Tobago

Enjoy your stunning surroundings with a beachfront hotel such as Coco Reef Resort & Spa or check in to the pretty Half Moon Blue Hotel, with its ocean view and private beach. For a cheaper option, Miller's Guest House offers no-frills rooms with that all-important beachfront location, while those looking for a self-catered option will find tropical gardens and all the amenities at Tobago Tranquil Apartment Guest House, just a five-minute walk from Bucco Bay and Grafton Beach.

Visitors are often surprised by the variety of food on offer in Tobago. With a rich mix of influences from around the world, you'll find everything from burgers to pigtail here.

Sample fresh Carribean and Creole cuisine at Kariwak Village (Crown Point), a striking open-air restaurant, or tuck in to freshly made pasta dishes at the candle-lit La Tartaruga (Buccoo). The tiny Salsa Kitchen (Scarborough) serves mouthwatering tapas dishes such as Lobster dumplings on a hillside veranda - book ahead, as there are only five tables in this intimate eatery.

While you can find plenty of big brands and shopping centres throughout Tobago, the island’s true treasures are hidden in its vibrant bazaars. As you walk through the crowded markets you can find hawkers selling all manner of home-made goods, including quality leathercrafts, intricately beaded jewellery, mini steel pan drums and the island’s speciality wood carvings. The hawker’s wares make fantastic keepsakes and are reasonably priced, leaving you with plenty of money to stock up on Tobago’s signature rum.
