“Excellent getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2011

The Anise Resort & Spa is an excellent location for visitors to the North-East cost of Trinidad, W.I.. On welcome, your bags are taken to your room and you are given a delicious welcome punch. There are certain highlights that certainly set apart this property from many others in the general area 1.) Personalized service- there is an excellent bar near to the swimming pool, indulge yourself with a Mojito for example. The bartenders can whip up an excellent cocktail at almost any (reasonable) time that you'd like. It may appear that no one is serving the bar at times, but just go to the kitchen and ask one of the ladies for assistance. (This a really critical point because I find it hard to find good service in Trinidad) 2.) Cleanliness and quality of rooms. 3.) Excellent spa on site for those who prefer to relax. I would say it is a very ideal location (central) to main attractions e.g. Grand Riviere to see the leather back turtles during the May-July/August season, the Lighthouse, trails and also Rio Seco waterfalls and is a worthy stop to make! Being a local in Trinidad, I would recommend this place to other Trinidadians who just want to relax and for the foreigners: Even if you stay in Port of Spain, set aside some time to stay here! Tour the general area, and overnight. You won't be disappointed and you will get a different taste of the isle! One more point: I agree with travellers who previously mentioned that this location is not ideal for younger children. It is best for more mature people (not necessarily couples).

“Out of this world good!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2011

Just spent a wonderful weekend with my wife at this property and have only good things to say. The room was clean and well appointed with a fantastic view of the ocean - we went to sleep to the sound of the waves crashing on the shore. The food was excellent - definitely up to 5 star quality which exceeded any expectations we had. My wife loved the spa treatment and the staff were top of the line friendly, efficient and helpful in making this one of the best getaways we have enjoyed in a long time. The only drawback was the distance to get to the resort but it is definitely worth the effort. Ask for directions if driving since there is no sign for the resort - just look for the orange building on the hill. A true hidden gem and the perfect place to spend a romantic getaway.

“BEST VACATION/Resort”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2011

people found this review helpful

Perfect for a quiet escape from the hectic busy life of the states. Warm and inviting staff made our trip even more spectacular. Exceptional service and food was the best part. I'm still savoring over the amazing dishes and chef's specialties. The drive to and from the airport was lengthy but very scenic. Great beach. We got a tour of the rainforest which was one of my favorite experiences. Highly recommend this resort!

“Very Relaxing Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2010

people found this review helpful

My wife and I just spent my birthday and the last few days at Anise Resort and Spa. We were warmly welcomed with complimentary drinks and towels to refresh ourselves. The staff made us feel so pampered, comfortable and at home. The food is great and the presentation and preparation exceeds the standards of all the hotels we have visited. It is the ideal place to rest, away from laptops, work and responsibilities. The rooms, restaurant and grounds are spotlessly clean and the view is magnificent beyond words. The entire ambience energizes one's spirit and sense of well being. The resort also has its own herb garden. The service is so strikingly personalized that I even received a birthday card signed by the entire Anise team. We will certainly be returning. Thanks Krista, Clare, Claudia, Jackie and Eldon and all the rest.

“Anise - A Beautiful Secret”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2010

The personalized first rate treatment begins the moment you set foot on the property. The owners and staff are attentive, warm and courteous. All meals - breakfast, lunch and dinner were delicious! The ambience of the property is wonderful - truly an idyllic refuge. No hesitation in recommending Anise to anyone who wants to get away from it all and receive superb treatment. Definitely worth a return visit.
