My sister and I stayed at Candles for 3 nights. We were a bit skeptical as this was our first time at a Bed and Breakfast, but I am admit we were pleasantly surprised.
First of all the location of this property is in close proximity to everything including beaches, restaurants. The neighbourhood is quiet, our room was spacious and clean. From the moment we arrived to the day we left Andrew the owner/manager was a wealth of information and took the time to chat with us on a daily basis to find out if our needs were met.
Be sure to take the island tour he provides (for $75pp). It is well worth it as he is very knowledgeable about the island and takes you to all the historic sites.
I would highly recommend Candles in the Wind.

"Excellent"

I stayed at candles with my husband and three kids an I must say we had a pleasant stay. Mr. Leekit was very welcoming from the start. He picked us up from the airport an took us on a short tour of the beaches. He was very conversational an the kids had lots of room to run. I must definitely say I would stay at candles anytime.

Very nice stay. Well-run, clean and private. No unnecessary extras, but all essentials included.
Situated among several other comparable Hotels/Guest houses which are twice the price.

Well located - near ocean, sites, centrall to local neighborhood activities.

Thanks for the stay,
john

The chummy hospitality along with the positive energy of the actual interior & its surroundings - an inner peace - makes me delighted to recommend "Candles" to anyone visiting Crown Point Tobago looking for a "home".

Very nice place clean, owner was very helpful and nice guy. A bargain for the price. No problems at all, except the bar near the hotel was very loud all
nite on weekend. Still the owner has no control over that.

I was a single traveller. I booked a double room with ensuite shower. I found Candles to be a good safe friendly place to stay. It is not luxurious but clean with decent facilities and good value for money. It is 5 minutes walk from a lovely beach with beach bar and near Pigeob Point and the airport. The owner , Andrew is keen to ensure everyone has a pleasant stay.

I appreciated its proximity to Store bay and Pigeon Point and the airport and there were lots of eating places close by. Andrew was very nice.
