters are the sweetest little things. However, We can tell these young adults have been well mistreated by this hotel. Scared to give out the names of other staffs when a guest asks, when you ask if they are paid well, they say "I cant answer that" with frowns , I cant stand a business that mistreats its staff, especially when they are trying their best. The hotel is outdated and falling apart. The gulf course needs work, the towels are old, while watching Them I can tell a few hundred people have used them. They have a playground that just sits there and looks perfectly ok, maybe needs some fixing. but according to staff its been closed for years. The rooms are small and they are very Tidy but aged with a moldy smell. The sea **** sat there for our whole stay, they made no effort to clean It, usually at other hotels they would not let it sit for so long that it created a pungent smell. If their goal was to ward off demons than this would be appropriate, but that smell will only ward off new guests, it smelled like feces. When I say this hotel is falling apart I mean it. Pieces are laying all over and constantly you see the workers trying their best to piece this hotel back together everyday. Painters and gardeners, but it doesnt look progressive. If my husband was not here for golf I would never stay. If you are very laid back like my husband and you just want to enjoy a nice scenery without care for your LIFE then I recommend this hotel. But from what I see, this hotel is unsafe. It is probably being eaten out from inside by those on top and that is why it cannot be fixed. If the ones that run this beautiful place allowed it to reach to this point, then to fix it you need to remove the old and start anew. 1 Rotten Product Will Spoil All the Goods if placed together. Needless to say this hotel can do MUCH better.

I visited Tobago in March for my annual seven week stay having visited this magical island every year since 2016. We hired a villa on Plantations as our base and used the islands facilities during our stay. Utilising the Plantations Golf course on many occasions, improvements made over the last few years makes this a wonderful course to play. The improvements have coincided with with the appointment of Tamara as the general manager who goes out of her way to ensure that everyone is welcome, facilitating golfers who have failed to book a tee time, book a buggy or forgotten to bring balls, tees etc. The staff support to all golfers is exceptional with green keepers exchanging conversation, local golfers sharing their experiences and making everyone’s stay as pleasant as possible. I will be returning in 2026 and look forward to a splendid holiday destination that as not been to commercialised. Neil Lowndes
