Dave, just returned from tobago. We rented the Brash Villa (9 good friends. It is beautiful and a very good value at $350 or so a day. We also had a van to get places. <BR> <BR>The island is great. WE traveled and scuba dived all over the place. Highly recommend it. Through our travels, I would make the following observations..... <BR> <BR>the hotels you mentioned are very nice, and centrally located. But pricey. If you are just doing a beach vacation, they would be nice as Coco is near Pigeon Point a cool beach area. YOU can also scuba dive or learn to dive from this spot (Although the service we used, picked you up at no charge and returned you to your hotel. The name is Scuba Adventure Safari - www.divetobago.com <BR> <BR>Also can take a full day booze cruise on a katamaran from P. Point. Great day at $70 us per person. Web Address is www.trinidad.net/kalina. <BR>e <BR>Another beach hotl is rex turtle beach hotel. Not sure of the price, but we "adopted" a couple of brits staying there and visited them at their hotel. Very nice pool and wonderful beach about 20 minutes from the airport. all inclusive place. <BR> <BR>If you are up for renting a car, I would consider Top of Tobago )email at ( [email protected])Its a villa on top of a hill, great views of carribbean, nice breezes, with a main house (2 bedrooms at $160 night I think ) and also separate mini-villas at $60 us a day. They are gorgeously appointed. If you want a private not much contact with others or are willing to travel around the island, consider this place. <BR> <BR>Its also 5 minutes from the beach. But the beach is part of Anroes Vale Hotel. Not sure if they are on the net. Great beach (horseshoe shaped with a beautiful lobby, restaurant, poool, nice all the way around. It is set on and up the hillside from the sea. I would recommend this if you need to interact with people. I would also recommend a car as well. <BR> <BR>These are my thoughts--good luck. Wanda
