Tobago and Barbados

My wife and I are travelling for five nights in Tobago and three nights
in Barbados, in March 2004. We like diving, snorkeling, hiking, walking
and swimming. Also tennis players and avid eaters.... (good thing we do
all the walking etc).

Any thoughts on places to stay, especially in tobago, much appreciated.
We aren't really resort types but could do a low-key one, and like
cottages or bungalows, etc. We want less noise and more nature.

All suggestions much appreciated.

John

Hi John
Tobago is a small island, but because the northen range has sharp hills,
it´ll take a lot of time to travel up-down there. For such a short stay I
would recommend you to stay on the south side, but not exactly in the Crown
Point Area which is the busy area.

If you want a lot of nature, there´s some nice Eco Resorts too. I´ve seen
one myself, they have both double-rooms and cottages, pools with circulating
salt water and a very nice beach. But these places are always some miles
from bigger villages with restautarants, you will have to use a car if you
want to go somewhere else for dinners or so.

I´ll put together some information about Tobago, incl. pictures, and send it
to you. There´s quite many different places to choose between.

I think you would really like the Blue Waters Inn in tobago. Very laid back
and right on the beach.

Hi, John,
Like Susie Q., I think you'd like the Blue Waters Inn. It's on its own little
bay, with calm water, near Speyside on the northern end of the island. It's
separated from the small village of Speyside by a steep hill, so seems to exist
on its own. The rooms are basic -- no phones, no TV, open shelves rather than a
dresser. There are a few bungalows, but for two people, the rooms may be most
practical. There are about 35 rooms, so it has an intimate scale. The food is
good, if not spectacular. It's such a relaxing, beautiful place. There's a
constant sea breeze to keep you cool. We don't even use the air-conditioner.
I've been twice and am going back in February -- can't wait.

Yes Miguel, and there´s many road-taxis as well, but the majority of the
taxis are between Crown Point and Scarborough. If you are travelling on
other roads you don´t see the taxis so often, even locals sometimes has to
wait long.

And John is going to be in Tobago only five nights, he will use the first
and the last day mostly for travelling from / to the airport, only maximum
four whole days left for vacation. I really don´t think he want to spend
time waiting for a road-taxi or a hitch-ride, never mind how cheap that will
be.

It´s different when I´m there, I´m always there for 5-6 weeks so it doesn´t
matter for me if travelling sometimes take a long time. I walking, go by
bus, road-taxis or by bike. But John, he has in all five nights, that´s all.
