myTobago – your questions, review and comment about Tobago

Hi everyone

Just in the process of booking our trip to Tobago in January. After reading loads of advice on here we have changed our original plan to stay near Scarborough, to the other side of the island and will now stay in Castara which sounds wonderful, just waiting to hear back from a couple of places about availability. We are going to book the flights independently with Virgin as not keen on the bad things I've read about XL.

Also just wanted to check if/when/where cruise ships come into Tobago? I don't want to end up on a beach that gets packed with people getting off a cruise ship for lunch or something!

Roll on January - will anyone else be around Castara then?

Carole

Hi Carole

You can forget about the influence of cruise ships if you're staying in the Castara area. Only a handful of small cruise liners call at Tobago. The inmates ( ) tend to head for Pigeon Point or stroll around Scarborough. Given my experience of the average cruise line passenger, I doubt whether they would want to get sand in their toes anyway.

Thanks Steve thats just what I wanted to hear

This is such a great forum you have going, there is so much useful information on here.

Fingers crossed I can get my accommodation sorted out now!

Ha ha Steph! Does David stay with you? It will be great to meet all of you and we def want to do some trips with you Steph, will email you separately once we have everything sorted.

What time is it over there, I'm anxiously waiting for a reply to one more accommodation enquiry I've made as I want to get booked up!!

Carole anxious to book her holiday!

almost 8 a.m. here, but remeber it is sunday...so a lot of people go to church rather than checking their mails... oh and tomorrow is a public holiday (don't as which one ) so don't expect too much...

sunny greetings from the beach

Great, where do you stay Tony? I know where David stays as I've been chatting to Steph!

Have the choice of a three places now and can't decide which to go for .....!!

Last January there were three of us and we rented out Toad Hall for two weeks. Next year there will be only two of us and we are booked into the Sealevel Guesthouse, just behind the Naturalist, for three weeks. Flying out with Virgin on 10 January.

See you for a jar ot two then??

Ahhhhh Tony we were nearly on the same flight!!! We were going on 10th, but changed our dates by a week to 17th to get a nice room at the Naturalist!! Sounds like we will be near neighbours though - see you on the beach!

Carole

PS Can you wear that hat so I recognise you!?

Hello to you all

Kinda wish we were able to travel the same time, would love to meet you all it would be surreal after 'chatting' on line. Unfortunately school holidays predict when we're able to travel

Best Wishes

Hi All

Yes David and, if I remember rightly, it's my round.

Carole, unfortunately that particular hat has now self-destructed.
