Arnos Vale  is one of them – with an elegant style and attraction all of its own. Princess Margaret honeymooned here in the 1960’s, and many newly weds have followed suit. The hotel and all rooms have been extensively refurbished and Arnos Vale has upgraded to 4 star status. 

In a stunning setting,  it’s tucked away amongst ancient tropical rainforest and sits above the edge of a Caribbean bay with indigo and turquoise waters teeming with sea life. Arnos Vale is synonymous with bird watching, and from any point in the hotel you can view some of Tobago’s 210 species in close up.   

The hotel is Italian in style, with a stunning dining room. As you check in at reception, you can’t fail to notice the seemingly tame birds that fly around the hotel and eat from the many calabash feeders hung out by staff. At 4pm each day it’s feeding time. And what a spectacle it is. Bright blue grey Tanagers, tiny hummingbirds and green and red Mot Mots provide a stunning display. 

Arnos Vale provides a haven to nurture the local wildlife. All you have to do is sit back and relax and enjoy God’s entertainment.

The hotel has a lovely pool and bar with a quiet beach and a bay that is fabulous for snorkelling. Just dip your face in the sea and wonder at the sights of angel and parrot fish, orange tube sponges and pink corals. 

This is a hotel to truly relax in, and enjoy Tobago’s wondrous wildlife from your beach lounger. Whether it’s a romantic break or an easy bird watching trip you’re looking for, Arnos Vale ticks all the boxes. 

A standard room in April costs US$120 for double occupancy including taxes. That's about £60.
