This was our first trip to the caribbean, let alone Tobago, so we didn't really know what to expect. After staying at the Beach House, we will definately be returning next year.
The position on "Heavenly Bay" was perfect. We loved the sounds of the waves, and the birds which wake you in the morning,(although the first morning we were woken before daylight by an unearthly racket which we later discovered was a cocrico!)
My favourite times of the day were; first thing in the morning when only the birds are about, and watching the sun set in the evening. I could not have imagined that anywhere could be so relaxing. After dark we would sit on the veranda, sharing a beer or two with some friends we made; watching the fireflies dance.
Shaun was in his element, with fishing 20 yards from the Beach House. He also really enjoyed a couple of trips out with Anaconda, who was a really genuine guy. We rarely ate out,as Shaun kept us supplied with a variety of fish for dinner. We did eat at the Boat House once, which was very good, but unfortunately it was shut for most of our stay.
We found the Beach House perfect for us. We spent a lot of time on the veranda watching the birds, and lizards feeding on the fruit we put out for them.
We did hire a car from Porridge for a week, and travelled around the island, but it felt so good to be back in Castara at the end of the day. Porridge and Jeanelle were incredibly friendly and helpful. Try Jeanelle's cooking; it was delicious, and excellent value.
We are so looking forward to returning to the Beach House next year. Truly paradise!
