I found the accomodation at the Naturalist Beach Resort simple and clean with all the facilties for self contained accomodation including en-suite shower/toilet, double bed, kitchen and Air conditioner for $40/night per room. Excellent price.
Ancil George, the owner is ready to sort out any problems you have and also has cars for hire.
Its location was right on the beach with access to a Cafe, as well as three resturants and bar within 5 mintues walking distance. I recommend the Almond Tree.
Castara is a quiet "working" fishing village in the central part of Tobago. Is within 30 minutes from the airport and no more 30/40 minutes to the north of the island and Central Ridge for birdwatchers. It is definitely a place to relax and chill.
But you can get access to a variety of tours/activities in Castara including trips to Trinidad.
It would be adviseable to change some travellers cheques/dollars at the airport. Although, you can usually change dollars at the beach resort and/or one of the resturants at a fair rate. My advice is to take US dollars as opposed to TC's.
Crime in Tobago is little or non-existent. I felt safe walking both around Castara and beyond loaded with camera equipment.
And the people are extremely friendly and usually ready for a good chat.
