Located in the Scarborough residential suburb of Bacolet Point, Shirma's Apartments offer 4 1-bedroom and a single 2-bedroom self-contained apartments.

The upper floor is home to a single spacious two-bedroom self-contained apartment, with a private deck overlooking the swimming pool, beach and sea.

4 x Self-Catering Apartments in Castara, Tobago
Alibaba's Sea Breeze consists of 4 self-contained one-bedroom apartments located directly beside Castara's stunning Little Bay beach. The owners live above the apartments and operate one of the most highly-regarded tour services on the island. These apartments offer comfortable accommodation at a modest rate that belies their stunning location and direct access onto Castara's nicest beach.
We have stayed at Alibaba's Sea Breeze several times and cannot recommend them highly enough. One of our real favourites!
2 x Self-Catering Apartments in Castara, Tobago
Located in Castara, SeaScape is a modern take on the traditional open-style wooden houses so popular and appropriate in tropical climates. The house is perched above the headland that separates Castara's Big Bay from the smaller but prettier Little Bay.
SeaScape is sub-divided into two well-furnished apartments; one with two bedrooms and the other with a single bedroom. Both apartments offer stunning sea views over both beaches and are just a minute's walk away from Little Bay beach.
40-bedroom Hotel in Crown Point, Tobago
The Sandy Point Beach Club is a timeshare club. However, they offer short-term holiday rental of vacant apartments. The property is located at Sandy Point, immediately adjacent to the airport runway. Visitor comments about the Sandy Point Beach Club have been highly complementary and concerns about noise due to the proximity to the airport can be almost totally dismissed. The club offers a daily shuttle service to Pigeon Point and Mount Irvine beaches.
The Sandy Point Beach Club should NOT be confused with the adjacent small Sandy Point Village hotel, which suffers a very different reputation.
Self-Catering Villa in Arnos Vale, Tobago
Kapinjala is an immensely striking 4-bedroom luxury villa situated on a hillside in beautiful Arnos Vale. The villa offers the most stunning views over the surrounding hills and out to sea. This is one of the most tranquil properties that we have ever stayed at in Tobago and the villa offers the very highest standards of accommodation. The views from the house, deck and infinity pool are almost impossible to describe. We can only summarise our feelings by saying that we think it will be some time before any other property impresses us quite as much as Kapinjala.
Self-Catering Apartment in Bon Accord Development, Tobago
Villa Bellefleur is situated in the Bon Accord Development, within comfortable walking distance of Pigeon Point beach, Store Bay and all the restaurants, shops and other facilities along the popular Crown Point strip.

The retreat is unquestionably the island's leading hotel for bird watchers but will be of equal interest to anyone seeking peace and tranquillity in a wonderful and natural rainforest environment.

We have stayed at, and reviewed, three of the largest and nicest condominiums in the Black Rock Dreams complex and Blue Marlin is scheduled for review in 2019. We believe these units represent some of the most ideally located and luxuriously comfortable holiday accommodation on Tobago. We thoroughly endorse and recommend all four units.

Located in Lowlands, on Tobago's Atlantic coast, 17A Tobago Plantations is a privately-owned ground floor two-bedroom condominium.

The cottage was previously listed and marketed under the name Castara Bay Eco-Villa, but property is now under new (seriously improved) ownership and management. Readers reviews that relate to the property and/or location have been preserved but reports that relate to the previous management have been deleted, for obvious reasons.
3 x Self-Catering Apartments in Castara, Tobago
One of the newer additions to the Castara holiday accommodation market, Cottage Mango is a newly-built wooden house that offers a choice from three studio apartments.

3 x Self-Catering Villas in Grafton, Tobago
Black Rock Dreams is a prestigious up-market development at the Black Rock end of Grafton Beach in Stonehaven Bay. The building comprises of eight 3-bedroom condominiums on two levels. The four villa-apartment units at either end of the building are particularly spacious, light and desirable. We recommend three of these units. The fourth is now in private hands and no longer available for rental.
The stunning beach-front location, superb facilities and high levels of accommodation put these units firmly in the upper tier of Tobago holiday accommodation. We describe Black Rock Dreams as villa-apartments because these luxurious accommodations are in many ways more suited to holidaymakers who would normally be considering a holiday rental villa.
3 x Self-Catering Apartments in Castara, Tobago
Nestled directly beside the golden sands of Castara's nicest beach, the Beach House is a traditional local wooden open-style two-storey house. The upper floor forms the owner's beautifully-decorated one-bedroom holiday apartment, Coconut Heights. The ground floor has two smaller and simpler studio apartments.
We have stayed in Coconut Heights several times and consider it the most authentic and atmospheric accommodation in Castara. Other properties in the village charge considerably more and yet are pale imitations of the real thing. See our review for full details of these unique apartments.
Self-Catering Villa in Bacolet, Tobago

Self-Catering Apartment in Grafton, Tobago
Mahi Mahi Suite is a 3-bedroom luxury condominium within the prestigious Black Rock Dreams development. This two-storey property is home to 8 privately-owned condominiums and offers direct access onto beautiful Grafton beach.
We recommend the 4 outer units of the Black Rock building, primarily because these are the largest and lightest units. They offer some of the highest standards of self-catering accommodation available on Tobago. Accommodation of this standard, in such a stunning location, does not come cheap, but as with everything, you get what you pay for.
Mahi Mahi Suite was the first apartment we reviewed at Black Rock Dreams. Not wishing to flood the recommendations with near-identical listings, Mahi Mahi acts as representative of the four units that we recommend in our listings of 'Recommended' apartments. The other units are Chaconia Suite and Flamboyant Suite. A fourth unit, Blue Marlin Suite, is due to be reviewed in March 2019.
3 x Self-Catering Apartments in Pleasant Prospect, Tobago

136-bedroom Holiday Resort in Store Bay, Tobago
The 135-room Coco Reef Resort is unquestionably Tobago's leading luxury holiday resort. A good hotel offering great food, fantastic staff and boasting its own delightful private beach.
The Coco Reef may not have the polished veneer and glitz of modern luxury hotels in other parts of the world, but the faded Colonial elegance and genuine warmth of the staff create an ambience that many guests fall in love with. Proof of this is a repeat rate that other hotels can only dream of. Visitors go on holiday to the Coco Reef, rather than going on holiday to Tobago and staying at the Coco Reef.

38-bedroom Hotel in Speyside, Tobago
Set in 46 acres of lush tropical grounds and backing glorious Batteaux Bay, the Blue Waters Inn boasts one of the most stunning locations on Tobago. The best reefs on the island are but minutes away and being situated on the edge of the rainforest, the opportunities for birdwatchers are just too good to miss.
The hotel has been operational for many years but suffered from lack of investment. We were keen to support this unique hotel but had little choice but to withdraw our earlier recommendation around 2008. Then, a new generation of the owning family took over and clearly saw the potential. The hotel has benefitted from a very major refurbishment in recent years.
We returned to the Blue Waters Inn in early 2018; the first visit for 10 years. What a transformation � not just in terms of the accommodation, but more importantly in terms of the staff attitudes and catering. This small hotel is truly a gem deserving of serious consideration.
