Blue Waters Inn

Frommer's Review

Attracting nature lovers, this family-run property on the northeastern coast of Tobago is nestled along the shore of Batteaux Bay, where a private 300m-long (1,000-ft.) beach beckons guests. This charming and rustic retreat extends onto acres of tropical rainforest with myriad exotic birds, butterflies, and other wildlife. The building's entrance almost appears to drop over a cliff, and birds may actually fly through the open windows of the driftwood-adorned dining room. It's a very informal place, so leave your fancy resort wear at home. The inn now offers several units with kitchenettes, suitable for families. A few are wheelchair accessible, and all of the basic, no-frills accommodations have ceiling fans and small private showers; all are air-conditioned as well. The second-floor rooms offer lovely views of the water. The inn is about 40km (25 miles) from the airport, a 75-minute drive along narrow, winding country roads.

Tobago's local food is mixed with international dishes on the menu here. The emphasis in on fresh fish caught daily, and the chef also offers leaner dishes with reduced fats.
