Ocean Air - Reader Reports & Opinion
Luxury Accommodation In Excellent Location
Jeremy Horsham from U.K. visited in February 2006 and awarded 
We were so impressed with our 1st stay at Ocean Air two years ago we came back again with friends.
The extremely well equipped villa impressed us once again – very comfortable, all mod cons, air conditioning etc. and use of a swimming pool surrounded by well maintained grounds.
We'd have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone looking for superior self catering accommodation in Tobago.
Ocean Air Tobago
Gary Manning from U.K. visited in February 2005 and awarded
I stayed here with my girlfriend and 2 friends in February. First time to the Caribbean and was suitably impressed. The apartment / condo at Ocean Air is perfect. You feel very safe being on the Hilton complex and you nearly have the pool to yourself all the time. Tobago is great, weather awesome, good diving, great food and the people are really lovely. No one hassles you on the beach which is nice.
Would recommend it to anyone who wants a beach holiday to relax but with other activities in between.
Beautiful Property, Wonderful Setting.
Mark Beckett from U.K. visited in January 2005 and awarded
Ocean View was a wonderful property, as the name suggests the view of the ocean is amazing! I stayed there with my partner and her parents. The property gives you the best of both worlds, set in a location to die for yet close enough to everything Tobago has to offer. I certainly intend on returning. Sally, the lady that owns the property was delightful and very welcoming. Her knowlegde of the island and the locals really let you get the best out of a fantastic island.

Wonderful Stay 03 Feb 2007
Joranson from Middlesex, England
We have just returned from a week at Ocean Air. It was our first visit to Tobago and made a wonderful base to explore the island. The apartment was spotlessly clean, had wonderful views, very comfy beds and was very well furnished. Sally was an excellent host and gave us lots of helpful advice. We were thrilled with the island and thoroughly enjoyed exploring it, thanks to this excellent website we knew all the best places to go!
I was particularly looking forward to the snorkeling and wasn't dissappointed.
One of our favourite beaches was Mount Irvine, it was very near the apartment and had both excellent swimming and snorkeling and sun loungers were £4 for two people per day, excellent value!
Ocean Air Villa 14 Oct 2004
Angela Ward from Nottingham, England
Myself, my partner and 2 friends returned from our first trip to Tobago last Sunday and what a holiday!! After much research on this fabulous website we decided to opt for Ocean Air villa for our 2 week stay and what an excellent choice it was. With two huge bedrooms, both en suite, plus a spare guest bathroom, fully fitted kitchen (not that we used it, other than to open a few bottles of carib and the odd bottle of wine), lounge/dining room, a magnificent balcony that ran the length of the villa and a swimming pool with sun loungers. Michael and Ingrid who look after the villa on behalf of the owner, met us at the airport and made us feel totally welcome. They knew everything about the island and were a fountain of knowledge. We rented the owners Mitsubishi Utility truck for the entire fortnight and explored the whole island (I believe we did over 600 miles!).
I've outlined a few of the things we did below:
Saturday Arrived in Tobago having flown with Excel. No problems at all even with the Gatwick baggage handlers strike.
Sunday Spent the day settling in and on Little Rockley beach. Visited the Hilton Hotel for dinner.
Monday Toured Scarborough, Speyside (lunched at Gemma's) and Charlotteville. Bonkers for dinner – highly recommended.
Tuesday Bucco beach and Arnos Vale Hotel. The snorkelling here was fantastic and that's from 3 very experienced divers. Make time to have tea and feed the birds at 4pm a very enjoyable experience. Colours for dinner – a limited menu but very good nevertheless.
Wednesday Castara bay, Grand Courland bay and Englishman's bay, all beautiful and onto the Golden Star for dinner. 3 course set menu including steel band – delightful.
Thursday Visited Argyle Waterfall with Alison as our guide. A wonderful experience and the water is 'refreshing' which I believe really means damn freezing. Collected a pizza tonight as everyone was shattered and ate by candlelight due to a power cut.
Friday Store Bay was beautiful and the Cat and Fiddle BBQ complete with live music and dancing in the evening.
Saturday Back into Scarborough for the Carnival parade and onto MeShells for a fantastic evening meal.
Sunday Time for a bit of an adventure as it was a little overcast today. Took the unfinished road from L'Ansi Formi through to Charlotteville – exciting. In the evening Mount Irvine bay was the venue for the end of Tobago Fest party and then onto Sunday School.
Monday Culloden Bay, Castara Bay and Parlatuvier Bay. Parlatuvier was gorgeous, totally deserted except for the odd local fisherman. Dinner was at the Best of Thymes restaurant in the Crown Point Hotel (don't be put off by the renovation work at the hotel entrance).
Tuesday Bucco Bay for a glass bottom boat trip to Nylon pool and coral reef, excellent snorkelling, onto Mount Irvine Bay and the very pretty Melange for dinner.
Wednesday Went over to Trinidad for the day with a guide (Tony) organised by Michael and Ingrid. Visited Mas Camps to see the carnival costumes, Asa Wright Nature Centre and Caroni Swamp for the scarlet ibis – truly wonderful.
Thursday Diving at Speyside, Rainbow Nature Centre and then to Seahorse for dinner.
Friday Returned to our 2 favourite bays – Partlatuvier and Arnos Vale. Couldn't decide which was our favourite restaurant so opted for somewhere new – Pelican Reef – excellent choice.
Saturday Picked up a few souveniers to take home, lounged round the pool and then off to the airport.
We didn't manage Canoe Bay, Pigeon Point or King Peter's Bay – but then you have to leave something for a return visit.
All in all a wonderful, wonderful holiday. If anyone needs further information or elaboration on any point just let me know.
