Hi
I've been to TnT several times, and when in Tobago I prefer to stay at
the Store Bay Holiday Resort, which is a reasonable priced self-catering
place. Very nice management, decent pool, close to Store Bay, Pigeon
Point and half-decent restaurants.

Rent a car and take a trip around the island. Charlotteville is a must.
Hire a guide for a trip to the rain forest, play golf, and be sure to
enjoy the "Sunday school" in Buckoo. Diving and snorkeling or bird
wathcing are other possible activities.
Day-trips to Trinidad are very easy with Tobago Express. If they're
there during carnival (not to be missed!) it is advisable to book
tickets well in advance.
The crime in Trinidad is not bad at all - true they have a serious
problem with kidnappings, but tourists are rarely affected.
