Trinidad, the larger of the two islands, has a fantastic selection of hotels. This is luxury-break territory and you can expect to check in at some of the finest four- and five-star hotel resorts in the Caribbean.

The north and north-eastern coastlines of Trinidad are peppered with hotels. The sweeping sands of Maracas Bay, in the north of the island, lure many holidaymakers. Matura Bay is over on the north-east coast and another popular holiday spot.

The capital, Port of Spain, also has plenty of good-value hotels.

The fine and dry weather between January and March sees the highest demand for hotels on the islands. Stay in Trinidad during February’s carnival for an unforgettable look at the Caribbean, but book early to secure your room.

Chilling out on the island of Tobago is easy. From the soft sands to the rainforests, holidays here are spent on Tobago Time. A good range of hotels can be booked here, too, with plenty of luxury options as well as budget rooms. The amenities of Crown Point and Pigeon Point make the south-western tip of Tobago a magnet for visitors.
