    Accommodation Options in Tobago

    Where to Stay: Tobago's Finest Hotels, B&Bs, Villas, Eco-retreats & More

     

    Tobago may be small, but it finds room for every sort of hospitality. Luxury or budget? Ocean or forest? Beach or infinity pool? Villa or host home? Room service or self-catering? Ah, decisions, decisions.

    Tobago’s wide and ever-increasing array of accommodation can meet any holiday plans or budget, particularly in the tourist centre of Crown Point and along the island’s Leeward Coast. From the busy southwest corner of the island to the rainforests of the interior and northeast, you can find comfortable, quality lodging. You can choose a luxury or budget hotel, a beach resort, an elegant villa, a self-catering apartment, a homely guesthouse, or a simple cottage in a quiet fishing village. Most choices offer airport transfers and visitor activities including tours led by experienced nature guides.

     

    Around Crown Point & the Southwest

    The Crown Point area, next to the airport, pulls more visitors than anywhere else, and if you want social life, nightlife, and plenty of entertainment options, this is the place to go for. There are both luxury and budget hotels within easy walking distance of the airport, close to Store Bay and Pigeon Point beaches, and an array of restaurants and bars. Hotels and resorts are thick on the ground here in the southwest, including Crown Point Hotel, the Arnos Vale Hotel, Tropikist, and the newly unveiled Magdalena Grand Beach Resort at Tobago Plantations. There are self-catering apartments at Belleviste and Store Bay Holiday Resort, and stunning villas like those at Tobago Plantations (including the stunning Villa Sans Souci), Stonehaven, Seahorse Inn and Plantation Beach Villas a little way up the coast. Indeed, a villa is something one could easily get used to, and for a group it can be very affordable. At the luxury end you can live like royalty, and the simpler, cottage-style properties are very comfortable too. Spectacular views, architecture and service are often part of the deal. These villas also are perfect for wedding ceremonies and to host full wedding parties.
     


    Themed Holidays

    The further you go from the airport, the quieter Tobago becomes, and the more space there is for specialist pursuits: eco-vacations, hiking, diving, fishing, biking, birding (there’s even an adults-only hotel in Black Rock). There are lodgings geared to specific interests, whether you’re on a diving trip (Blue Waters Inn, near Tobago’s diving mecca at Speyside, has a dive shop and nature trails), a golfing holiday (luxurious villas like Sans Souci and Jammev at Tobago Plantations will help you rest up before teeing off), or an escape into nature (try the Arnos Vale Hotel, or the award-winning Footprints Eco Resort and Cuffie River Nature Retreat near Runnemede and Tobago’s Main Ridge Forest Reserve). Wedding parties would do well with the island’s upscale villas.
     
     

    Price & Availability

    The pressure on room stock has increased recently with growth in domestic tourism, particularly as locals cut back on expensive international getaways because of the global economic downturn. Plans are under way for two new large hotels, including the island’s first five-star facility, the Culloden Reef Hotel. In fact, the island's airlift is contingent upon the expansion of its room stock (and the upgrading of its airport). Nevertheless, occupancy rates fell during the global recession, and prices with them, so there are steals to be had before the economy gets back to normal. Still, make sure you book ahead for traditionally popular peak periods like Easter, Carnival, Christmas and New Year's, the Jazz Festival and holiday weekends.
