Boatview Apartments

Top choice in Tobago


Fronted by a huge shared deck overlooking the ocean, and right over Heavenly Bay, these self-contained studio apartments have kitchen, ceiling fan, cold-water showers and a mosquito-netted double bed; the futon sofa can also pull out to sleep another person. Rates are great for the location, and the super-friendly owners offer fantastic hospitality and heaps of hands-on local expertise.
