My husband and I travel to Tobago for 1 week mid June. We had looked at Glouchester place, but it appears to be closed at that time?

We like something comfortable but not too pricey, and enjoy both the beach/snorkelling and hill walking. Don't mind self catering, but had thought B&B might be nice. Also a little concerned about security issues having read some reports about problems with villas etc. but we have travelled widely and do like to stay away from the big resort type hotels.

All suggestions welcome!!

Hi Katherine,how about Seabreeze in Castara.It is on the beach,50meteres from the Boathouse bar restaurant(breakfast lunch and dinner),the reef comes up to the beach so there is easy and safe snorkelling.David

We are sorry to be missing out on Alibabas Sea Breeze - sounds like the place to be!

Am contacting a few others to check on availability - Lillibets, Naturalist, Beach House and Sandcastles - any preferences?

Brian opens the day after his toil for me and my family.

I hereby promise to buy him a cold beer that evening as a reward for all his hard work (and I am sure by the time it's over he'll have practiced enough to finish off in perfect style!).
