myTobago – your questions, review and comment about Tobago

Hello everyone!

Is there anyone that can tell me their experiences with Tobago Hostel in Scarborough? I tried to find in on the site, but maybe I have the wrong name...could not find it!

And what would you recommend, staying in Scarborough, Crown Point or Buccoo??

It is hard to decide and I have only 10 days left before arriving in Tobago..

Thanks!

Ira

Hello Ira

Welcome aboard!

Tobago Hostel? Sorry, I've never heard of it, so can't help.

I would certainly not recommend staying in Scarborough itself. There is virtually no visitor accommodation of any quality in the town itself, because nobody would want to stay there. Crown Point is where all the activity is. Buccoo is very much nicer, but without your own transport you will be very limited in what you can do.

Ok, very quick answer and good to know...I am thinking of going to Candles in the Wind; can i find a supermarket, restaurant and something to do at walking distance? Or do you have a better option? (I am on a tight budget , that's way I mainly interested in dorms)

I have planned a 5day visit to Trinidad before I come to Tobago and just read at a forum that no female should travel alone to Trinidad..Can not imagine it would be that bad, but if it is I might be coming over to Tobago sooner. Is Tobago ok to travel alone?

Hello Ira

There are no main supermarkets in Crown Point but there is a very useful mini-mart at Jimmy's Holiday Resort, just a 5-6 minute walk from Candles - where I believe you can expect a very warm and hospitable reception. Good choice.

It is always tempting providence to advise about safety. All I can say is that I would never even consider walking in Trinidad, but have no serious concerns on Tobago.
