Bluewaters Feb2004

[Gary Elson]

Just back from Tobago. We stayed one night at the Blue Waters Inn. The location is superb, with the views out to Goat Island and Little Tobago making it one of the best locations we came across. However, we felt that you paid for that location. At $160/night it represent poor value compared to other places we stayed at (and heard about). The Speyside Inn probably represents better value.

If you want to step straight from your snorkel or boat trip into your room then its location is hard to beat. The rooms are OK. The reefs are OK but not perhaps as fabulous as they are hyped to be. Angel Reef at Goat Island is pristine, but not particularly colourful or teeming with fish.

The bar is a nice place for a drink but the staff were surly.

The Speyside/Charlotville area is wonderful, but the Bluewaters is not value for money.
