A tropical rain forest creeps up behind this sprawling ecofriendly hotel, which sits on sheltered, turquoise Batteaux Bay with a white-sand beach just east of Speyside. A 90-minute drive from Scarborough, the hotel makes every effort to make guests feel at home. One- and two-bedroom apartments are directly on the beach, and kitchens can be stocked with food for your arrival. The resort caters primarily to divers and bird-watchers, but it's also a fine place from which to explore Tobago's north coast. The restaurant serves the freshest of fish, and barbecue dinners are cooked up on the beach patio. Pros: rooms open onto the beach and are near water; enthusiastic and friendly staff; simple but delicious food. Cons: long drive from the nearest town.
